MITRA Youth is a partnership between the governments of Indonesia, Australia and Canada, facilitated by Nutrition International. It complements the efforts of the ongoing MITRA program supported by DFAT Australia, which aims to improve key health outcomes for pregnant women and caregivers of children under five years of age by boosting access to health services. MITRA Youth is in the same geographical locations as MITRA, being implemented in 20 selected districts across East Java and East Nusa Tenggara provinces. The overall objective of the program is to improve nutrition of adolescent girls (15 to18 years) through increased access and consumption of Weekly Iron Folic Acid Supplements (WIFAS). Through evidence-based advocacy to the district, provincial and national governments, MITRA Youth also aims to strengthen the government’s focus and commitment to the WIFAS program for improved health and education outcomes in adolescent girls.
MITRA Youth includes the following key components:
Funding for this program began in June 2017 and will end in September 2020.
