This project (Maziko) aims to benefit more than 236,000 women, girls and boys in two districts where stunting and malnutrition are widespread. Addressing under-five child stunting head-on, the project takes an integrated approach to preventing and treating malnutrition by addressing behaviour change in the areas of: feeding practices, agricultural production, water, sanitation and hygiene while also focusing on access to programs at the district and community level. The Maziko Project uses a model of behaviour change that has been proven to reach large numbers of households while also strengthening the community-based referral to health services.

The Maziko Project uses a model of behaviour change that has been proven to reach large numbers of households while also strengthening the community-based referral to health services.
Expected results are: improved delivery of nutrition services, nutritional practices among vulnerable households, and an improved local enabling environment to sustain nutrition outcome. This will be achieved through for example: an improved ability of women and caregivers to prepare nutritious and micronutrient rich meals thanks to a deeper understanding of optimal nutrition and illness prevention practices for lactating women and children under five; as well as economic and social empowerment of the vulnerable women through increased access to nutrition services, financial resources, and leadership opportunities in community groups, increasing their role in health and nutrition decision making processes.
