When Agriculture Meets Nutrition Policy!

This project by INAI and TechnoServe showcased how locally grown Parboiled Unpolished Rice (PUR) can be repositioned as a driver of child nutrition in schools.

The intervention delivered:

• Recipes aligned with local food culture

• Nutritional adequacy assessments

• A replicable recipe book for program expansion.

By connecting farm-level production with public nutrition needs, the project highlighted how agriculture and health can converge to strengthen food systems.

Good learning outcomes begin with good nutrition.
INAI, in partnership with , supported the NHGSFP in Kano, Ogun, and Osun States by developing culturally adapted recipes using parboiled unpolished brown rice.

The project ensured that school-aged children receive meals designed not only to fill stomachs but to fuel concentration, energy, and growth. By producing a practical recipe book, the team provided a resource that can be replicated by cooks and schools nationwide.

Good meals today translate into smarter classrooms tomorrow!.

Empowering Food Vendors, Nourishing Communities!

Over 160 food vendors and cooks from the homegrown school feeding program across four northern states participated in interactive, hands-on nutrition training facilitated by INAI under the CA
SCADE project with GAIN’s support.

From integrating nutrient-rich ingredients to adopting safe cooking practices, participants left equipped to serve meals that strengthen the community.

Throwback to a CASCADE project carried out by INAI last year, with support from GAIN .

As part of the CASCADE project, Impact Nutrition Africa (INAI) developed a comprehensive training manual in both English and Hausa, tailored for private service providers (PSPs) in Kebbi, Bauchi, Jigawa, and Nasarawa states.

This manual covers nutrient classification, food hygiene, safety practices, and preservation techniques, ensuring vendors are equipped with the knowledge to prepare safe, nutritious meals for the communities.

At INAI, we are breaking barriers to nutrition education!

This World Breastfeeding Week 2025, themed “Prioritize breastfeeding: create sustainable support systems,” INAI calls for action beyond awareness.

We must ensure mothers are supported through strong policies, trained health workers, and community care structures so that breastfeeding becomes not only possible, but sustainable.

When we invest in mothers, we invest in a healthier, smarter, and more resilient future.

Happy World Breastfeeding Week, 2025.

Empowering Nutrition Through Local Innovation.

At INAI, we believe that the solutions to our most pressing nutrition challenges often lie within our communities. In partnership with TechnoServe , we implemented a project under the NHGSFP to develop nutritious school meals using parboiled unpolished brown rice—a locally sourced, underutilized staple.

The project delivered:
✓ Four+ culturally tailored recipes
✓ Nutritional analysis to ensure adequacy.
✓A replicable recipe book for scale-up

By leveraging indigenous food systems, we strengthened school nutrition while promoting local agriculture.

Hygiene is Health: Strengthening Food Safety through Handwashing Education

Food vendors are one of the gatekeepers of public health.That’s why our CASCADE nutrition training, with the support of emphasized hand hygiene, sanitation, and food safety protocols.

Across four northern states, 160 private service providers (PSPs) learned how clean practices translate to fewer foodborne illnesses and healthier communities.
INAI remains committed to equipping food providers with the knowledge that safeguards lives—one handwash at a time.

When Culture Meets Nutrition: Recipes That Resonate!

Good nutrition is more than nutrients—it’s also about acceptance, familiarity, and cultural alignment. INAI and collaborated to design region-specific meals under the NHGSFP, ensuring that children eat food they recognize and enjoy while replacing the regular white rice with the Parboiled Unpolished Rice(PUR)

This approach reinforced the idea that culturally grounded interventions are more likely to succeed and scale.

Another day to throw it back to the project executed by INAI aimed at developing nutritious and culturally suitable for school aged children enrolled under the National Homegrown School feeding program (NHGSFP) in Kano, Ogun and Osun states.

Through a collaborative effort with TechnoServe , we developed and evaluated seven brown rice recipes—four of which were selected for their exceptional nutritional quality, cultural relevance, and sensory appeal.

In rounding up, let's throw it back to the project highlights of the Impact Nutrition Africa Initiative (INAI's) training in the four CASCADE States - Kebbi, Bauchi, Jigawa and Nassarawa.

Over 160 private service providers across four Nigerian states have benefitted from CASCADE’s and INAI's training. Our holistic program equipped participants with essential nutrition knowledge to foster healthier eating habits.

The CASCADE program employed pre- and post-training evaluations to assess its impact. These insights enabled us to enhance our methods and ensure food vendors grasped core nutrition principles effectively.
