Introduction

Kungahara project is a three years project implemented by DUHAMIC-ADRI in partnership with CARE Rwanda under the funding opportunity from European Union and Austrian Development Cooperation to contribute to resilient food systems and improved food and nutrition security in Rwanda especially in the Districts of Gicumbi, Rulindo and Gakenke. The project is being implemented to achieve two strategic outcomes:

Outcome 1: Women, men, and youth smallholder farmers participate in and profit from equitable, sustainable, inclusive, productive, and nutrition sensitive agricultural value chains, which directly contributes to the specific objective of the call; and

Outcome 2: Vulnerable households, and women and children in particular, consume more diverse, nutrient rich foods.

To tackle the different factors hindering food availability and nutrition, DUHAMIC-ADRI and CARE Rwanda in partnership with districts of interventions are work with existing DPEM coordination committees to ensure that food and nutrition are regularly discussed and exchanged through existing platforms at district, sector, cell and village levels to ensure that agri-value chains are strengthened for both food and nutrition security.

Justification

“Community Giant Scoreboards” is behaviour change communication visual tools that are meant to rally residents by publicly tracking community performance against key nutrition and health indicators. Nutrition champions or health service providers update the scores monthly, using green or red sticks to indicate positive or negative progress. The scoreboards are intended to mobilize community members to engage in healthy practices to contribute to resilient food systems and improved nutrition and food security performance results. The scoreboards also serve as an educational tool by presenting images of desirable and undesirable health practices.
