Health and Nutrition

FID recognizes that good health and adequate nutrition are fundamental to human dignity, productivity, and sustainable development. In a context marked by fragile health systems, recurrent disease outbreaks, and high levels of malnutrition, FID works to strengthen community health services and improve nutritional outcomes for vulnerable populations, particularly women, children, and displaced communities.

Key Strategic Objectives

• Improve access to essential primary healthcare services in underserved and hardto-reach communities.
• Reduce acute and chronic malnutrition among children under five, pregnant and lactating women, and other vulnerable groups.
• Strengthen community-based health and nutrition systems through training and support of community health workers.
• Promote maternal, newborn, child, and adolescent health (MNCAH) services, including antenatal and postnatal care.
• Prevent and control communicable diseases through health education, vaccination support, and outbreak preparedness.
• Improve infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices through counseling and community awareness.
