Training in nutrition-based Income Generating Activities

Nutrition based income generating activities offer community members the opportunity for increased economic security, while at the same time promoting nutrition and health.

Community support groups are trained in business management skills as well as techniques in the production of nutritious products such as soya milk and flour, nutritional supplements and vitamin A enhanced sweet potato amongst others.

These products are initially bought by ACE and distributed to vulnerable OVC and PLWA households. During this time, ACE assists the groups to access other markets for their products. This reduces dependency on ACE, and ensures that the business can be sustained in the future.
