To help fill this gap, USAID Advancing Nutrition developed an overall theoretical framework for sustainable financing for nutrition and guidance on how USAID Missions and implementing partners can ensure USAID nutrition activities can be transferred to local plans, systems, and domestic resources. By targeting nutrition activities, this guidance complements USAID’s ongoing efforts to
finance self-reliance, which advances a host country’s ability to finance its own development plans and strategies.
During this webinar, speakers will present recommendations based on a literature review on the transition of development assistance to domestic financing, and consultations with USAID Missions, implementing partners, and government counterparts working on nutrition planning and programming. Colleagues working on nutrition activities in different countries will share their experiences in designing nutrition programs to ensure that interventions will continue and be smoothly incorporated into government-managed budgets after project funding ends.
Speakers:
Helen Connolly, PhD, a Principal Economist at American Institutes for Research, has more than thirty years of experience in economic research and evaluation and has supported projects across the globe.
Natasha Ledlie, MPP, is an international development professional with over eight years of experience conducting research and studying the gendered impact of nutrition, agriculture and social protection programs on reducing poverty in low- and middle-income countries.
