encouraging saving and financial planning through models such as VSLs; 2.1.2 Stimulate production of nutritious products that poor households can afford (e.g., appropriate packaging sizes); 2.1.3 Provide emergency food assistance, as necessary, to prevent backsliding of nutritional status; 2.1.4 Strengthen capacity of agriculture extension workers to effectively communicate nutrition messages. Medium-term (0-10 Years) activities include facilitating women's involvement in business groups and using agricultural and nutrition interventions to stimulate nutritious product production Security Policy put in place in 2007. The National Nutrition Policy and Strategic Plan developed from the NSP implements programs that improved maternal nutrition, improved infant and young child feeding practices, promotion of micronutrients, and improved management of acute malnutrition. Between 2012 and 2017, a 1,000 Special Days of National Nutrition Education and Communication Strategy prioritized reducing child stunting. The World Food encouraging savings programs, provide emergency food assistance during food insecure times to allow for a longer period for communities to adapt to their changing climate, and strengthen the capacity of agriculture extension workers to effectively communicate nutrition messages. Outcomes 3.1 and 3.2 will establish complimentary adaptation nutritional products that are cost-effective for at-risk communities to purchase. Include climate risk management language in solicitations and awards. These activities are expected to improve nutrition and have minimal physical interventions. However, there are indirect risks to these activities as they rely on the production of nutritious foods, particularly for Input 2.1.2. Lower rainfall and droughts will decrease agricultural production, extreme weather events will disrupt food production and transportation creating shortages and increasing costs, and will contribute to increased food insecurity and higher malnutrition. Conduct research on a variety of packaging sizes and styles that are acceptable to mothers providing nutritious foods to their children while at the same time keeping the contents viable with increasing temperatures. Create linkages between activities that provide nutrition information to community organizations
