Bio- enhancing the synergies in joint efforts between fortification Agriculture agriculture, health and nutrition Social Behavior Change and Communications All components Improved availability, Increased Increased Decreased Increased access, intake knowledge labor risk of AAD income and of nutritious, of nutrition, productivity gender equity safe foods food safety RESULT: Improved nutrition and health, especially among women and young children

Initial Research Priorities NUTRITIONAL VALUE CHAINS • overall framework and assessment of opportunities for different food systems • co-develop specific value chain opportunities with key actors BIO-FORTIFICATION • continue bio-fortified crop development and evaluation • enhance spillovers - new countries and commercial value chains AGRICULTURE-ASSOCIATED DISEASES • aflatoxin risks and their mitigation • prioritization of food safety and zoonotic risks and their mitigation and trade-offs in intensifying production systems and evolving value chains INTEGRATED PROGRAMS AND POLICIES • continue to strengthen program evaluation with new cross-sectoral metrics and approaches • cross-sectoral priorities and policies with key partners in SSA and South Asia

Program Impact Pathways Outputs Research Development Outcomes Outcomes• Biofortified & nutrient-rich foods available & accessible to the poor 1. VALUE CHAINS:• Knowledge & technologies •Producers to improve quality & safety •Chain agents Impacts of foods along value chains Value chains that Implementers developed • Media & consumer groups provide more Improved• Better, more cost-effective •Regulators nutritious & safer nutrition integrated ANH program food models & capacity & health, strengthened 2. DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS: especially• Strong evidence of the role •Development program among of integrated ANH programs implementers(gov’t , NGOs) women & in improving health & nutrition •Public health program Better integrated young• Good practices in integrated implementers ANH programs children ANH policymaking applied Enablers• Cross sectoral work 3. POLICY: Better cross- incentivized •Policymakers & investors sectoral policy,• Capacity for joint •Inter-gov’t agencies regulation & policymaking strengthened investment

Bio- protection evaluation demand – commercial value fortification • Policy support / capacity chains and social protection Agriculture Social Behavior Change and Communications Agriculture-associated Diseases Biofortification • Some past CGIAR actions (e.g All components • Bangladesh is focal country arsenic) for zinc-enhanced rice • Potential for more integrated Improved • Delivery of other bio-fortified availability, Increased labor Increased Increased Decreased risk food safety support (risk-based) knowledge access, intake foods (OFSP, Fe-Beans, …) productivity of AAD • Potentialand income policy, strategy and gender equity of nutrition, of nutritious, food safety practice support – zoonoses and safe foods environmental diseases RESULT: Improved nutrition and health, especially among women and young children
