To address malnutrition in Rwanda, this innovation plan aims to map nutrition stakeholders in two districts by June 2017. Currently, there is no detailed stakeholder mapping to inform nutrition programming and resource allocation at the district level. Mapping stakeholders will improve coordination and allow effective allocation of interventions. Favorable conditions include existing national and preliminary stakeholder mappings. The plan involves planning the exercise, implementing data collection and analysis, and disseminating results. Relevant actors like the nutrition alliance and district councils will facilitate the process and provide existing data. Results will be evaluated through stakeholder consultations and disseminated at district and national committee meetings.
