The African Development Bank Nutrition Resources is a product of the Banking on Nutrition Partnership, a program to generate long-term economic growth across Africa by unlocking the nutrition potential of the African Development Bank’s investment portfolio. In this partnership, the African Development Bank is supported by the Aliko Dangote Foundation and Big Win Philanthropy, with technical assistance provided by Nutrition International’s NTEAM (Canada).

These resource materials contain key information about the African Development Bank's efforts to reduce stunting in African children under five years old by 40% by 2025. The information and guidance on available here were prepared for the African Development Bank and are used by the Bank when planning nutrition-smart projects and managing nutrition smart investments.

In the African Development Bank Nutrition Resources, you’ll find videos, presentations, training materials, general guidance documents, as well as guidance specific to each of the five sectors that have the greatest impact on nutrition: health, agriculture, WASH, social protection, and education. You will also find information on nutrition in the workplace and healthy eating.

In addition to the resources developed for the African Development Bank, there are also relevant nutrition learning materials developed by external partners that complement and enhance knowledge for nutrition integration. Please be sure to explore these external nutrition resources, which you will find in the “Additional Resources” folder in each section.

These resource materials have been curated on this site to enable quick access by both African Development Bank staff and others working in multi-sectoral nutrition. We hope you find them helpful to your work.
