Action Against Hunger Tanzania – Fighting Malnutrition and Food Insecurity
Action Against Hunger Tanzania has been working since 2015 to combat malnutrition and food insecurity by addressing both immediate needs and root causes of hunger. The organization operates in vulnerable regions such as Dodoma, Singida, Iramba, and Dar es Salaam, where climate shocks like droughts and floods frequently disrupt food production and livelihoods.
A key focus is the treatment and prevention of severe acute malnutrition through collaboration with the national health system. One major initiative includes the establishment of Therapeutic Feeding Units, such as at Kiomboi Hospital in Iramba District, providing life-saving care for affected children.
The organization also implements Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) programs by building latrines and installing clean water systems in schools and rural communities to reduce waterborne diseases and improve nutrition absorption.
To promote long-term food security, Action Against Hunger supports climate-smart agriculture by training farmers and students, improving post-harvest storage, and strengthening resilience against seasonal hunger. In partnership with the Tanzanian Ministry of Health, it also helps improve national nutrition policies and build local capacity.
Overall, Action Against Hunger Tanzania plays a vital role in reducing malnutrition, improving health systems, and building sustainable food security across the country.
