The joint programme “Integrated Nutrition and Food Security Strategies for Children and Vulnerable Groups in Vietnam” was a three-year program that supported the Government of Vietnam in addressing the continuing prevalence of malnutrition among the most vulnerable and in preventing future malnutrition. It did this by improving the monitoring of food security, nutrition and health; improving the capacity to deliver critical health and nutrition services including the appropriate care of the sick and malnourished, improving infant and young child feeding and promotion of breastfeeding; ensuring adequate intakes of iron, vitamin A and iodine including supplementation and salt iodization; and improving food security by increasing homestead food production and linking this to the increased consumption of a variety of safe, good quality food.
