will enhance the capacity of the selected Recipient to provide technical support to Government of Ethiopia (GOE) agencies and other partners to implement well-coordinated multi-sector nutrition interventions.

Support for Growth through Nutrition is derived from multiple funding streams:
nutrition (~50 percent), water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) (~30 percent), and agriculture (~20 percent).

A flexible funding mechanism (Crisis Modifier) is also built into the Activity to enable the Recipient to rapidly respond to food security emergencies in its target areas.
