Between 2013 and 2019, the Scaling Up Sweetpotato through Agriculture and Nutrition and Bananas (SUSTAIN) project, led by the International Potato Center (CIP) and involving more than 20 partner organizations, set out to improve the diets of at least 2.3 million households with children under 5 years of age in Africa and South Asia. Focusing on Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, and Rwanda, with additional activities in Bangladesh and Tanzania, SUSTAIN used integrated agriculture and nutrition interventions to scale up the production and consumption of biofortified (vitamin A-rich) orange-fleshed sweetpotato (OFSP).
