West Africa is still affected by some of the world's highest rates of hunger and malnutrition. Professionals working in food security, agriculture, nutrition and health need to come together to strengthen concrete synergistic linkages among the different sectors. Only then can the multidimensional nature of the problem be tackled at its root, with sustainable and positive impact on food and nutrition security and on the livelihoods of populations in the region. This workshop aimed at promoting integrated food and nutrition security interventions, building upon existing experience, and providing actors in the region with the tools to do it.This workshop was an initiative of the West African Regional Nutrition Working Group and was organized by three members of this group: the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), Action Against Hunger (ACF) and the REACH Partnership.
