This report examines the importance of fruits and vegetables in combating malnutrition. The research questions focused on the barriers to consumption, current strategies to increase consumption by U.S. and Dutch foreign aid projects and a local initiative, and opportunities for multisectoral and public private engagement approaches. The fieldwork encompassed four projects—in three diverse Tanzanian regions—with budgets ranging from $25,000 to $25 million. Recommendations include creating demand, broadening implementation, scaling up an integrated multisectoral approach, and accelerating public private engagement.
