FHI 360 worked with local partners to improve the food and nutrition security and resilience of vulnerable populations in two regions of southeastern Madagascar through the Fiovana project, led by the Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) and funded by USAID. As the lead on the project’s social and behavior change (SBC) strategy, FHI 360 worked closely with local communities to develop and implement a community ownership model to improve food and nutrition security and reduce undernutrition. The model supports communities to make sustainable change by setting clear and reasonable goals, recognizing achievements, strengthening community assets through mentoring, and expanding peer education and celebration. Here, community leaders and members share their experiences with Fiovana and its locally driven SBC approach.
