USAID Lishe Endelevu Marks $25 Million Nutrition Project in Tanzania

The United Republic of Tanzania in collaboration with the United States government is proudly marking the successful conclusion of the Lishe Endelevu project, a hallmark in the journey towards better nutrition across Tanzania. Spanning five years, this initiative from the U.S. government, through the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has brought notable advancements to the regions of Dodoma, Iringa, Morogoro, and Rukwa.

The project’s prime objective was to reinforce local nutritional efforts. Through collaborations with local governments and partnerships with over 300 private entities, diverse and nutritious food became more accessible, leading to noticeable health improvements within these regions.
