The Building Nutritious Food Baskets (BNFB) project is testing a scaling up model through a multiple crops “food basket” approach, drawing on complementary CGIAR expertise for scaling up biofortified crops in particular. The model being tested focuses on i) advocacy efforts aimed at catalysing policy chang and mobilizing resource commitments; ii) strengthening community, national and regional institutional capacities; and iii) disseminating proven biofortified technologies ready for scaling up. This brief presents progress and achievements of the project between July 2015 and June 2016.
