The Viable Sweetpotato Technology in Africa (VISTA) is a three-year project that aims to contribute to improved nutrition, food security and incomes among smallholder farming families through increased production and better utilization of nutritious OFSP varieties, especially by those most at risk of VAD: children under the age of five and pregnant and lactating women. VISTA collaborates closely with district level public sector extension personnel (SDAE) and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) financed by USAID, particularly those focused on nutrition and health interventions at the community level and those interested in value chain development for sweetpotato commercialization. This three year initiative, which began in October 2014, will rely predominantly on agriculture, nutrition, and marketing approaches to reach 22,500 direct and 135,000 indirect beneficiaries with technologies related to OFSP
