Integrated Nutrition, Hygiene, and Sanitation': The United States Government, represented by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), anticipates issuing a request for applications (RFA) in November 2013, inviting applications which propose innovative ideas to implement the Integrated Nutrition, Hygiene, and Sanitation project to improve the nutritional status of mothers and children in Cambodia. Subject to the availability of funds, this competitively awarded five-year, Cooperative Agreement will focus on four intermediate results: • Increased household-level practice of key Essential Nutrition Actions (see below); • Increased use of improved sanitation facilities; • Improved hygiene behaviors; • Increased capacity of private and public sector partners to promote healthy behaviors. The key “Essential Nutrition Actions”, within the framework of this project, include the following: a. Promotion of optimal complementary feeding starting at 6 months with continued breastfeeding to 2 years of age and beyond; b. Promotion of optimal breastfeeding during the first six months; and c. Promotion of optimal nutrition for women. USAID/Cambodia anticipates implementing the project in three provinces, Battambang, Siem Reap and Pursat provinces, Cambodia. Applicants must provide the methodology or approach for implementation of the project, and they will have the opportunity to propose a sound, cost effective approach for the activity.
