Sharing, Learning, and Refining: SPRING Holds Program Design for Nutrition-Sensitive Agriculture Workshop in Guatemala

Over the past several years, SPRING has worked to create and refine guidance for the design of nutrition-sensitive agriculture programs. In late January and early February of 2018, SPRING staff Heather Danton and Sarah McClung traveled to Guatemala to share this knowledge and conduct a two-day workshop with the USAID/Guatemala Fomenting Agriculture Incomes and Resilience (FAIR) Project. The SPRING team was accompanied by USAID/BFS Nutrition Advisor Meghan Anson, and a consultant with USAID/BFS’s Food Security Service Center, Dr. Jim Yazman.
