Nutritious Orange-FleshedSweetpotato for Niassa, Mozambique

A new 3.5 year project multi-partner project, “Nutritious Orange-Fleshed Sweetpotato (OFSP) for Niassa” began in November 2012. It seeks to improve vitamin A and energy intake in at least 20,000 households with young children, the group most vulnerable to vitamin A deficiency, by expanding OFSP production and consumption in 7 districts in Niassa province by March 2016. The best bet varieties for these districts were identified during the first year.
