- National Institute of Public Health (NIOPH) – Lao PDR
- National Nutrition Center (NNC) – Lao PDR
- National Agriculture and Forestry Research Institute (NAFRI) – Lao PDR

Project Summary
Food insecurity and malnutrition remain persistent challenges among upland populations in Asia. Interventions are often fragmented and address immediate rather than underlying causes. Nutrition-Sensitive Agriculture (NSA) is an inter-sectoral, multi-level food system approach maximising agriculture’s contribution to improved food security and nutrition. However, it still lacks a robust evidence-base. Building upon existing interventions in Vietnam and Lao PDR, this project generates evidence on the effectiveness of, and best way to scale-up, NSA amongst ethnic minorities in mountainous areas. It utilizes Complex Adaptive System Theory and Transition Management to analyse processes of embedding NSA interventions in food systems. A transdisciplinary research methodology is used to assess effectiveness and enhance adaptive and transformational capacities of studied interventions. Comparative case study analysis results in a generic framework to develop and scale-up NSA interventions in different contexts. Lessons learned advise a wide variety of stakeholders to address food security and malnutrition of vulnerable populations.
Objectives of the kick-off meeting:
- To introduce the project to key stakeholders and jointly discuss ideas and expectations
- To introduce the partners and their expertise to key stakeholders
- To develop a shared understanding of the project (objectives, activities and expected impacts)
- To allow Lao PDR, Vietnam and Dutch partners involved in the project to get acquainted with each other and agree on shared norms and values
