EU humanitarian policy is concerned with addressing the immediate and underlying causes of<br />

undernutrition. ECHO puts forward the view that nutrition interventions need to promote a<br />

multi-sector approach and a joint humanitarian and development approach. The Commission<br />

promotes the incorporation of nutrition-specific objectives into WASH humanitarian responses<br />

in crisis contexts where undernutrition is a major humanitarian concern.<br />

UNICEF acts as both a donor of WASH and nutrition projects and implementing agency.<br />

Improving nutrition of vulnerable populations by also investing in access to health, water, and<br />

sanitation services is an important principle. It also promotes a multi-sectoral approach to<br />

nutrition.<br />

USAID is the lead U.S. Government agency that works to end extreme global poverty and<br />

enable resilient, democratic societies to realize their potential. The Water and Development<br />

Strategy 2013-2018 calls for increased integration of WASH and food security programmes,<br />

such as increasing access to high quality nutrition-sensitive services, including access to water,<br />

sanitation facilities, and hygiene.<br />

The German Federal Ministry (BMZ) has made food and nutrition security, together with<br />

rural development, a priority area of its work and launched a special initiative “One World No<br />

Hunger”. With this initiative, the ministry aims at tackling not only food and nutrition, but also<br />

underlying causes of undernutrition by including WASH as crucial component in the initiative’s<br />

strategy.<br />

The World Bank Group’s “Water Global Practice”, includes the Water and Sanitation<br />

Programme, a multi-donor partnership that supports poor people in obtaining affordable, safe,<br />

and sustainable access to water and sanitation services. The World Bank Group is currently<br />

integrating WASH, nutrition and health in at least 13 projects.<br />

breastfeeding and food fortification, and expand research into innovative new approaches.<br />

country governments.<br />
