More information
Reaching Agents of Change (RAC) project targets the following countries: Mozambique, Nigeria, Tanzania, Ghana and Burkina Faso.
RAC has two main objectives:
1) Generating new investments by governments, donors, and NGOs to scale up the adoption of OFSP in five target countries. Under this objective, the project will reach out to regional and national level agencies and individuals who will act as agents of change. Agents of change will be responsible for advocating to national governments, donors, and their own agencies to promote OFSP and increase investments.
2) Building the capacity of national implementing agencies to design and implement technically strong and cost-effective training interventions that drive the update of OFSP.
