Feeding and Disability Resource Bank
Nearly 240 million children worldwide live with a disability, the majority of them in low- and middle-income countries with limited to no access to the support and services they need. To assist nutrition and disability program managers with the design and implementation of effective nutrition programs for children with feeding difficulties and disabilities, USAID Advancing Nutrition created the Feeding and Disability Resource Bank—a collection of resources designed to address feeding difficulties and encourage disability inclusion in nutrition programs. Explore the Bank on the USAID Advancing Nutrition website.
