At IDC, we understand the importance of health and nutrition in promoting inclusive development. Our vision of building a dignified world of diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice can only be achieved if communities have access to basic healthcare services and adequate nutrition. To this end, we have adopted a holistic approach that seeks to address the underlying causes of poor health and malnutrition.
Our approach recognizes that health and nutrition are interconnected and are influenced by a complex web of factors, including socio-economic status, cultural practices, and environmental conditions. We work closely with communities to identify these factors and develop context-specific nutrition interventions that address them.
Our interventions are designed to promote self-reliance and sustainability. We empower communities to take charge of their health and nutrition by providing them with the knowledge, skills, and resources they need to make informed decisions. We also collaborate with local authorities and other stakeholders to promote the integration of health and nutrition services into broader development initiatives.
Our approach is underpinned by a commitment to social justice. We recognize that marginalized groups are often disproportionately affected by poor health and malnutrition. Therefore, we prioritize their needs and work to ensure that our interventions are inclusive and accessible to all.
Overall, our approach to health and nutrition is aligned with our mission of addressing global development challenges to promote local transformation, social justice, and self-reliance. By promoting good health and nutrition practices, we are contributing to the achievement of our vision of a dignified world of diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice.
