Presentation eat what you grow
Changes nutrition beliefs and behaviour in Sierra Leone
Inspired by participation in SUN CSN’s Learning Route in Rwanda, SUNI-CSP Sierra Leone
has changed beliefs and behaviour on nutrition in one rural community
Project concept
Eat What You Grow is one of three innovation plans that won seed funding
from SUN-CSN. Combining the funding with money raised in Sierra Leone,
SUNI-CSP has successfully implemented their plans in one community in
Sierra Leone as a pilot.
The three months project targeted around 2,000 people in Senekedugu
community situated at the Wara Wara Yagala Chiefdom in the Northern
Koinadugu District. Evidence shows that Senekedugu Community suffers
from some of the highest malnutrition rates in the district, with particularly
high rates of stunting.
Ironically, Senekedugu Community produces most of vegetables in
Koinadugu district.
Changing nutrition beliefs
Vegetables are commonly grown in
the community, but most produce is
sold to wholesalers rather than
consumed locally – for economic
reasons and because of traditional
beliefs.
The project aimed to raise awareness
of the need for families to keep a
portion of the vegetable crops for
family consumption and to give them
recipes for healthy meals.
Engaging with the community
To kick-start the project, the SUNI-CSP team in the district began by meeting
with all key local stakeholders, including representatives of Koinadugu
District Council, community leaders and health workers.
• In addition, a survey was carried across more than 100 households to gather data
such as the numbers of pregnant women, lactating mothers and children under five
living in the community
• A mother-to-mother (M2M) support group was formed as a key mechanism for
changing behaviour. Some of the mothers became nutrition champions and were
trained, alongside community health workers by the district nutritionist and the
nurse in charge of the Senekedugu Community Health center. The two-day session
covered healthy nutrition, how to effectively disseminate key nutrition messages and
how to gather feedback at community and district level.
Inspired
• Inspired by one of the best practice examples
they had visited in Rwanda, SUNI-CSP’s Eat
What You Grow also used community radio
to promote healthy nutrition.
• The project featured in three radio
programmes, focusing on key nutrition
messages including the importance of
keeping some of the vegetable crop for
family consumption and cooking healthy,
balanced meals.
Mothers-to-mothers
Support Group (M2M)
A key activity of the M2M support
group was cooking demonstrations
to showcase different nutritious
dishes that could be prepared with
locally-grown ingredients.
Different dishes were cooked
including rice and potato leaves,
vegetable salad and cabbage sauce.
Lactating mothers were also shown
how to prepare Bennimix weaning
porridge which they could give their
babies from six months onwards.
Way to go for our
mothers and babies
SUNI-CSP aims to address this
by scaling-up the Eat What You
Grow approach across the
whole of the Koinadugu district
before rolling out to other
districts.
Future iterations of the project
will seek to address a low turn-
out by men at the Eat What You
Grow pilot in Senekedugu.

  • 2. Changes nutrition beliefs and behaviour in Sierra Leone Inspired by participation in SUN CSN’s Learning Route in Rwanda, SUNI-CSP Sierra Leone has changed beliefs and behaviour on nutrition in one rural community
  • 3. Project concept Eat What You Grow is one of three innovation plans that won seed funding from SUN-CSN. Combining the funding with money raised in Sierra Leone, SUNI-CSP has successfully implemented their plans in one community in Sierra Leone as a pilot. The three months project targeted around 2,000 people in Senekedugu community situated at the Wara Wara Yagala Chiefdom in the Northern Koinadugu District. Evidence shows that Senekedugu Community suffers from some of the highest malnutrition rates in the district, with particularly high rates of stunting. Ironically, Senekedugu Community produces most of vegetables in Koinadugu district.
  • 4. Changing nutrition beliefs Vegetables are commonly grown in the community, but most produce is sold to wholesalers rather than consumed locally – for economic reasons and because of traditional beliefs. The project aimed to raise awareness of the need for families to keep a portion of the vegetable crops for family consumption and to give them recipes for healthy meals.
  • 5. Engaging with the community To kick-start the project, the SUNI-CSP team in the district began by meeting with all key local stakeholders, including representatives of Koinadugu District Council, community leaders and health workers. • In addition, a survey was carried across more than 100 households to gather data such as the numbers of pregnant women, lactating mothers and children under five living in the community • A mother-to-mother (M2M) support group was formed as a key mechanism for changing behaviour. Some of the mothers became nutrition champions and were trained, alongside community health workers by the district nutritionist and the nurse in charge of the Senekedugu Community Health center. The two-day session covered healthy nutrition, how to effectively disseminate key nutrition messages and how to gather feedback at community and district level.
  • 6. Inspired • Inspired by one of the best practice examples they had visited in Rwanda, SUNI-CSP’s Eat What You Grow also used community radio to promote healthy nutrition. • The project featured in three radio programmes, focusing on key nutrition messages including the importance of keeping some of the vegetable crop for family consumption and cooking healthy, balanced meals.
  • 7. Mothers-to-mothers Support Group (M2M) A key activity of the M2M support group was cooking demonstrations to showcase different nutritious dishes that could be prepared with locally-grown ingredients. Different dishes were cooked including rice and potato leaves, vegetable salad and cabbage sauce. Lactating mothers were also shown how to prepare Bennimix weaning porridge which they could give their babies from six months onwards.
  • 8. Way to go for our mothers and babies SUNI-CSP aims to address this by scaling-up the Eat What You Grow approach across the whole of the Koinadugu district before rolling out to other districts. Future iterations of the project will seek to address a low turn- out by men at the Eat What You Grow pilot in Senekedugu.
