Grant Overview

Target Outcomes for Nutrition Security in the Marshall Islands

The Banking Institution's Grants to Nutrition Security for Indigenous Youth program aims to improve the health and wellbeing of young people in the Marshall Islands by increasing access to nutritious, affordable, and culturally relevant food. In the Marshall Islands, where the prevalence of non-communicable diseases is high, achieving nutrition security is critical. The program's target outcomes are closely tied to the state's unique challenges and opportunities.

Improving Nutrition and Health Outcomes

One of the primary outcomes of this grant program is to improve nutrition and health outcomes among indigenous youth in the Marshall Islands. The Marshall Islands' Ministry of Health and Human Services has identified nutrition as a key area of concern, with high rates of obesity, diabetes, and other diet-related health problems. By supporting projects that increase access to healthy, locally grown food, the grant program aims to reduce the burden of these health issues. For example, projects that promote traditional Marshallese foods, such as fish and coconut, can help to improve nutrition and support the local economy.

Strengthening Local Food Systems

Another key outcome of the grant program is to strengthen local food systems in the Marshall Islands. The state's geographic isolation and limited infrastructure make it challenging to maintain a reliable food supply. By supporting projects that promote local food production, processing, and distribution, the grant program aims to improve food security and reduce reliance on imported foods. The Marshall Islands' Department of Resources and Development is working to support local agriculture and fishing initiatives, and the grant program can complement these efforts. The atolls and islands that make up the Marshall Islands present unique challenges for food production and distribution. The grant program's focus on strengthening local food systems can help to address these challenges and improve the overall resilience of the state's food system.
