About EatSafe
EatSafe: Evidence and Action Towards Safe, Nutritious Food is a USAID-funded, five-year program aiming to enable lasting improvements in the safety of nutritious foods in informal markets by focusing on the consumer. Program partners will implement and test a series of interventions to substantially improve food safety, working with vendors and creating consumer demand for safe nutritious foods. Read more about the program in this one-page brief.
The program will be implemented in two phases in each country:
- Phase I — Build the foundation for success: Consolidate evidence, fill context-specific knowledge gaps, and test innovative consumer- and vendor-facing tools to create demand and reduce risk.
- Phase II — Gather new knowledge and evidence to inform future programming: Implement a series of experimental interventions to generate new evidence on how to engage with and empower consumers to demand safe, nutritious foods.
EatSafe's Three Objectives
1
Consolidate and generate knowledge about consumer values and perceptions on food safety
2
Develop consumer-focused interventions to reduce food safety risks in traditional markets
3
Empower consumers, vendors, and market actors to demand safe, nutritious foods
