Abstract
The article outlines a proposal for scaling up the enhanced homestead food production (EHFP) program which provides agricultural inputs along with nutrition, hygiene, and gender empowerment training. This research evaluates the impact of EHFP on dietary intake of women and children and household food production. Once project areas are identified for scaling up, Helen Keller International (HKI) staff will hold meetings with chiefs of selected villages to inform them about the project objectives, strategy, and selection criteria for households and village model farms (VMFs)—demonstration farms that function as microenterprises supplying inputs and providing technical support to households in each village.
