This report examines the role that livestock could have in achieving Feed the Future’s stunting goals. It examines the ways in which livestock and animal-sourced foods contribute to better nutrition. A case study of a Feed the Future dairy program in Rwanda is presented to understand how Feed the Future livestock programs can contribute to better outcomes for under nutrition. In addition, a synthesis of the constraints and opportunities to achieving nutrition goals through livestock are examined. Finally, recommendations are made on how Feed the Future programs that focus on livestock and animal-sourced foods can be oriented to reduce stunting.
