Traditional snack ‘Mugudugu’ to combat child malnutrition

This innovation develops a nutrient-rich traditional infant food made from local cereals, legumes, and non-timber forest products like baobab, néré, and moringa. It significantly improves protein, energy, and micronutrient intake for children aged 6 months to 5 years while remaining affordable and locally producible. Combining traditional knowledge with scientific research, it supports rural nutrition and food security.
