Overview of the PINGS project
The Integrated Nutrition and Gender Project in Senegal (PINGS) set out to address a persistent reality: nutrition outcomes are closely tied to gender roles, access to resources and decision‑making within households and communities. Working across regions of Senegal, the project focused on practical ways to strengthen both nutrition and gender equality through existing local systems.
Rather than introducing stand‑alone interventions, PINGS worked with community structures, health services and local actors to build on what already existed. This included strengthening frontline health services, supporting women’s economic activities, and encouraging greater participation of men in health, nutrition and household responsibilities. Across these efforts, the aim was consistent: to make it easier for families to access nutrition, adopt healthy practices and share decisions that affect their wellbeing.
PINGS was implemented by Nutrition International, with support from the Government of Canada, in collaboration with the Government of Senegal, Conseil National de Développement de la Nutrition, World Vision and local partners.
