The CHL Food Systems Extension and Outreach (CHL FSEO) Pilot Projects were selected for funding in September 2023. Projects were selected by local advisory committees based on their ability to engage and empower communities to influence the food system to support the health of young children in the US Affiliated Pacific.
Pilot projects were evaluated based on their potential to:
- Improve outcomes of equity and access to food and nutrition related programs and reduce health disparities among children and their families in the jurisdictions of CHL
- Innovate existing programs to connect food system resiliency and child health, and develop skills to measure food systems and health programs
- Monitor and evaluate child, household, and community food and nutrition security and health status in partnership with education and extension programs
