Low- and middle-income countries, such as Myanmar and Zambia, face a double burden of malnutrition, with their populations suffering from both undernutrition and overnutrition, resulting in health and developmental issues. To help alleviate malnutrition, WorldFish initiated the use of dried fish powder to enhance the nutrient composition of local food products consumed by young children and women of reproductive age through the Fish for Livelihoods Activity, funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
