Health and Nutrition

At MAGENTA, we take a multi-sectoral approach to health and nutrition, recognising that sustainable impact requires collaboration across systems. We work at the intersection of healthcare, food and agriculture, WASH, and community structures to design and implement locally driven solutions that improve global nutrition outcomes, strengthen healthcare systems, and contribute to poverty eradication.

Our approach is human-centred, participatory, and inclusive, ensuring that the voices of communities are at the heart of every intervention and leading to lasting, meaningful change. From increasing access to zero-dose children in Lebanon to transforming food cultures in West Africa and Central America, our research and behaviourally informed interventions have transformed some of the most pressing challenges in public health and nutrition.
