Population Reached
National and regional piloting of the Nutrition Smart CommUNITY started in India, Bangladesh and Nepal and will continue in the coming years in Tajikistan, Ethiopia, Malawi, Sierra Leone, and Burundi.
It is a collective of experts with strong implementation experience in facilitation skills, developing multi-lingual manuals/e-manuals and smartphone-based training kits. The “Food system Academy” is a pool of experienced implementers who have hands-on experience in communicating with the target audiences and thorough knowledge of the five good practices and supports localising the concept and developing need-based tools.
Monitoring tool that captures observable associations between a child’s growth and nine underlying factors of malnutrition. The dashboard regularly reports on 10 indicators (child’s nutrition growth + 9 practices) at household level and village/community level.
They showcase all elements and components of the Nutrition Smart CommUNITY approach for larger replication. The model villages play the role of an incubator for developing and piloting new innovative practices. The villages are connected to the global platform to give marginalised communities a voice, drive empowerment, promote cross-learning, and allowing continuous documentation on progress.
