SPRING held three district- and one national-level dissemination events in Nepal to present final results from the Pathways to Better Nutrition (PBN) Case Study, which focused on Nepal’s implementation of a national nutrition action plan: The Multi-Sector Nutrition Plan (MSNP).
As part of our work to improve the nutritional status of women of reproductive age, pregnant and lactating women, and children under two years of age in Mali, SPRING promoted adoption of essential nutrition and essential hygiene actions (ENA/EHA). We adapted the 2008 Government of Mali-approved essential nutrition actions policy to include EHA, building a curriculum for training facility staff and community agents.
SPRING released findings from the multi-sectoral Pathways to Better Nutrition (PBN) Case Study during a national event in Kathmandu, Nepal on April 20th, 2016. The National Planning Commission (NPC) chaired the event. There were over 60 participants representing multiple government ministries, donors, UN groups, civil society, academia, and the private sector.
Much of SPRING/Senegal’s work focuses on partnering with local agriculture programs and working to identify how to make program practices more nutrition-sensitive.
The SPRING/Senegal team visited the project’s community radio partners in the Kaolack, Kaffrine, and Fatick regions. Discussions focused on radio’s role in disseminating SPRING’s nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive messages, as well as devising reliable methods for estimating the geographic coverage and the size of the audience reached with radio broadcasts.
