Many local, national and international Institutes work in the nutrition sector throughout Bangladesh. Every organization has their own goals and objectives but the prime aim of all is to improve the nutrition scenario of the country. Often it is found some lacking in coordination among GO-NGO, NGO-NGO that hamper program result, under-utilization of valuable resources, duplications, missed opportunity to synergize and to learn from each others and so on. For better coordination, there must first be more sharing among the organizations and in doing so an online platform is undoubtedly a great choice. This website provides a scope to know about the nutrition related works of Institutes in Bangladesh. This is developed with the hope for better coordination of nutrition related works among government, Institutes, UN bodies and others. This work was carried out with the aid of a grant from Nutrition International through the financial assistance of the Government of Canada through the Global Affairs Canada.
