Project Objective(s):

"1. Improved nutrition governance at the sub-national and national levels demonstrated by enhanced coordination within and between ministries and sectors at the national and local levels, increased resource allocations to nutrition and effective implementation of nutrition related policies and programmes on the ground. 2. Enhanced capacity of government frontline service providers to deliver nutrition related (both specific and sensitive) services in an effective and inclusive manner and increased uptake of services by nutritionally vulnerable groups (PLWs, children under two years of age, adolescent). 3. Girls and newlywed couples from the very poor and moderate poor households, extreme poor and moderate poor households with pregnant women, lactating mothers with children under 2 and adolescent girls are empowered to overcome economic barriers to nutrition and become more resilient to social, economic and climatic vulnerabilities and shocks. 4. Increased knowledge, skills and power of extreme poor and moderate poor households, particularly women and adolescent girls, to practice and support appropriate IYCF and MCHN behaviour and challenge harmful gender norms (early marriage, early pregnancy and GBV). 5. Deliver a solid and rigorous knowledge and evidence base to galvanise momentum for change to support scalable interventions that address chronic malnutrition throughout Bangladesh. "

Expected outcomes from the project:

"1. HH food security status (HH dietary diversity and consumption of nutritious food) improved and sustained through GoB and market systems. 2. Strengthened coordination and governance for multi-sectoral nutrition Programs at national & sub-national levels"

Expected outputs from the project:

"1.1 Increased HH income and productive assets 1.2 Shocks are better absorbed by mainstreaming resilience into program activities 1.3 Increased HH production of nutritious food 2.1 Caregivers (women and adolescents) are empowered with knowledge, skills and agency to practice improved IYCF and MCHN 3.1 Increased support and commitment for nutrition related activities from relevant GOB ministries and Local Government Institutions (LGI)
