    • Hi All,

      There were many national level consultations/workshops/seminars held in Bangladesh last two years on Nutrition. e.g. Multisectoral engagement like coordination with other ministries with health, food security & nutrition, ending hunger etc. Now it’s time for a grounded nutrition program which is more important rather than consultation. Everybody knows the pros and cons of the nutrition programming. In Bangladesh women were engaged with nutrition since many years. They are involving with court yard gardening, home based poultry livestock etc. Yet they do not have enough knowledge on nutrition value or cooking practice.

      I would suggest to desk review others documents and immediately design and implement nutrition programmes on the ground to avoid duplication, so that nutritional status will be better for our children, adolescents, mothers and others.
