Under this matching financing, the MoH&FW requested UNICEF to develop a comprehensive implementation plan to accelerate the universal provision of quality maternal and child nutrition services, including MMS, and under the guidance of Planning wing. Additionally, the National Nutrition Plan, Strategy, and policy need to be revised to incorporate the evidence and learning from the Chile Nutrition Fund roll-out and monitoring.
The learnings will be incorporated in the National Nutrition Policy and The Plan of Action. These two strategic documents are dated and have to be rewritten given the new data (MICS), the evidence from MMS and integration of Early Childhood Development into the policy.
To support these two priority activities, UNICEF plans to engage a high-level national consultant to the consultations, map the existing frameworks and initiatives, synthesize the evidence, communicate with the Divisional and District Health officials.
