Description
By 2028, the Government, with the support of partners, is committed to reducing the prevalence of low birth weight in the sanitary facilities where the NSP will be implemented by offering nutritional supplementation to 75% of pregnant women with transverse NHP.
This will involve offering nutritional supplements to pregnant women during pregnancy. This activity will be coupled with awareness-raising and counselling activities to promote behavioural change and the adoption of good practices in food and nutrition. Progress will be tracked through routine data from the Ministry of Health and the NHP implementation report; a nutritional survey will be carried out in 2028; It will make it possible to verify the achievement of the target and to analyze the effects and impacts on the prevalence of low birth weight
