BEHAVIORAL

Community Based Nutrition Package (CNBP)

The Community-Based Nutrition Package (CBNP) is a multi-level intervention that comprises: advocacy and training for government stakeholders and employees; selection and training of master trainers who then cascade the training at provincial level; and selection and training of community-level Nutrition Mobilizing Teams. The Nutrition Mobilizing Teams then organize a 2-day community mobilization session in the catchment areas of each health post to develop a community nutrition plan, which is then implemented by community health workers and two additional volunteers under the mentorship of the Nutrition Mobilizing Teams and with the support of the community members that participated in the community mobilization session.
