Tracking India’s progress on addressing malnutrition: What will it take?

India has a robust policy framework for nutrition that covers most evidence-based interventions (Vir et al. 2013), and it has in place large-scale national program platforms – the Integrated Child Development Services and the National Rural Health Mission – with the mandate to deliver diverse nutrition interventions (Avula et al. 2013). The National Nutrition Strategy (NITI Aayog 2017) and POSHAN Abhiyaan, India’s national nutrition mission launched in early 2018, provide an updated strategic framework for action to improve nutritional outcomes for children, pregnant women, and lactating mothers. The mission-mode approach provides an impetus to strengthen not only the implementation but also the monitoring and measurement of progress. The mission explicitly notes that NITI Aayog has a mandate to lead on the monitoring and evaluation of POSHAN Abhiyaan. This Policy Note, developed jointly with NITI Aayog and IDinsight, aims to provide guidance to national, state, and district level government officials/stakeholders on issues to consider on the use of data to track progress on nutrition interventions, immediate and underlying determinants, and outcomes. It proposes an indicator framework for POSHAN Abhiyaan and examines availability of data on these indicators across both population-based surveys and administrative data systems. Finally, it lays out issues to be considered in strengthening efforts to improve the use of data in the context of POSHAN Abhiyaan and makes key recommendations on improving data availability and improving the use of currently available data.

Achieving the 2025 World Health Assembly targets for nutrition in India: What will it cost?

Achieving the 2025 World Health Assembly targets for nutrition in India: What will it cost?

Our analysis indicates that there are large interstate differences in the delivery of essential nutrition interventions across India, and considerable variability in the estimated costs of delivering these interventions at scale. Additionally, allocations to key ministries, such as the MoHFW and the MoWCD, for nutrition, have been stagnant or have declined over the years. Furthermore, budget allocations for critical public health interventions such as toilets and piped water, are still quite low and will likely be inadequate to cover all families.

Working multisectorally to improve nutrition: Global lessons and current status in India

To identify global lessons in working multisectorally for nutrition and to ascertain what lessons could be applied to the Indian context, a team from POSHAN examined global best practices from other countries, including Bolivia, Colombia, Peru, Senegal, and Thailand (Cunningham 2011; Garrett & Natalicchio 2011; Meija-Acosta 2011; Hoey & Pelletier 2011; Heaver & Kachondam 2002). The team also performed a desk review of nutrition policies and programs in India at the national and select state levels that were designed to involve multiple sectors, ministries, or actors. The remainder of this note presents lessons learned from the global experiences, describes current multisectoral initiatives in India in nutrition, and makes recom-mendations that can ensure better implementation and sustainability of multisectoral approaches for nutrition in India.
