Baseline Study for ‘Build it Better’ Project in Jharkhand: Final Report.

Abstract

Save the Children has collaborated with NITI Aayog and Herbalife to support two of the most affected Aspirational Districts (West Singhbhum and Gumla) in Jharkhand to improve the nutritional outcome for all the children and women in the targeted geography by strengthening the ICDS systems and by creating an enabling environment that results in evidence based, sustainable, multi-sectoral nutrition actions delivered at scale. The intervention will strive to achieve the objective of Sustainable Development Goals target of Zero Hunger (SDG-2). Through the intervention of project ‘Build it Better in Jharkhand’, Save the Children will fortify its endeavour to strengthen the existing health systems and deliver high impact interventions and campaigns, through capacity-building of personnel from the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) and Health departments on early screening of undernutrition, anaemia and referral, growth monitoring, counselling, formation and strengthening of Community Action Groups (CAG) and supportive supervision.
