Project Synopsis

USAID's Community Nutrition and Health Activity (CNHA) will use the Core Team model to improve the quality, effectiveness, and efficiency of Bangladesh’s community health system. CNHA will use effective social and behavior change strategies to boost demand for services and good health, nutrition, and family planning (FP) practices.

CNHA aims to sustainably impact the nutrition and health of women and children in their first 1000 days of life. The project will strive to achieve its goal by contributing to the following result areas:

RESULT 1 : Strengthened community health systems to deliver nutrition, FP and health services.

RESULT 2 : Improved household nutrition and health behaviors.

RESULT 3 : Enhanced leadership and governance for improved nutrition.

RESULT 4 : Resilience of communities and households to potential nutrition shocks increased.

Projects Coverage

CNHA will work in 14 districts in Bangladesh's Haor, Coastal, Northwest (Char) and USAID Bangladesh priority regions. These districts were chosen based on health, nutrition, gender, and water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) data, as well as socioeconomic data on poverty, gender-based violence, child marriage, marginalized or hard-to-reach populations, and climate change vulnerability.
