Project Description
If provided by the financial institution, the Early Warning System Team writes a short summary describing the purported development objective of the project and project components. Review the complete project documentation for a detailed description.

The project objective is to increase utilization of a package of reproductive, maternal and child health and nutrition (RMCHN) interventions and improve key nutrition behaviors known to reduce stunting in targeted regions and to provide immediate and effective response to an eligible crisis or emergency.

The project has four components:

  1. Scale up coverage and utilization of theRMCHN minimum package
  2. Strengthen capacity to manage and deliver the RMCHN package
  3. Project Management, Capacity Building and Operations Support
  4. Contingent Emergency Response Component (CERC).

Components 1 and 2 will be informed by the following crosscutting areas:

  1. Climate change: a “climate change and health/nutrition” diagnostic conducted during project preparation identified climate-related entry points and interventions for this program (e.g. scaling up solar refrigerators in all regions, solar batteries for all data collection tablets, and integrating climate change and health/nutrition education into relevant project activities)
  2. Gender: Given the underlying role of gender inequality in the targeted nutrition behaviors and practices, community-based activities will be assessed and designed as gender-smart.
