Missed Opportunities for Nutrition Interventions in First 1000 Days

02 Sep 2021

Existing health and community nutrition systems have the potential to deliver many nutrition interventions. However, the coverage of nutrition interventions across the delivery platforms of these systems has not been uniform.  This paper examines the opportunity gaps over time for seven nutrition interventions and their associated delivery platforms at national and state levels. It assess equality and changes in equality between 2006 and 2016 for opportunity gaps by education, residence, socioeconomic status (SES), public and private platforms.  This study found that though India’s progress in coverage of health and nutrition interventions in the last decade is promising, both opportunity and equality gaps remain. It is critical to close these gaps by addressing policy and programmatic delivery systems bottlenecks to achieve universal coverage for both health and nutrition within the delivery system. It is a useful study for policymakers. Click here to read the study.
