I am very glad to recognize the publication of NNS newsletter.
For building a healthy nation, nutrition is an essential part. In our
country, people are getting health services through community
based health facility at community level. According to recent
HPNSDP implementation strategy, it was planned to provide
nutrition services to people by staffs of DGHS and DGFP. NNS
program focuses on maternal and child nutrition services as well
as adolescent nutrition.
I express gratitude to IPHN and NNS for publishing this
newsletter.

It is a gratification for me to know that, National Nutrition Services
(NNS) is going to publish this newsletter. This newsletter gives
some programmatic information to understand the current nutrition
information and interventions of NNS that will guide policy makers
to plan effectively for the future national nutrition services in
Bangladesh.
In Bangladesh morbidity and mortality due to malnutrition is quite
high though substantial improvement has been made in last
decade. To reduce morbidity and mortality rate of children we need
to focus on nutrition services.
It is just starting of a journey towards information sharing culture as
a periodical statement.
It is great pleasure for me to learn that National Nutrition
Services under Health Population and Nutrition Sector
Development Program (HPNSDP) of Ministry of Health and
Family Welfare (MoH&fw), Bangladesh is going to publish the
NNS Newsletter (Issue 1). MoH&FW has made a crucial
decision to shift away from a standalone nutrition project
approach to mainstreaming nutrition across all primary health
care services. Nutrition is an integral part of all primary health
care facilities. This newsletter is a very useful publication as it
enables to get recent activities of NNS and information on
nutrition services all over the Bangladesh
I would like to appreciate everyone who are involved in
publishing this newsletter.

I am very delighted to let all know that the National Nutrition
Services (NNS) of current sector program of Ministry of Health and
Family Welfare is going to publish first issue of newsletter.
The Government of Bangladesh has planned to accelerate the
progress in reducing the high rates of maternal and child undernutrition by mainstreaming of nutrition interventions into health
(DGHS) and family planning (DGFP) services, scaling-up the
provision of area-based community nutrition.
I would like thank all staffs of NNS and IPHN for their contribution
to ensure nutrition services and publication of the newsletter as
well. I would also thank our development partners for their
supports to NNS. I would also like to thank Honorable Secretary,
MoH&FW, and Director General of DGHS & DGFP for their
support to NNS.
I am hopeful that NNS will continue developing newsletter and
share with all stakeholders.
It is a great pleasure to know about the publication of 1st
issue of NNS newsletter of this year. National Nutrition service
(NNS) is one of the operational plans of the HPNSDP, that
plans to deliver maternal and child nutrition services by
mainstreaming and scaling-up the implementation of nutrition
interventions into health (DGHS) and family planning (DGFP)
services. The maternal & child malnutrition rate in Bangladesh is
still remaining high though some remarkable progress was
made in recent years. NNS is trying hard to meet target and
then it will be an enormous achievement and milestone for our
country.
I am thankful to staffs of NNS and IPHN for their valuable
contribution for publication of the newsletter. I also appreciate
contribution and involvement of other stakeholders and
development partners for their continuous support to NNS. I
look ahead to continuing publication of NNS newsletter.

Establishment of ‘Nutrition Information
and Planning Unit (NIPU)’:
Since NNS has started its implementation with a
concept of ‘Mainstreaming’ with DGHS and DGFP,
the need for selecting standard indicators for
monitoring and evaluation of activities, outcomes
and results for nutrition has been recognized. As
nutrition activities are implemented by field staff of
DGHS & DGFP; it has been agreed to integrate
nutritional indicators into existing information
management systems of the Government rather
than establishing parallel stand-alone systems.
Efforts have been made to incorporate nutritional
indicators into existing community clinic, DGHS
and DGFP reporting system processes and tools.
A monitoring team has been formed with
representatives
from
different
relevant
Government Institutions to monitor nutrition
training programs and other regular field activities.
Standardised supervision checklists were also
developed for different nutritional activities.
Standard nutrition indicators to assess effective
coverage of interventions was also defined to
measure scale-up and identify gaps. These
indicators have been integrated during 2013 into
DGHS, DGFP and community clinic registers and
reporting system. These revised HMIS tools have
since been rolled-out in 10 upazilas. 3 operational
research studies have been conducted through
independent research organization. Training on
‘Human Resource Development’ , ‘Financial
Management’, ‘Computer Training’ and other
capacity building initiatives related to nutrition, for
physicians & relevant staffs of DGHS and DGFP
have been completed.
In October 2013, a ‘Nutrition Information and
Planning unit (NIPU)’ was established at NNS to
improve the availability and quality of routine
nutrition data from the Health sector, as well as
increased capacity to analyze and utilize nutrition
information available in Bangladesh to adequately
inform planning and programming on nutrition.
NIPU will also work with relevant Government
Ministries, departments and partners to support
overall M&E framework of NNS/OPWith the
support of partners, including UNICEF, DFID, MI,
HKI, etc. NNS and NIPU are currently developing
a workplan strategy to strengthen the integration
of standard nutrition indicators in health and family
planning services. NNS is also working with other
partners in institutionalizing existing nutrition
surveillance systems (ie. FSNSP – more
elaboration needed here). Improved nutrition
information and analysis from the Health sector
will also enable the identification of critical
bottlenecks and subsequent implementation of
corrective actions to address them. It is expected
improved
collection,
analysis
and
that
dissemination of information related to nutrition will
allow
NNS,
stakeholders,
partners
and
policymakers to measure progress, identify gaps
and priorities related to coverage of essential
interventions supported by the NNS OP.
In past months, NIPU has worked in collaboration
with DGHS HMIS team and FP-MIS to revise
monitoring systems, tools and training guideline to
incorporate nutrition indicators at Community
Clinic and UHC levels (IMCI-N corners).

Number of CCs
A harmonised set of nutrition indicators has been
identified for integration in the Health Management Information System (HMIS), a significant
step towards mainstreaming of nutrition within the
health services. HMIS is now responsible to
collect, modify and customize the different type of
data from almost all health facilities through their
data management software (DHIS2). However, it
is quite difficult to daily monitor the nutrition indicators by their limited number of staff.
