Re: Nutrition-sensitive social protection programmes around the world – What’s being done and to what effect?

Dear members,

A recent study on a social protection scheme in Bangladesh showed important evidence that nutrition education is a key element in cash delivery programs which aim to have an impact on child nutrition.

The study has not been published yet but preliminary findings are available at https://www.wfp.org/news/news-release/safety-nets-cash-nutrition-education-has-greatest-impact-child-nutrition
