Pakistan
has one of the highest rates of under-five mortality in South Asia.
SRSP under the DFAT funded project “Women Economic Empowerment and
market Development” (WEEMD) chose to address this issue using the
community participatory approach. SRSP in three districts Charsadda,
Nowshera and Peshawar has trained women activists as Nutrition Extension
Workers (NEW) through conducting ToT (Training of Trainers) on
Adolescent, Pregnant and Lactating Balanced Diet, Infant and Young Child
Nutrition (IYCN).
These extension workers are now
working as nutrition focal persons in their respective villages and
conducting awareness raising campaigns for the women and adolescent
girls. So far, 3600 women attended these sessions.
