SPRING IS WORKING TO STRENGTHEN THE NUTRITION SYSTEM IN BANGLADESH
NUTRITION
Conducted 7,568 sessions across 1,280 Farmer Nutrition Schools (FNS), reach-ing 25,010 women with household agri-culture, hygiene, nu-trition, and infant and young child feeding (IYCF) training
Conducted 99,877 household visits to FNS graduates to reinforce the desired essential nutrition actions (ENA) and essential hygiene actions (EHA) that FNS sessions promote
Conducted 4,047 supportive supervision and monitoring visits to health and family planning facilities, agriculture extension agents, and government community groups/community support groups
Launched a study report that found that the presence of tippy taps in and around the household, as well as the promotion of hand-washing, has a signifi-cant positive impact on handwashing practices
