REACH approach adds value to existing country processesFeedback from Mauritania, Lao PDR, Mozambique, Bangladesh and regional hub in Senegal

Expert and neutral facilitation ensures results-focused coordination that produces concreteoutputs and actions, and builds consensus across partners

Skill set of facilitator complements technical know-how of partners: mediation, conflict-resolution, process and change management skills

Institutional capacity development for planning and analysis, program design, coordination, andmonitoring through ongoing, in-service engagement with Government

Platform for joint advocacy to elevate nutrition on national agenda

Identification of clear synergies between operations and delivery mechanisms Proactively identify and overcome barriers to collaboration and scale-up

Development of a sound investment case

Maximizes impact of existing investments, and systematically and proactively mobilizesadditional resources for scale-up

Country case disseminated as best practice through REACH knowledge sharing service

REACH seeks to transform the way governments and donorsapproach planning and investing in nutrition

REACH toolsCoverage example from Lao PDR

~80% of districts cover less than 25% of

population with package of 6+ interventions

Note: Map produced by the NSC, July 2003. Coverage map reflects districts proposed for early implementation of MNCH core package as having full coverageSource: Poverty statistics reports, provincial committees/authorities

A typical child in Lao PDR receives only ~4 of

the interventions it needs
