What We Do
The ANRiN Project implements a range of activities to improve nutrition outcomes across Nigeria. Our work is organised into three main components:
Basic Package of Nutrition Services (BPNS)
Enhanced BPNS
We provide essential nutrition interventions, including micronutrient powders, deworming, zinc and oral rehydration salts (ORS), small-quantity lipid-based nutrient supplements (SQ-LNS), and ready-to-use therapeutic foods (RUTF) to prevent and treat malnutrition.
Social and Behaviour Change Communication (SBCC)
We promote healthy nutrition practices through television and radio edutainment serials, such as proper infant feeding and dietary diversity.
Service Delivery Support
We offer training and supervision for health workers at the primary care level to ensure effective delivery of nutrition services.
Convergence with Food Systems
We establish gardens and farms with climate-resilient crops and small livestock to improve household food security and dietary diversity. This includes promoting drought-resistant crops and sustainable farming techniques to help communities adapt to climate change.
We provide agricultural extension services and community outreach to ensure the adoption of sustainable, nutrition-sensitive agricultural practices.
Data-Driven Multisectoral Coordination and Accountability
Budget Tagging and Tracking
We support systems to track nutrition financing and ensure resources are used efficiently.
Annual State of Nutrition Report
We produce reports to monitor progress and inform policy decisions.
Intervention Mapping
We map nutrition interventions nationwide to improve coordination and avoid duplication of efforts.
