B-CAN

Until now malnutrition in tribal areas has been in focus.

Until now malnutrition in tribal areas has been in focus, whereas significant malnutrition in the urban and rural areas is usually overlooked. To tackle this problem in a comprehensive manner, an innovative approach and process ‘Building Community Action for Nutrition (B-CAN)’, has been developed by SATHI as part of Nutrition Rights Coalition, Maharashtra. This process includes promoting civil society action for nutrition and improved household nutrition practices through empowering caregivers and individualized nutrition counselling and follow up of malnourished children. Bajaj CSR has been supporting the process the B-CAN process.
