INTRODUCTION
Background
Good nutrition is the bedrock of child survival, health and development. Well-nourished
children are better able to grow and learn, to participate in and contribute to their
communities
Nutrition education and counselling is a widely used strategy to improve the nutritional status
of women during pregnancy. The strategy focuses primarily on:
promoting a healthy diet by increasing the diversity and amount of foods consumed
promoting adequate weight gain through sufficient and balanced protein and energy
intake
Promoting consistent and continued use of micronutrient supplements, food
supplements or fortified foods.
The period between conception and the age of two years that, with good health and nutrition
i.e MIYCN practices can mitigate the risks of malnutrition that hamper a child’s long-term
physical and cognitive development.
Infant and young child feeding practices have a direct effect on the nutritional status of
under two children which ultimately impact child survival.(WHO 2015). The optimal
feeding practices are poor with complementary feeding practices among 6 to 23 months
3. 3
of age.(Basnet D, 2016). Good nutrition and dietary behaviours in childhood are important to
achieve full growth potential and appropriate body composition, to promote health and well-
being, and to reduce the risk of chronic diseases in adulthood. Growth continues at a steady
rate during childhood, then accelerates during adolescence, creating increases in nutrient
needs to support the rapid growth rate and increase in body weight. In addition to the impact
on growth and development, children’s diets are important to ensure overall health and well-
being. (Adhikari 2008).
Statement of Problem
In children under five years of age in Nepal, protein energy malnutrition is a common
problem. In Nepal, 36 percent of children under five years of age are stunted, 10 percent are
wasted, and 27 percent are underweight.
Stunting is more common in the mountain and hilly areas while wasting and underweight are
more common in Terai areas. Overall, 53% of children suffered from some degree of anemia:
26% were classified as mildly anemic, 26% were moderately anemic, and less than 1% were
severely anemic. The prevalence of anaemia decreases with age, ranging from a high of 74%
among children age 12-17 months to a low of 36% among children age 48-59 months.
About 24% of new-borns are born with low birth weight. Only 66% of infants get exclusive
breastfeeding in the first six months of life. Only 47 per cent children aged 6-23 months are
receiving diversified diets and 36 per cent of them receive a minimum acceptable diet.
The proportion of women (BMI less than 18.5, which indicates under nutrition) is 17% and
the prevalence of anaemia among pregnant women is 46%. NDHS, 2016
Rationale
Pumdi is one of the rural ward although it falls under Pokhara Metropolitan. Research
conducted on Pumdi, Kaski showed that the higher proportion of malnutrition among primary
students (5-10yrs). The study revealed 35.4%, 44.2%, 12.3% prevalence rate of underweight,
stunting and wasting respectively.(B sanju, Acharya B 2015) So we would like to conduct
HPEC program targeting golden 1000 days. The first 1,000 days from the start of a woman’s
pregnancy to a child’s second birthday offer an extraordinary window of opportunity for
preventing undernutrition and its consequences. About 80% of mental development occurs
within 2 years of age We need to target our actions to this critical period, using widely
accepted and evidence-based interventions, including support for breastfeeding, appropriate
complementary foods for infants over six months, and micronutrient supplementation for
4. 4
women and children to address deficiencies. These investments in nutrition – particularly in
the earliest years of life – can yield dramatic results for children, their families, and
communities.
Goal
To improve health and nutritional status of pregnant, lactating women, and children under
two years of age by nutrition education activities.
