Benazir Nashonuma leads WFP efforts to combat stunting in PLW and children

In Benazir Nashonuma, the World Food Programme (WFP) is the primary setting up partner. As part of the program, BISP beneficiary families will receive Rs 2,000 for male children and PKR 2,500 for female children every quarter to reduce stunting in PLW and their under-two-year-old children.

To receive this benefit, women are required to eat specialized nutritious food (SNF), to take their unborn children for routine checkups and vaccinations, and to attend prenatal health checkups and awareness seminars.

Malnutrition is the second highest in Pakistan

In Pakistan, where there are significant rates of malnutrition (40.2% stunting, 28.9% underweight, and 17.7% wasting), there is a persistent child nutrition crisis.

A child’s first 1,000 days of life offer a unique opportunity to lay a solid foundation for future success. Due to these levels of malnutrition, Pakistan is the second-highest burden country in the region.

In conclusion

As a result, the Benazir Nashonuma Program, under the Benazir Income Support Program, has made significant progress towards addressing malnutrition and stunting among pregnant and lactating women and their children. Through 500 Nashonuma Centers nationwide, more than 1 million women and children have benefited from the program with the support of the World Food Programme.

Besides providing financial assistance, this initiative ensures that mothers and their children receive essential health care and nutrition.
