Nutrition Surveillance Project (NSP)

Nutrition Surveillance Project (NSP)

Helen Keller International (HKI) has been operating the Nutrition Surveillance Project (NSP) since 1990 in collaboration with the Institute of Public Health Nutrition of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MOHFW) and partner NGOs. It has been an independent source of high quality data on nutrition & health, food security, and household welfare in Bangladesh. The NSP collects information every two months from children aged less than five years, their mothers and households throughout rural Bangladesh, and in urban slums of six major cities.

BEES, one of the partner NGO of HKI, has been working for NSP for the last 3 years. At present, BEES is working with National Nutrition Program (NNP) and on the other hand it is also assisting HKI in research & development, regarding data collection for the NSP project. BEES is implementing this project at Dhupchachia upazila, Bogra district and Sreepur upazila, Gazipur district.
