Challenges
• Human and natural resources at HH level to obtain nutrition-sensitive
livelihood options
• Lack of space/land
• Lack of water-bodies
• Economic barriers
• Intra-household food distribution patterns

Lessons learnt
• Integrating nutrition-sensitive livelihood options along with
MCHN-SBCC activities have a greater impact on improving
nutritional status of children
• More gender-sensitive MCHN and livelihood SBCC needed to
improve nutritional behavior regarding PLWs
