Islamabad: Sitting under the umbrella initiative of ‘Ehsaas’, six ‘Nashonuma’ Centres are opening in Kalat and Zhob districts of Balochistan in the first phase of ‘Ehsaas’ ‘Nashonuma’ programme. The aim is to tackle stunting and improve the nutrition of poorest children through a combination of cash stipends, nutritional food, medical examination and training.
The above information was shared by the PM’s Special Assistant Dr. Sania Nishtar, who heads ‘Ehsaas’. The National Nutrition Survey 2018 found that 46.6% of children in Balochistan are currently impacted by stunting due to malnutrition, with significant consequences for their health and educational outcomes. To ensure that this form of malnutrition does not continue to compromise the human capital required to sustain the socioeconomic development, Ehsaas has rolled out ‘Ehsaas’ ‘Nashonuma’ programme.
