Capacity Building of Blue Star Providers to Offer Growth Monitoring and Promotion (GMP) Services
As part of capacity-building efforts, Program Division has completed the training successfully on Growth Monitoring and Promotion (measurement of height and weight for age) services. A total of 201 Blue Star Providers from 12 districts attended the training during May-June 2021 period. Considering the COVID-19 pandemic situation, 3 basic preventive measures (social distancing, wearing masks, and hand sanitization) were followed during the training. The training was interactive and participatory due to the inclusion of group work and role-play. It is anticipated that this initiative will ultimately improve the overall nutritional status of under-five children in the country.
