Health and Nutrition Survey in Rajasthan

Agency : Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN), Geneva

As part of an effort to accelerate plans to collect coverage data in priority countries to measure consumption of adequately fortified foods, the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) assigned IIHMR to conduct a coverage survey in the State of Rajasthan to assess staple food intakes among women of reproductive age (WRA) and young children. 

The objectives of this household survey based on spatial three methods (S3M) were to assess and determine consumption of fortified food by women of reproductive age and children aged 0-24 months; to determine the adequacy of fortification; and to assess the coverage of other vehicles and programs in order to identify gaps in the current programming and future programming opportunities.  The survey population consisted of caregivers with a child in the first two years of life. A caregiver may be the child’s biological mother or the person who cares for and gives the child most meals on most days. Under this study, the research team collected data of sample size 4536 from 252 PSUs all over Rajasthan.
