On Going Projects

Community-Based Nutrition Initiative (CBNI) Project in Takhar and Baghlan:
The Community-Based Nutrition Intervention (CBNI) project is currently being implemented in Takhar and Baghlan provinces with the goal of improving the nutritional status of children under five, adolescent girls, and pregnant and lactating women. This initiative focuses on promoting essential nutrition actions through community health workers, family health action groups, and community engagement.

Through awareness sessions, home visits, and counseling services, the project empowers families with practical knowledge on child feeding, hygiene, maternal nutrition, and growth monitoring. CBNI also supports early identification and referral of malnourished children to health facilities.

Our organization, in close coordination with local health authorities and partners, is committed to strengthening community capacity and contributing to a sustainable reduction in malnutrition in these provinces.

The Community-Based Nutrition Intervention (CBNI) is a vital public health project implemented by OCED in Takhar and Baghlan provinces. The project aims to address the persistent challenges of malnutrition among vulnerable populations, particularly children under five, pregnant and lactating women, and adolescent girls. Malnutrition remains a major health concern in Afghanistan, leading to preventable illness, poor growth, cognitive impairments, and even death. Through the CBNI project, OCED strives to improve nutritional outcomes and promote long-term behavior change at the household and community level.
