The primary setting up partner for Benazir Nashonuma is the World Food Programme (WFP). The program’s goal is to reduce stunting in PLW and their under-two-year-old children by giving BISP beneficiary families extra money every quarter for Rs 2,000 for male children and PKR 2,500 for female children.

In exchange, women must eat specialized nutritious food (SNF), take their unborn children for routine checkups and vaccinations, and attend frequent prenatal health checkups and awareness seminars.

Pakistan as Second Second Highest Malnutritional County

The data show that there is a persistent child nutrition crisis in Pakistan, where there are significant rates of malnutrition (40.2% stunting, 28.9% underweight, and 17.7% wasting).

Pakistan is the second-highest burden country in the area due to these levels of malnutrition. A child’s first 1,000 days of life present a unique chance to establish a solid foundation for future success.
