Transforming Nutrition Data into Actionable Insights HSDF is proud to have provided technical support for the development of the State of Nutrition Dashboard in collaboration with The World Bank, the Federal Ministry of Health, the Federal Ministry of Budget and National Planning (FMBNP), as part of the ANRiN Project.

The presentation was met with great enthusiasm from the Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) in attendance. We are incredibly grateful to our amazing partners who made this project possible!
