Originated as an initiative to bring the stakeholders in nutrition together to streamline their efforts and align them with POSHAN Abhiyaan goals, We Collaborate for Nutrition (WeCan), supported by BMGF, was a national level platform that documented and shared high impact nutrition interventions to enable cross-learning for increasing efficiencies among different stakeholders and development partners working to reduce malnutrition and improve the nutrition indicators across India. Born out of the need for a common forum to facilitate cross-pollination of experiences and sharing of learnings amongst development partners, WeCan aggregated, collated and disseminated knowledge of replicable and proven interventions, implemented by partner organisations. WeCan worked on the thematic areas of Maternal, Infant and Young Child Nutrition (MIYCN) keeping it in line with the priorities of POSHAN Abhiyaan, a flagship programme of the Government of India to improve nutritional outcome.
Under our leadership and management, WeCan project was instrumental in fostering partner collaborations and leveraging the existing resources to achieve the targets of POSHAN Abhiyaan through a range of national and international partners working in the nutrition space across the country.
