Supported by BMGF, We Collaborate for Nutrition (WeCan) 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, documented, 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 outcomes.
As a national platform, WeCan engaged and collaborated with government, donors and development partners to facilitate convergence and cross-learning on innovative models and technical assistance on nutrition to the Government of India and in states including Rajasthan, Odisha, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.
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.
