Introduction

Adolescent nutrition affects individuals beyond their teenage years, influencing growth, wellness, and even school performance. To address nutrition-related challenges, UNICEF, in collaboration with Riseup Labs, launched the Adolescent Nutrition Training web and app platform as part of its public health and education programs in schools across Bangladesh.

The platform provides comprehensive training for teachers, equipping them with practical skills to manage adolescent nutrition. It covers nutrition-related illnesses, dietary habits, and food availability in Bangladesh to promote better nutritional practices among students. A complimentary online course is available for enrollment, developed by experts from NNS/IPHN, DSHE, and UNICEF.

The Challenge

Limited Access to Nutrition Education in Schools

UNICEF Bangladesh identified a significant gap in nutrition education within school curricula. Given that poverty contributes to poor nutrition among children, a comprehensive guideline is imperative. UNICEF’s Adolescent Nutrition Training platform addresses these challenges and enhances public health and education program outcomes.
