RESEARCH INSTITUTION/ ORGANIZATION
The Better Investment for Stunting Alleviation (BISA) programme is an integrated nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive programme designed jointly by Save the Children (SC) and Nutrition International (NI) (‘the BISA team’) to assist the Government of Indonesia (GoI) to realise the goal of National Strategy to Accelerate Stunting Prevention (2018-2024). BISA targets two Provinces – West Java (WJ) and Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT).
To support the GoI’s ambition to reduce stunting, BISA will:
Implement a Social and Behavior Change Communication (SBCC) Package focused on improved maternal, infant, and young child nutrition (MIYCN) and water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) practices of adolescents, pregnant and lactating women (PLW), and caregivers of children under two;
Provide technical assistance to District and Provincial government and health service providers to improve the delivery and enhance access to and use of iron-folic acid for pregnant women and pregnant adolescent girls; Weekly Iron Folic Acid for adolescent girls; vitamin A supplementation, zinc, and oral dehydration salts for children under five, and MIYCN counseling for pregnant and lactating women, adolescent girls and caregivers;
Provide technical assistance to the national, Provincial, and District government to improve the allocation and effective use of funding and human resources at Provincial, District, and Village levels.
To ensure context specificity, BISA plans to conduct formative research to identify local barriers to good health & nutrition practices as well as motivators and influencers of change to encourage positive behaviors based on which an SBCC strategy will be designed. BISA seeks a proposal from the competent research organization to conduct formative research in 2 provinces NTT and WJ.
