Using social behaviour change to promote healthy diets among children and adolescents

Global Food and Nutrition Security

The Bhutan Nutrition Strategy and Action Plan (2020–2025) seeks to improve the nutritional status of schoolchildren and adolescents, including those in monastic institutions, through improved nutrition knowledge, attitudes, skills, and practices. Based on behavioural research into food and snack consumption, a comprehensive Social Behaviour Change (SBC) Strategy and Action Plan was developed by WFP with government partners, including the Ministry Education and Skills Development (MoESD), Ministry of Health (MoH) and Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (MoAL). The SBC strategy contains both in and out-of-school SBC activities, campaigns, and materials.
