In response to the Government of Myanmar’s goal of improving nutrition outcomes, the National Nutrition Centre (NNC), under the Ministry of Health and Sports (MoHS), and the World Food Programme (WFP) collaborated to conduct a Fill the Nutrient Gap (FNG) analysis in 2019. The FNG process brought together stakeholders from a variety of sectors including health, agriculture, social development, education and the private sector. It identified overlap and potential alignment across sectors for a strengthened nutrition response. The FNG analysis and its stakeholder engagement process facilitated a greater understanding of food systems and nutrition contexts across the country. The results from the FNG support operationalization of Myanmar’s Multi-sectoral Plan of Action for Nutrition (MS-NPAN) by identifying and prioritizing context-specific policies and programme packages that can improve nutrient intake of target groups through improved access to, and choice of, nutritious food.
