Methodological considerations and cost to measure coverage of multisectoral nutrition interventions: protocol for the One Nutrition Coverage Survey in Bangladesh
The study protocol and instruments were reviewed and approved by the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh's (icddr,b) Ethical Review Board in Bangladesh and the International Food Policy Research Institute's Institutional Review Board in Washington, DC, USA. Adults provided signed informed consent and adolescents their assent. Findings will be shared through peer-reviewed publications, conferences and presentations in Bangladesh with key stakeholders. This study will yield new tools, methods and evidence for measuring multisectoral nutrition intervention coverage, applicable to other low-income and middle-income countries. Learnings from ONCS will enhance data collection aligned with national strategies, helping governments improve coverage assessments, inform decisions and strengthen programme monitoring.
