I lead DataDENT (www.datadent.org), an initiative funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to strengthen nutrition measurement for policy planning and decision making. The DataDENT work in India is led by IFPRI and is focused on a) harmonizing measurement across partners involved in the National Nutrition Program (Poshan Abhiyaan) including for COVID-19 impacts and response, b) improving nutrition data decision tools (e.g. dashboards) and c) strengthening measurement of nutrition sensitive social protection programs
