In the process, the frontline workers can work efficiently and communicate frequently with the mothers to provide them real time counselling and technical support.</p> <p> One of Suaahara’s major challenges has been reaching out to individual households due to the rough topography and unavailability of safe public transportation. The free SIM which also provides 100 minutes free talk time in a closed user group will support the program’s frontline workers to frequently reach out to the mothers and continue follow up.</p> <p> Real time counselling along with continuous follow up with the mothers is crucial in changing their behaviours to improve their and their children’s nutrition status.</p> <p> The USAID-supported Suaahara II program is working to improve the nutritional status of women and children in at least 1.5 million households across 40 districts of Nepal.
