Jordan-UK El Hassan bin Talal Research Chair in Sustainability The Jordan – UK El Hassan bin Talal Research Chair in Sustainability is a joint initiative between the British Academy and the Royal Scientific Society of Jordan (RSS). Its aim is to enhance the research and innovation capacity of Jordan for long-term sustainable development. The initiative is supported by the Newton-Khalidi Fund. This call is open to applicants with established expertise in any area relevant to the challenges of sustainability, particularly in the context of Jordan. Such areas could relate to, but need not necessarily be limited to: food security, water, energy and the environment, cities and infrastructure, climate change, sustainable livelihoods, health and well-being, migration and displacement, inequalities, and education. Specific objectives include expanding research and innovation capacity within the social sciences and humanities in Jordan with a particular focus on the area of sustainable development and issues of relevance and importance to the local context; and improving Jordan’s international research and innovation competitiveness while responding to socio-economic challenges in the country.

Research Collaboration Workshops A series of workshops bringing together past and current Newton Fund award holders of ODA-eligible projects to develop further ODA-eligible interdisciplinary and cross-border research collaborations drawing on their Newton Fund awards We will be delivering of a number of research collaboration workshops and networking/dissemination events in Brazil and South Africa. These events are expected to generate significant impact by solidifying links with partner organisations overseas, by further building the knowledge and skills of the award holders and by facilitating ideas and connections that are likely to extend beyond the Newton Fund’s lifespan.
An Integrated Approach to Improving Nutrition Outcomes in Madagascar The Power of Nutrition is contributing $10m to this $90m, 5-year programme, co-financed with $80m of IDA. The $90m is the first in a multi-phase approach to be implemented over 10 years, which will contribute to the Government of Madagascar's long term vision of achieving greater human capital. Through Investment Project Financing (IPF) , the project aims to increase the utilization of an evidence-based package of reproductiv, maternal, neonatal, and child health and nutrition (RMCHN) services and improve key nutrition behaviours known to reduce stunting. This investment is providing the necessary analytic and technical assistance to build a knowledge base and develop recommendations which will inform the Government’s decisions on the more complex and longer term institutional, financing, and policy reforms required to achieve and sustain results over the medium to long term. Increase percentage of children 6-23 months old with minimum meal frequency by 10 percentage points from 2018 baseline Increase percentage of infants 0-5 months old who are exclusively breastfed by 10 percentage points from 2018 baseline Increase percentage of children 6-59 months receiving vitamin A supplementation within the last 6 months by 15 percentage points from 2018 baseline Increase percentage of women receiving any IFA supplementation at last pregnancy by 15 percentage points from 2018 baseline Increase number of facility-based deliveries from 141,300 to 290,000
Improving Children's Nutritional Wellbeing in Benin The Power of Nutrition is contributing $5m to this $10m programme with UNICEF in Benin to support the Government of Benin’s national nutrition programme. The programme will support the Government to address systemic weaknesses and improve the supply of quality nutrition services and increase demand in communities. It will focus on three key areas: i) strengthening national and decentralised planning, coordination and information systems for nutrition programming, ii) enhancing capacity of health workers, community health workers and non-governmental organisations to deliver nutrition services; and, iii) increasing the utilization of nutrition services and uptake of key family practices. The programme will target over 830,000 children aged under 5 and more than 450,000 pregnant women in three regions. Increase the percent of new mothers of children aged 0 to 5 months reached by promotion of breastfeeding from 41% to 95%. Improve the promotion of complementary feeding from 21% to 95% to pairs of mothers and children aged 6-23 months. Increase the amount of newly pregnant women sensitized on antenatal care and receiving IFA from 28% to 95%.
Improving the coverage and quality of maternal nutrition services in Bangladesh The proposed programme aims to improve the coverage and quality of nutrition services for pregnant women and care for LBW infants.
Better Investment for Stunting Alleviation (BISA) The proposed $10 million, five-year co-investment will support the Government (at Provincial level) to identify, plan and deliver high-impact nutrition programmes. The programme will focus on three key areas: 1) improving maternal, infant and young child nutrition and water, hygiene, and sanitation (WASH) practices; 2) Enhancing the capacity of health workers to deliver quality nutrition services; and, 3) Building the capacity of local government to plan, advocate, and budget more effectively for nutrition. BISA is comprised of three Strategic Objectives which focus on: the immediate context of communities and households; systems which underlie nutrition, including health workers and influencers; and the broader enabling environment, including policies and resources .
Lesotho Nutrition and Health System Strengthening Programme This investment aims to increase utilisation and quality of key nutrition and health services and improve nutrition-related behavior change. Over five years (2020-2025), the programme will support the Government of Lesotho (GOL) in the provision of nutrition-related interventions and essential health services at the community level and in public facilities. It will also strengthen the effectiveness of government in its stewardship function for health and in providing an enabling environment for nutrition.
The Burkina Faso Health Service Reinforcement Project The Power of Nutrition is contributing $10m into a $30m investment in nutrition in Burkina Faso, which is bringing essential health, nutrition and population services to 5 million women and children by 2023. The programme will primarily focus on scaling up high impact nutrition services using a result-based approach to ensure quality, strengthen data and data systems to enable better tracking of need, coverage of services and progress against indicators, support multisectoral coordination to improve leadership across key government ministries. This $30m programme is part of a wider maternal and child health programme totaling $110m in Burkina Faso. Increase the percentage of children aged 6-23 months with a minimum acceptable diet in target regions from 17.5% to 30%. Increase the number of exclusively breastfed infants age 0-5months from 48% to 60% in targeted regions. Increase the coverage of children age 6-59 months receiving Vitamin A supplementation from 76.1% to 95% in the targeted regions. Increase the percent of women receiving iron and folic acid supplementation for 90 days or more during pregnancy.
Gujarat Nutrition Programme The Power of Nutrition, CARE and Action Against Hunger are working with the Government of Gujarat to implement the Gujarat Nutrition Programme, a $13.3 million 5-year investment benefitting both women and young children. The investment concentrates specifically on increasing the capacity of existing systems and programmes as well as building nutrition-related knowledge in Bhavnagar and Sabarkantha, two districts exhibiting particularly high rates of stunting. The programme also leverages additional support from the Unilever Mobile Doctorni communication platform, using a mobile-phone based voice response system to influence health and hygiene behaviours. By focusing on the crucial first 1,000 days, this collaboration between the government and private sector is set to provide benefit to women and children in both the medium and long term. The programme aims to contribute to a reduction in children’s stunting and severe wasting by improving health, nutrition, and hygiene amongst pregnant women and children under 6 years old in Bhavnagar and Sabarkantha.
