Goal and Objectives of POSHAN
POSHAN’s goal is to improve and support policy and program decisions and actions to accelerate reductions in maternal and child under nutrition in India, through an inclusive process of evidence synthesis, knowledge generation, and knowledge mobilization.
OBJECTIVES1.Analyze direct and indirect nutrition-relevant interventions to generate knowledge on optimal approaches to address major bottlenecks to improve maternal and child nutrition outcomes in India2.Mobilize evidence-based and actionable knowledge to inform policy formulation and support program planning for nutrition at the national level and in 3-4 key states.

Generating Knowledge: Proposed Activities
Synthesis of program experiences that can be replicated
Field assessment of 3-4 program innovations judged to be the most transferable with the highest potential for impact
Experimental studies of 2-3 core operational innovations to rigorously pressure-test them in current implementation systems.

Knowledge Mobilization: Proposed Activities
Engaging with Government and state level policy makers/ core strategic partners in early consultations, program reviews, field assessments, and field experiments
Convene knowledge mobilization and learning community for stakeholders implementing or evaluating actions to accelerate the reductions in undernutrition
Establish and maintain a knowledge management system to bring together, in one virtual space, all critical learning about program successes and failures in India

Core Research Questions
1) How can agriculture and food systems become more nutrition sensitive?
2) How enabling is the wider context in linking nutrition-sensitive agriculture and food systems to other determinants of nutrition status?
3) What is the scope for the embedding of nutrition innovations within specific agricultural interventions?
Cross-cutting issues: innovation, gender, fragility

Core Research Questions
1) How can direct nutrition-specific interventions targeted to the “window of opportunity” be appropriately prioritized, implemented, scaled up and sustained in different settings?
2) How can indirect interventions (social protection, agriculture, and women’s empowerment) have a greater impact on improving nutrition?
3) How can an enabling environment be promoted, and existing and enhanced political and economic resources be used most effectively to improve nutrition?
Cross-cutting themes: governance, inclusion, fragility
