Covid-19 response

COVID-19 has had an enormous impact on life as we know it. It's hit vulnerable communities where we work hard; not only as a health crisis, but also a socio-economic one. Read about our COVID-19 response in Bangladesh here.

The WASH & Nutrition Nexus

When we would scale up nutrition-specific interventions, research suggests that the prevalence of childhood stunting, also known as chronic undernutrition, can be reduced by 20% (1). Even though this reduction of 20% means that 33 million children will be prevented from being stunted, it also means that in 80% of the stunted cases, an exclusive focus on nutrition only is not enough.

Max Payment-by-Results

Shifting away from traditional input-based payments, Max Payment-by-Results (MaxPbR) links payments to our implementation partners to predefined results.
