This report details Bangladesh’s efforts to enhance food security and nutrition through policy interventions and capacity-building programs. The MUCH initiative, supported by the European Union, played a key role in formulating Bangladesh’s second and third Country Investment Plans (CIP2 & CIP3) and a National Food and Nutrition Security Policy. The project strengthened governance structures, harmonized food safety regulations, and developed national dietary guidelines. It also fostered multi-stakeholder dialogue and increased youth engagement in nutrition awareness programs.
