Public Health Nutrition Initiatives Using Health Promotion Approaches to Promote Healthy Food Consumption, especially on Dietary Salt Intake to Prevent Hypertension among Different Population Groups in Nigeria

Title: Adoption of National Home Grown School Feeding (NHGSF) Programme to Promote Safe Dietary Sodium (Salt) Intake and Reduce Risk of Cardiovascular Disease Among School Age Children in South West Nigeria

Funder: Resolve to Save Lives and Global LINKS community

Brief Summary: The concerns for development of high blood pressure among school-age children motivated a study to look into sodium salt consumption among this group, as high sodium intake from the diets have been implicated as one of the risk factors to high blood pressure. The school feeding programme under the National Home Grown School Feeding Programme (NHGSFP) in Nigeria has provided an opportunity to assess the dietary sodium content of school meals as an avenue to capture dietary sodium salt intake among the school-age children. The study used a combination of methods to assess dietary sodium intake, which included laboratory analysis of samples of school meals collected from the school food vendors. There were qualitative and quantitative interviews to collect information on experiences in dietary sodium salt consumption and perceived danger associated with high sodium intake. Laboratory assessment showed that the sodium salt content of school meals varied but all were within the daily sodium requirements. The results from the interviews reflected poor understanding between dietary sodium intake and high blood pressure among the school-age children. The project was used to standardise the sodium content of the school meals and the findings were presented to stakeholders in the school feeding programme.

Title: Update of 2020 Mapping Report of Nutrition-related Intervention Project in Oyo State, Nigeria

Funder: ANRiN, a subsidiary of World Bank

Brief Summary: The first Mapping of Nutrition Sensitive and Specific Intervention Programmes was conducted in Oyo State in the year 2020. There was a need for updating of the mapping report in the year 2022 to document changes that might have occurred in the State nutrition space. This became necessary to provide up-to-date information on nutrition-related intervention programmes in Oyo State to assist in planning and coordination of nutrition programmes in the State. Mapping and interviews were conducted among the Ministries, Departments and Agencies including international bodies and local non-governmental organisations, working in Nutrition-related intervention programmes in the State to profile them and document information on areas of focus, staff strength, location, source of funding and challenges among other important information. This will be used to prevent duplication of programmes and to ensure that nutrition intervention programmes are not concentrated in major cities alone but cover the entire State. The exercise will also assist in providing information to funders that will want to support Nutrition programmes in the State.
