Health and nutritional condition of people across all age groups is a major Concern in most developing countries. Mortality from various diseases, both communicable and non-communicable, is still high in Bangladesh likewise many other developing countries. Millions of children and mothers suffer from different degrees of malnutrition. Malnutrition occurs at all stages of life beginning from malnourished mothers who give birth to babies of low birth weight. These babies are more likely to become sick and many die before their 5th birth anniversary. They gradually become adolescents with less cognitive development resulting poor performance in learning and eventually their work output is reduced thus making huge economic loss. Along with those, food insecurity and poverty compounded the whole scenario of the nation. Government in collaboration with development partners draw up policies and programmes e.g. HNPSP, NPAN for the country inline with UNO Millennium Development Goals (MDG) signed in September 2000. Unfortunately the progress towards reaching the goals has been uneven. Some countries have achieved substantially while others are not on track to realize any. Is it only due to lack of political will, lack of adequate resources, unavailability of satisfactory data which could be possible through regular survey and surveillance? The lack of these hinders launching beneficial programs.
