'Integrating Nutrition Promotion
and Rural Development' (INPARD) is a multisectoral
approach to delivering nutrition-related interventions in
rural development programmes in Sri Lanka. Although
multisectoral approaches to health promotion are widely
recommended, barriers to collaboration across sectors were
identified in the INPARD study described in this document.
These include a lack of clarity among stakeholders regarding
their respective roles, communication gaps between those
working in different sectors, and resistance by some who
consider health outside the purview of the sector they work
in. Improved collaboration will also require training for
all concerned. The INPARD study was undertaken to
investigate how effectively a rural development programme
could be employed to deliver improved human nutrition
outcomes – an objective not typically included in
traditional rural development interventions in the past. The
intervention considered was a large rural development
project known as the Re-awakening Project (RaP), which
carried out operations in 112 villages in the districts of
Ampara and Moneragala. The villages were selected in part on
prevailing poverty levels, and 20 of them were randomly
selected for evaluation by the INPARD study as it was
carried out alongside the larger RaP. 20 other villages in
Ampara and Monergala were selected as the control group
representing non-RaP villages. Finally, ten villages were
selected from outside the RaP area altogether, in Kurungala district. |
