A national nutrition programme aimed to accelerate improvements in maternal, child, and adolescent health outcomes. To achieve impact at scale, it required integrated monitoring systems, strong institutional capacity, and continuous engagement with stakeholders across states and communities.

      KPMG in India worked with the client to strengthen programme management, monitoring frameworks, and field-level implementation, for better alignment with national nutrition targets and SDG goals.


      The challenge

      Driving improvements in nutrition outcomes required overcoming systemic and implementation challenges:

      • Limited visibility into programme performance across states/UTs
      • Gaps in monitoring, reporting, and data-driven decision-making
      • Variability in implementation capacity across regions
      • Need for stronger alignment between policy objectives and community needs
      • Challenges in beneficiary outreach, awareness, and service delivery effectiveness

      A robust, data-led and execution-focused programme management framework was essential to improve outcomes at scale.
