Blanket Supplementary Feeding Program (BSFP)

The Blanket Supplementary Feeding Program (BSFP) is a public health initiative aimed at addressing malnutrition among vulnerable populations, particularly children under five and pregnant or breastfeeding women. It provides additional, nutrient-rich food to these groups across entire communities, regardless of individual nutritional status. The goal is to prevent malnutrition before signs appear, ensuring healthy growth and development. Implemented in settings with high malnutrition risk, BSFP helps reduce illness, improve immune function, and support overall well-being by supplementing daily diets with essential nutrients.
