Case study · Primary health
A web dashboard and mobile app that monitored nutrition sessions at community facilities across Cox's Bazar district, online and offline, for a Ministry of Health and Family Welfare programme co-implemented by UNICEF.
As recorded on the HGSP platform, November 2026.
The Health and Gender Support Programme (HGSP) is a Ministry of Health and Family Welfare project, funded by the World Bank and co-implemented by UNICEF in Cox's Bazar district. It delivers growth monitoring, IYCF counselling, iron-folic acid supplementation and community sessions through the existing government structure, in host communities and Rohingya camps. Verifying that planned sessions actually happened, across hundreds of scattered sites with unreliable connectivity, was the problem.
A monitoring platform with three parts: a dashboard that gives government personnel and programme staff detailed reports across the hierarchy; session micro-plans that frontline staff submit from a mobile app for cooking demonstrations and Mukhe Bhaat ceremonies; and a live map of facilities and session sites. The app works offline, supports the local language and reconciles when the network returns.
The platform recorded 285 facilities, 2,762 session sites and more than 34,000 sessions with over 345,000 mother and child attendances. Supervisors could confirm where and when sessions took place, and planning was based on current field data rather than compiled reports.
