   • Ensure that no beneficiary leaves the distribution center without understanding the benefits, use, and storage of WawaMum and Super Cereal.
   • Coordinate with Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) and Third-Party Monitoring (TPM) teams to ensure compliance.
4. Designated Staff and Capacity Building
   • Train staff thoroughly on all aspects of e-BSFP to ensure effective implementation.
5. Reporting
   • Accurately and timely report data on children and pregnant and breastfeeding women (PBW) who receive e-BSFP services.
   • Disaggregate PBW data by the number of pregnant and breastfeeding women and children under-five by gender (girls and boys).
6. Information and Education Materials
   • Ensure that distribution centers are equipped with the correct information and education materials, including banners about e-BSFP.
7. Integration with Other Responses
   • Combine BSFP commodities with in-kind, CBT, and contingency responses to maximize the impact of the program.
8. Nutrition Sensitization and Counselling
   • Arrange nutrition sensitization and counselling sessions within targeted communities to enhance awareness of maternal and young child nutrition.
   • Set up special groups among beneficiaries, including male members and community leaders, to facilitate the adoption of appropriate nutrition practices.
