The interactive map below summarizes the latest progress on the introduction and scale-up of multiple micronutrient supplementation (MMS) and balanced energy and protein (BEP) dietary supplementation at the country level by various partners. Countries are categorized into distinct phases, as indicated in the legend. It also shows the prevalence of anemia in pregnant women and low birthweight newborns.

Each country profile provides a detailed description of the current status of MMS and BEP implementation, as well as a summary of six key health indicators of maternal nutrition – anemia in pregnant women, underweight women, low birthweight newborns, stillbirth rate, pre-term births, and infant mortality based on the latest statistics available from the World Health Organization (WHO). Although we acknowledge that national-level data may exist, the data related to health indicators displayed on the World map come from the WHO, providing a standardised approach for all countries.

The data was primarily collected via HMHB’s annual surveys from 2021 to 2025, completed by partners working in the countries. Additionally, information from case studies and reports by HMHB and partners was also included.

How to Use the Map

Choose a filter – Start by selecting either an intervention (MMS or BEP) or a health indicator (anemia in pregnant women or low birthweight). Only one can be selected at a time.
Filter by phase – For interventions, you can view countries by their phase of implementation.
- Select one or more phases by clicking the boxes.
- Remove a phase by clicking the “x” in the box.
- If no phase is selected, all phases will be shown.
Add categories – Select one or more subcategories to see which countries meet those criteria. If you choose multiple categories, only countries that meet all of them will appear.
Combine filters – Phases and categories can be used together.
- Example: To find countries in Phase 1 that also have a national policy on the intervention, select both filters at the same time.
