Provision of both SPP benefits and essential health\/nutrition interventions to mothers and children is a goal toward optimal health and development outcomes, but co\u2010coverage of SPPs and health\/nutrition interventions among beneficiary households is poorly described. Using six population\u2010based surveys in Bangladesh, India, and Nepal (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u2009253,703 women with children under 5 years of age), we examined data availability for SPPs (food and cash transfers) and health\/nutrition interventions, and estimated their coverage and co\u2010coverage during a woman's last pregnancy (interventions: take\u2010home food rations plus at least four antenatal care visits, receipt of iron\u2010folic acid tablets, deworming, and tetanus injections), after delivery (cash benefit plus the interventions above), and in children (take\u2010home ration for the child plus vitamin A supplementation, deworming, iron syrup, growth monitoring, and nutrition counseling). In India, 52% and 51% of women and children, respectively, received food transfers, but only 3% and 8% received food plus all health\/nutrition interventions. In India and Nepal, respectively, cash after delivery was received by 41% and 86% of women, but only 4% and 22% received cash after delivery plus all health\/nutrition interventions. There were insufficient data to estimate co\u2010coverage in Bangladesh, which only had data on cash\/food transfers but not on health\/nutrition interventions. Our findings highlight the need for data on both SPP and health\/nutrition intervention coverage in household surveys to be able to estimate co\u2010coverage. Estimates of co\u2010coverage help identify missed opportunities to reach women and children with interventions across multiple sectors.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/mcn.70233","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,1]],"date-time":"2026-09-01T09:23:51Z","timestamp":1788254631000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Co\u2010Coverage of Social Protection Programs and Maternal and Child Nutrition Interventions in Bangladesh, India and Nepal"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Samuel","family":"Scott","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"International Food Policy Research Institute Washington, DC USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sumanta","family":"Neupane","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"International Food Policy Research Institute Kathmandu Nepal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hana","family":"Tasic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Modern Scientists Global Ontario Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nadia","family":"Akseer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Johns Hopkins University Baltimore USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sunny S.","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"International Food Policy Research Institute Washington, DC USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Harold","family":"Alderman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"International Food Policy Research Institute Washington, DC USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bianca","family":"Carducci","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Johns Hopkins University Baltimore USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rebecca","family":"Heidkamp","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health Baltimore, Maryland USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/wber\/lhae023"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_1","first-page":"212","volume-title":"Undernutrition and Public Policy in India [Internet]","author":"Avula R.","year":"2015"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(13)60996-4"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_1","volume-title":"the State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2023","author":"FAO, IFAD, UNICEF, WFP, WHO","year":"2023"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_6_1","first-page":"1","volume-title":"Evidence and Select Practices in South Asia and Beyond","author":"Gentilini U.","year":"2022"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjgh-2018-001290"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_8_1","unstructured":"Government of Nepal NPC \u201cSynopsis of Multi\u2010sector Nutrition Plan\u2010III (2023\u20102030).\u201d2024."},{"key":"e_1_2_10_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2471\/BLT.21.286650"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S2352-4642(20)30274-1"},{"issue":"24","key":"e_1_2_10_11_1","first-page":"18","article-title":"Rethinking Effective Nutrition Convergence: An Analysis of Intervention Co\u2010Coverage Data","volume":"54","author":"Menon P.","year":"2019","journal-title":"Economic and Political Weekly"},{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_2_10_12_1","article-title":"Availability of National Policies, Programmes, and Survey\u2010Based Coverage Data to Track Nutrition Interventions in South Asia","volume":"20","author":"Neupane S.","year":"2024","journal-title":"Maternal & Child Nutrition [Internet]"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_13_1","first-page":"1","author":"Neupane S.","year":"2022","journal-title":"Data Availability on Nutrition Sensitive Social Protection Programs (NSSPPs) Across Population\u2010based Surveys in South Asia"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Neupane S.
