The Chittagong Hill Tracts, home to diverse ethnic groups including the Chakma, Marma, and Tripura, is renowned for its vibrant cultural heredity and distinct ethnic norms within the community. However, one in two people in the region lives in poverty, with severe malnutrition and stunting among children. Certain NGOs operate in these areas and provide microfinance services to the local community. These organizations can play a crucial role in enhancing maternal and child nutrition by educating ethnic minority families about the connections between nutrition, hygiene, and health. Additionally, they can introduce diverse, locally-produced nutritious foods through various types of interventions. This study investigates how targeted interventions can improve maternal and child nutrition by addressing cultural and social norms that shape dietary habits and food consumption. The goal is to reduce malnutrition within the community, particularly among children. In parallel, women-led organizations like Women Business Centers (WBCs) can play an essential role in strengthening local economies and promoting entrepreneurial growth among women. These centers can benefit the community by creating a harmonious value chain between local producers and consumers, ensuring access to balanced diets and better market opportunities. These centers can function as incubators for women entrepreneurs by providing skills training, social marketing outreach, and savings programs to generate local investment capital as well. It can profoundly impact community health and economic vitality. The study also investigates the role of women-led organizations in enhancing local economies, providing a safe space for learning and collaboration, and creating sustainable, transformative local movements. It aims to uncover how improving women’s economic self-sufficiency can contribute to broader goals of poverty reduction and sustainable value chain. Additionally, the study explores the combined impact of nutritional and entrepreneurial interventions on addressing malnutrition and economic disempowerment among women, and their effects on community well-being and economic resilience.
