The study highlights opportunities to enhance dietary diversity and integrate environmental sustainability within the SNP-ICDS through local food procurement. Fostering community engagement and addressing logistical challenges, budget constraints could enhance program effectiveness. Advocacy for policy reforms at higher levels, particularly promotion of local procurement and decentralising fund allocation is recommended to enhance the effectiveness of SNP-ICDS
