A recent report from the Health Promotion Bureau in Sri Lanka explores the concept of social capital and its impact on improving health outcomes, particularly in relation to nutrition. The report focuses on the Mothers' Support Groups (MSG) initiative, which has been successful in strengthening community social capital during the economic crisis caused by COVID-19. The study identifies six major themes that contribute to the strengthening of social capital, including awareness creation of nutrition, home gardening promotion, promoting livestock farming, minimizing food waste, improving the home economy, and psychosocial health promotion. The research concludes that social capital plays a crucial role in improving nutritional status during crises and contributes significantly to community development in health promotion.
