Project Goal(s): Enhanced child survival and improved quality of life, health, and nutritional status of children, women, and vulnerable people in Ethiopia Acute malnutrition is reduced in targeted Ethiopian communities and nutritionally vulnerable population groups have access to community-based nutritional support and care.
Project Outputs and/or Results:
Result 1: Severely malnourished children have achieved an improved nutritional and health status through adequate therapeutic feeding and community-based outpatient treatment:
• Provision of ready-to-eat-foods (RUTF) and other project necessities.
• Ensuring that IEC materials (provided by UNICEF) are displayed at CTC sites.
• Ensure that the mothers/caretakers of severely malnourished children received education in hygiene and sanitation, good feeding practise and HIV.
• Ensure that CTC sites have a rehydration corner.
• Support existing and establish new stabilization centres.
• Training (and retraining) of stakeholders.
• Follow up of community based monitoring system to ensure early identification of malnourished children.
• Regular monitoring of CTC programs and provision of technical assistance.
• Collation, analysis, and dissemination of CTC reports.
Result 2: Immediate nutritional and support needs of malnourished children and identified at-risk groups (pregnant and lactating women lactating, PLWHA, AWD cases, sick and disabled individuals) are met through targeted supplementary feeding.
• Selection of TSF distribution sites in consultation with communities.
• Procurement and warehousing of supplementary food rations for 77,600 beneficiaries.
• Management / oversight of food distribution exercises.
• Monitoring of nutritional status of people being treated in AWD case treatment centres and provide therapeutic and/or supplementary feeding as appropriate.
Result 3: Increased local capacities in nutritional assessment and malnutrition screening, strengthened community structures in management and correction of malnutrition.
• Facilitate linkages of health facilities with community-based therapeutic care and supplementary nutrition services.
• Basic CTC training for health workers to integrate CTC on existing health structure.
• Training activities to improve knowledge of nutritional requirements and food-related practices among community leaders, beneficiaries, their care takers and family members.
• Provision of training, e.g. on the relationship between nutrition and HIV and stigma reduction to community based organizations working with PLWHA.
• 80,350 individuals will directly benefit from nutritional project interventions.
• Approx. 1,250 staff members of institutions (health office, DPPA, etc), community volunteers, and members of community-based organizations will benefit from capacity building and training in nutritional screening, management of malnutrition, prevention, etc.
