A national IMAM coverage survey that used a mixed-methods approach provided valuable insights into true service coverage and barriers to accessing IMAM services. The approach leveraged routine programme monitoring data and primary data collection in selected locations. The findings and the strong stakeholder engagement contributed to health system strengthening and enabled quality improvement of services.

This report outlines the findings of a global review on community-designed malnutrition programmes.
This coverage survey consisted of a series of SLEAC surveys, which were conducted across three selected districts, namely Rautahat district in Madhesh Province, Dolakha district in Bagmati Province and Mugu district in Karnali Province, to identify key barriers and boosters of access and coverage from the community perspective. It was complemented by qualitative data gathered through interviews with health workers and field observations by the survey team.
The treatment of severe and moderate acute malnutrition is supported by national Integrated Management of Acute Malnutrition (IMAM) guidelines. In 2019, a guidance note was issued to enable the use of RUTF for children with severe and moderate acute malnutrition during emergencies. In 2023, approximately 160,000 children were estimated to suffer from wasting, including an estimated 19,775 children who needed life-saving treatment for severe wasting. Due to a lack of investment for essential nutrition supplies and quality improvement, only 10,556 children with severe wasting were treated, which represented the lowest admission rate recorded over the course of the last 7 years. As information about treatment coverage is scarce, a coverage assessment was deemed necessary to assess the IMAM programme access and to identify the barriers and boosters of access to treatment in Zimbabwe.
