In South Sudan, Concern Worldwide runs an integrated program to treat children with severe and moderate acute malnutrition in Central Equatoria, Unity and Northern Bahr el Ghazal States. Four of the 72 nutrition sites are based in Protection of Civilian (PoC) sites for internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Juba and Bentiu. In April and May 2020, following the South Sudan Nutrition Cluster’s COVID-19 guidance, Concern Worldwide implemented adaptations to its nutrition programs aimed at minimizing the risk of COVID-19 transmission while continuing services for the management of child wasting. At facility level, hand washing facilities were established at the entrance and in the compound, staff used hand sanitizer after each contact with beneficiaries, physical distance of two meters was maintained, and temperatures were screened at the entrance, among other measures. In addition to these IPC measures, protocol adaptations included: (1) Modified admission criteria in CMAM programs; (2) Modified dosage of therapeutic foods during AM treatment; (3) Modified frequency of follow-up appointments during AM treatment; and (4) Scale-up of Family MUAC and suspension of mass screenings.
