Evaluating coverage of IMAM services in Zimbabwe to enable national programme

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.

Coverage survey, IMAM Programme, Zimbabwe, July 2024

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.

Reaching the Unreachable Innovations in the use of mobile acute malnutrition treatment services to reach the last mile in disaster-prone and conflict-affected areas

The webinar – “Reaching the Unreachable” – was organized by the Global Nutrition Cluster Technical Alliance on September 20th 2023, with the goal of highlighting the experience of three INGO country programs in extending treatment for child wasting to the last mile through the use of mobile treatment teams in Pakistan, Somalia and Ethiopia.

Community Nutrition Mobilizers as a Key Mechanism to Scale Access to Nutrition Services in Northeast Nigeria

This case study is part of a compendium of country-level case studies produced by the Delivery System for Scale project that explore promising, context-specific approaches to scale the management of wasting treatment for children under five. In Northeast (NE) Nigeria, the Nutrition Sector has recently harmonized its approach across all implementing partners – promoting community-level engagement through Community Nutrition Mobilizers (CMNs).

Lessons and considerations from the Integrated Community Case Management ‘Plus’ (ICCM+) Pilot

This case study is part of a compendium of country-level case studies produced by the Delivery System for Scale project that explore promising, context-specific approaches to scale the management of wasting treatment for children under five. In Somalia, Save the Children, in partnership with DesignHealth and the Somaliland Ministry of Health and Development piloted the integrated community case management “plus” (ICCM+) approach - representing the first-known operationalimplementation of ICCM+ model in the Horn of Africa region and in Somalia.

Integrating End-User Monitoring Within Routine Programmatic Reporting for Nutrition Interventions

This case study is part of a compendium of country-level case studies produced by the Delivery System for Scale project that explore promising, context-specific approaches to scale the management of wasting treatment for children under five. In Chad, where the availability of use of nutrition commodities is a major concern, UNICEF and its implementing partners developed an approach to integrate key end-user monitoring (EUM) indicators into the routine programmatic reporting system for treatment of child wasting.

Innovations from Anosy in Ensuring the Continuum of Treatment Between SAM and MAM Programs, Madagascar

This case study is part of a compendium of country-level case studies produced by the Delivery System for Scale project that explore promising, context-specific approaches to scale the management of wasting treatment for children under five. In Madagascar, the management of severe and moderate acute malnutrition (SAM and MAM, respectively) are handled by different Government entities, which complicates the provision of comprehensive, quality care across the continuum between the two conditions. Despite these challenges, Anosy region serves as a unique and powerful example of local collaboration for integrated SAM and MAM management, highlighting the positive changes that can result from mainstreaming such collaboration within individuals, across teams and within routine operational procedures. This case study, therefore, describes the innovations that were implemented in Anosy, their advantages and limitations, and relevant considerations for other regions and national stakeholders moving forward.
