Coverage survey, IMAM Programme, Nepal, August-September 2024 – Final report

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.

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.

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.
