Action Against Hunger USA in Kenya has modified its nutrition programs to minimize the risk of COVID-19 transmission while continuing services for the management of child wasting. In addition to adhering to key infection prevention and control (IPC) measures at clinics, Action Against Hunger has also scaled up the rollout of the Family MUAC approach in alignment with guidance from the Kenya Ministry of Health (MoH) and in collaboration with other partners, including the Kenyan Red Cross and the National Drought Management Authority (NDMA).
