 Project Brief:
 
 
 
 
 This project intends to customise and adapt global and national CMAM guidelines to the specific context of Meghalaya through stakeholder engagement. This will be followed by interventions for state health system strengthening at a community, frontline worker, health centre and governance level. These are: a Community Awareness Programme to sensitise communities to appropriate diets for young children and to increase communal responsibility for the care of at-risk and recovering children; a health care worker training programme that will be holistic and include aspects of nurturing and responsive care as well as the screening, diagnosis and triage of acute malnutrition; an initiative to improve the capacity of PHCs to serve as mini-Nutritional Rehab Centres and the facilitation of block level multi-sectoral meetings that will provide oversight to the activities on the ground. These interventions are the health system strengthening components of a larger Meghalaya CMAM Model that will include further aspects to strengthen the community&rsquo;s and parents&rsquo; ability to care for children affected by malnutrition.
