Objectives and results Elwak is one of the six districts of Gedo region of South Central Somalia. The chronic underlying factors such as poor child care and feeding practices, inadequate sanitation facilities and lack of access to safe drinking water remain long term challenges to the health and nutrition well- being of the population. The project’s overall objective is to contribute to the reduction of morbidity and mortality associated with acute malnutrition in children aged 6-59 months and pregnant & lactating mothers through the management of moderate acute malnutrition. To achieve this objective, a plan of food distribution will be implemented: food distribution points will be set in Elwak, Samarole, Hosqurun, Damasa, Nustariq, Dibayu and Busar, where COSV is already implementing OTP/SC programs. Plumpy sup of 2.76 kg per month per child will be distributed for moderately malnourished children aged 6 - 59 months and pregnant and lactating women on monthly basis along with the collection of anthropometric measurement for follow up purposes. Some of the staff already working in the OTPs in the area will be involved in the activities. The active case finding will be done by COSV staff, and children discharged from OTPs will also be included in the distribution. Severely malnourished children identified during screening will be referred to the nearest OTP. Thus, COSV will integrate the TSFP programme with the existing health and nutrition intervention to ensure maximum impact and cost effectiveness of available resources. Health education on appropriate nutrition practices, child care, personal hygiene, and malaria prevention will be given in each distribution site. Promotion of breast feeding and education on not sharing plumpy sup to non-malnourished family members will be one among the major topics. Expected beneficiaries of the intervention will be 1,384 Moderately Malnourished Children aged 6-59 Months & 276 PLW in Elwak district. IMMISSIONE DATI AFRICA Somalia
