Improving Nutrition Outcomes using the Multiphase Programmatic Approach

closed

The objective of Improving Nutrition Outcomes Using the Multiphase Programmatic Approach Project for Madagascar is to increase utilization of an evidence-based package of reproductive, maternal and child health and nutrition (RMCHN) interventions and improve key nutrition behaviors known to reduce stunting in targeted regions and toprovide immediate and effective response to an eligible crisis or emergency. This project has four components. 1) The first component, Scale up coverage and utilization of the RMCHN Minimum Package, aims to facilitate beneficiary access to the minimum RMCHN package and utilization of high impact nutrition interventions at critical times during pregnancy and a child’s first years of life. 2) The second component, Strengthen capacity to manage and deliver the RMCHN minimum package, aims to remove the key bottlenecks that can impede the scale up of the RMCHN minimum package. 3) The third component, Project Management, Capacity Building and Operations Support, aims to finance operational costs and capacity building to ensure effective coordination, management, and implementation of components 1 and 2. 4) The fourth component, Contingent Emergency Response Component, aims to allow for rapid reallocation of project proceeds in the event of a natural or man-made disaster or crisis that has caused, or is likely to imminently cause, a major adverse economic and/or social impact.
