The project consists of the following components: I: This component corresponds to a package of community services and activities inclluding: community-based growth monitoring and promotion/community-based integrated management of childhoodd illnesses, and micronutrient. II: This component continues the work begun during the first phase by involving sector ministries in a more formal and systematic manner. On the basis of existing sector development plans, areas of collaboration will be identified, with particular emphasis on strengthening the planning capacity. III: The main functions of the official group for the reduction of malnutrition (CLM's) are to ensure that nutrition remains high on the national development agenda and to maintain oversight of the National Policy Letter on Nutrition and Development (PLND) implementation. The program will continue to strengthen the performance of the CLM and its decentralized representations at the regional level by enhancing the discussions on nutrition-relevant issues as well as promoting the participation of stakeholders, including local government representatives who will play a more important role in the second phase of the program.
