the project
The initiative – Nutrition to Prevent Mother and Child Mortality and Morbidity in Afghanistan – (referred as “the project”) specifically aims to reduce childhood malnutrition through the improved delivery of nutrition services by health actors, improved feeding and care practices for newborns and infants, and improved water sanitation and hygiene (WASH) in targeted areas. The initiative uses a health system strengthening (HSS) approach where, in addition to health facilities, the capacity of community actors to improve their nutrition practices, is also enhanced. While the project is divided into nutrition and WASH components, it follows an integrated and holistic approach, which also includes provision of psychosocial support.
