Dear all,
It is higlighted that no new CMAM program is needed in this Covid-19 pandemic. Reference: GTAM-Existing CMAM programmes should be supported to continue if possible, however new CMAM programmes are not recommended during an influenza pandemic.
If the country has high MAM prevelence rate (8%) which is found even higher in different Provinces. What will be the response plan? How can we strengthen IMAM program ??
Please find a new brief from UNICEF, GNC and GTAM on management of child wasting in the context of COVID-19:

A new resource on simplified protocol for acute malnutrition management has been posted in the the simplified approaches area of en-net here. The protocol combines and simplifies standard OTP and TSFP treatment for uncomplicated severe and moderate wasting.
This might be something to consider in your context.
Best wishes,
