Now Live! Save the Children are pleased to launch 4 new tools to implement support for small and nutritionally at-risk infants <6 months and their mothers (MAMI). The MAMI Care Pathway provides practitioners with resources to screen, assess, and manage infants under 6-months and their mothers. Included in these tools is the first published training package for the implementation of the MAMI Care Pathway.  

We invite you to explore the resources here

  1. Orientation Kit: A 4-hour orientation on the management of small and nutritionally at-risk infants under 6-months and their mothers (MAMI) and the MAMI Care Pathway Package. The workshop provides participants with an overview of what MAMI is, understanding why the MAMI care pathway is important, and what is involved with the MAMI care pathway. 
  2. Contextualization Workshop: After the orientation has been provided, this 4-hour workshop package can be used to guide the adaptation of the MAMI Care Pathway Package to a given context.  
  3. Training package for frontline workers:* This 3-day training transfers capacity to health workers to assess, classify and support at-risk infants under 6-months and their mothers using the MAMI Care Pathway Package.  
  4. Monitoring and Evaluation Guidance:* This package is aimed at health/ nutrition technical staff and MEAL staff during programme design and implementation to ensure a robust monitoring and evaluation package accompanies the implementation of the MAMI Care Pathway Package. 

* Available in English, Spanish (LAC), French, Arabic and Portuguese
