Somebody shed some practical light: What strategies should one employ for management of moderate acute malnutrition in contexts with significant GAM rates (>25%) but where implementation of SFP suffers significant pipeline breaks. Is it sufficient to provide nutrition education to the care givers as an option for treating moderate malnutrition - is there any evidence that this approach could have a significant impact in alleviation of the nutritional problem? I have my doubts though! What options would you recommed for proper management of MAM besides the classical SFP approach?
Nutrition education is a very poor strategy when MAM is a result of food shortages. I know of no evidence that nutrition education worked, and many instances when it will not. What is breaking the pipeline?
