Project Summary: The overall objective of the proposed project is to ensure improved, equitable and sustained access to life saving nutritional services for moderately acute malnourished (MAM) children (06-59months) and acutely malnourished pregnant amp lactating women that meet national and internationally recommended minimum standard of CMAM for drought affected population. With the proposed PHPF funding support, the World Food Programme will purchase and distribute TSFP nutritious food to support and continue the operation of Community-Based Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) services by the implementing partners to treat and manage moderately acute malnourished (MAM) under-5 and acutely malnourished PLW. Under CMAM program children and pregnant amp lactating women with the acute malnutrition will be assisted with the provision of AchaMum and Maamta ready to use specialized nutritious foods (Lipid-Based Nutrient Supplement-large quantity, LNS-LQ) produced in Pakistan respectively. Besides the direct benefiting of MAM children and malnourished PLW, the proposed intervention will also indirectly benefit the lactating women and mothers of children 6- 59 months of age through community and health facilities-based education on benefits of improved Maternal Infant amp Young child nutrition, health, hygiene and dietary diversity practices. (MIYCN) The MIYCN approach doesn’t entitled any food support and is based on context specific behavior change communication approaches to improve awareness level of the women to improve maternal and young child feeding practices. WFP already has established nutrition services i.e. CMAM in partnership with the health department, govt of Baluchistan and Sindh in the proposed targeted areas. The proposed funding support will fill the current gaps in the services and will directly benefit 7,000 moderately acute malnourished children 6-59m (Boys: 3,360 Girls: 3,640 ) and 5,278 pregnant and lactating women over the next 9 months through provision of 158 MT (AchaMum: 63 and Maamta: 95 MT) locally produced lipid based nutrition supplements.
