ABOUT ACTION AGAINST HUNGER
Action Against Hunger is the world’s hunger specialist and a non-profit
leader in a global movement that aims to end life-threatening hunger
for good. For over 40 years, the humanitarian organization has innovated
better ways to treat and prevent hunger. It serves more than 21 million
people annually across 55 countries – with 7 countries within the Horn
and Eastern Africa Region including Tanzania. In
Tanzania, the organization was established in 2015 and has been
intervening in the areas of nutrition and health in Dodoma and Singida
region supporting the implementation of the National Multi-sectoral
Nutrition Action Plan in close association with the Ministry of Health,
PO-RALG, and other sector ministries as well as local government
authorities.
PROJECT BACKGROUND
Accelerating National
Wasting Treatment Reform is a 12-month project; with a focus on
accelerating the adaptation of the new WHO guideline on the prevention
and management of wasting and nutritional oedema in infants and children
under 5 years of age by the national government in close collaboration
with all stakeholders in the country under the leadership of the
Ministry of Health. The project is also implemented in six other
countries across Asia and Africa continents namely Mauritania, Solomon
Islands, Central Africa Republic, Ivory Coast, PDR Laos, and Tanzania.
The project is expected to contribute to the 2020 Global Action Plan
(GAP) on child wasting through the acceleration of the delivery of
essential actions and the creation of a more enabling environment to
achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) targets of reducing
wasting prevalence to less than 5% by the year 2025 and further reducing
wasting prevalence to less than 3% by the year 2030.
In July
and November 2023, the World Health Organization (WHO) issued a revised
guideline on the prevention and management of wasting and nutritional
oedema in infants and children under 5 years of age. The guideline
provided 19 recommendations and 10 good practice statements to tackle an
expanded range of nutritional challenges that include four areas of
focus: infants less than 6 months of age at risk of poor growth and
development, moderate wasting in infants and children 6-59 months of
age, severe wasting and nutrition oedema from a child health
perspective. These recommendations, however, will only be able to save
lives once they are contextualized and incorporated into national
policies, guidelines, and strategies.
Action Against Hunger and
other nutrition partners acknowledge that the 2018 National Guideline
for the Integrated Management of Acute Malnutrition has been useful in
supporting the treatment of acute malnutrition, ensuring quality
treatment among all wasted children including children with nutritional
oedema. The National Multi-sectoral Nutrition Action Plan (NMNAP) II,
addresses childhood undernutrition holistically to save lives and
further prevent underlying causes of malnutrition across the life cycle.
It is in this view that, Action Against Hunger in collaboration with
Ministry of Health take the advantage of this opportunity to
collaboratively contribute to the government efforts to address
childhood undernutrition through facilitating adoption and
contextualization of the WHO recommendations and good practices into a
national policy for implementation.
