Review of Community-Based Management of Acute Malnutrition Implementation in West Africa, Summary Report (2011)

This report summarizes the findings of reviews of implementation of Community-Based Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) in four West African countries (Burkina Faso, Mali, Mauritania, and Niger). The report discusses the key determinants to achieving maximum impact of CMAM integration, scale-up, and quality improvement. The determinants are grouped in five domains: the enabling environment for CMAM, competencies for CMAM, access to CMAM services, access to CMAM supplies, and quality of CMAM. Optimal practices, a summary of findings, constraints, and practical recommendations are provided for each key determinant.

Support for the reviews was provided by OFDA and the USAID Bureau for Global Health’s Office of Health, Infectious Diseases, and Nutrition.
