Community Outreach for Community-Based Management of Acute Malnutrition in Sudan: A Review of Experiences and the Development of a Strategy

Community-based management of acute malnutrition (CMAM) works best when integrated into current activities at the national and district levels.  Assessments of current services are essential in order to create successful community outreach strategies.  This assessment report details the findings of a review of community health initiatives currently operating across the 15 states of north Sudan and supported either by the Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH) or by some of the major agencies that operate there. The review focuses on community health workers and/or volunteers who operate at the community level, as well as employed staff who work at the health facility level but have a defined role or responsibility at the community level as part of their jobs.

This report was funded by USAID’s Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA) in the Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance and the Office of Health, Infectious Disease and Nutrition (HIDN) in the Bureau for Global Health.
