Community-Based Management of Severe Acute Malnutrition Interim Manual for Sudan, Version 1.0 (2009)The prevalence of acute malnutrition in Sudan is high and is a contributing factor to morbidity and mortality of Sudanese children under 5 years old. The Community-Based Management of Severe Acute Malnutrition Interim Manual for Sudan, Version 1.0 facilitates the integration of community-based management of severe acute malnutrition in children 6–59 months into the primary health care system. The manual reflects the transition to the World Health Organization (WHO) 2006 child growth standards, and will serve as a basis for the development of national operational guidelines and job aids. This manual is intended to be used by health and nutrition managers and health care providers working at different levels of health and nutrition service provision in Sudan, as well as national training institutions and implementing partners involved in pre- or in-service training. The manual will be reviewed after 1 year, and community-based management of moderate acute malnutrition will be added to the next version of the manual to complete the overall community-based approach.
