Review
of Incorporation of Essential Nutrition Actions in Public Health
Programs in Ethiopia
The Essential Nutrition Actions (ENA) package is an approach to
expand the coverage of seven affordable and evidence-based actions
to improve the nutritional status of women and children, especially
those under two years of age. FANTA’s Review of Incorporation
of Essential Nutrition Actions into Public Health Programs in Ethiopia
found that the approach has been incorporated into the Ethiopia
Federal Ministry of Health system and multilateral and NGO programming,
however, improved training and other steps are necessary to further
institutionalize the approach. The review, requested by USAID/Ethiopia,
examined a number of facilitating and inhibiting factors to ENA
integration in the context of Ethiopia’s health system.
