Materials for Mozambique's Nutrition Rehabilitation Program (2011)

FANTA-2 was one of a group of partners that assisted the Mozambique Ministry of Health in developing national protocols, training materials, and job aids for the national Nutrition Rehabilitation Program (Programa de Reabilitação Nutricional [PRN]). The PRN is based on the Community-Based Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) approach.

The Manual for Nutrition Treatment and Rehabilitation, Volume I (Manual de Tratamento e Reabilitação Nutricional, Volume I) contains protocols for the treatment of acute malnutrition for children 0–15 years with or without HIV and/or tuberculosis. The manual is accompanied by job aids, which are aimed at helping implementation of inpatient and outpatient treatment. The Facilitators Training Guide and Participants Handouts are used to train health facility staff and community-based health workers. All materials are in Portuguese.

Support for this work was provided by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID)/Mozambique, UNICEF, Save the Children, the World Food Programme, the World Health Organization, Valid International, the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, Médecins Sans Frontières, and Collegio Universitario Aspiranti Medici Missionari Doctors with Africa program.
