Baraca, what do you do at FANTA?

My main activities are coordinating the activities of FANTA in Zambézia and providing technical support to DPS (Provincial Directorate of Health), SDSMAS (District Directorate of Health), and PRN (Nutritional Rehabilitation Program) implementation, which includes the implementation of PRN protocols, registration, and compilation of PRN data and stock management.

What has been your proudest moment on the FANTA project?

The moment of glory in the project was to have developed instruments and flow to improve the implementation of the PRN in the health centers we support and at the level of the DPS.
