http://www.fantaproject.org/
The Workshop Report for the April 2008 International Workshop on the Integration of Community-Based Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) provides an overview of the overarching issues, obstacles and successes encountered in the integration of CMAM into national health systems. These range from the importance of Ministry of Health leadership, the need to strengthen capacities at most levels of a health system, and provide simple protocols to facilitate implementation, to the critical need for open and frequent information sharing. The report highlights presentations and discussions by international experts in CMAM, including those from USAID, UNICEF, WHO, developing country Ministries of Health and NGO-implementers.
Support for the development of the guide was provided by, the Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance, the Bureau for Democracy, Conflict and Humanitarian Affairs, the Office of Health, Infectious Disease and Nutrition, Bureau for Global Health and USAID through the Food and Nutrition Technical Assistance Project II (FANTA-2) managed by the Academy for Educational Development (AED).
