Wasting and COVID-19 Programme Adaptations Information Note 005

This information note outlines adaptations required to existing community-based Management of At-risk Mothers and Infants (MAMI) programmes in the context of COVID-19: In contexts where services or programmes to manage at-risk infants under six months are in place, further decentralisation to community-based identification, follow-up and counselling support may be necessary in the context of COVID-19. Service delivery should look to leverage existing nutrition and health contact points wherever possible and advocate to continue/prioritise services for identified at-risk infants.
