Measures of Undernutrition Development Contexts Is it possible to define upfront development vs. emergency context?
Measures of Undernutrition Emergency Contexts Note: Cut off points for MUAC differ from agency to agency – these cut offs are consistent with MSF guidance
Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) Measures of Undernutrition Emergency Contexts Note: Cut off points for MUAC differ from agency to agency – these cut offs are consistent with MSF guidance
Marasmus (gross wasting) Kwashiorker (oedema) Measures of Undernutrition Severe Acute Malnutrition Case Fatality of 50% to 60% Case Fatality of 20% to 30% This page repeated later, but took it out

No Malnutrition Children with Moderate Malnutrition Children with Severe Malnutrition Supplementary Feeding Program Therapeutic Feeding Center (TFC) Recovered Nutrition Emergencies Traditional Response Screen the population
Traditional ResponseTherapeutic Care • Inpatient care in a • Pediatric ward • Nutrition rehabilitation unit (NRU), or • Therapeutic feeding center (TFC) • Global standards call for: • No more than 50 beds per TFC • 1 Nurse • 2 trained health workers • 1 nursing aid for every 10 children
Traditional ResponseTherapeutic Care…Cont’d Case Fatality of less than 10% *ACF breaks treatment into 3 phases. **See WHO, Management of Severe Malnutrition, 1999 for further detail.
Traditional ResponseConstraints: Labor Intensive • Inpatient care in a • Pediatric ward • Nutrition rehabilitation unit (NRU), or • Therapeutic feeding center (TFC) • Global standards call for: • No more than 50 beds per TFC • 1 Nurse • 2 trained health workers • 1 nursing aid for every 10 children
Traditional ResponseConstraints: Cross Infection • Inpatient care in a • Pediatric ward • Nutrition rehabilitation unit (NRU), or • Therapeutic feeding center (TFC) • Global standards call for: • No more than 50 beds per TFC • 1 Nurse • 2 trained health workers • 1 nursing aid for every 10 children
Traditional ResponseConstraints: Poor Coverage Health Post TFC Health Post Low Coverage/High mortality High Coverage Health Post Moderate Coverage/Moderate mortality Health Post Health Post

CMAMOur Roll-Out Strategy • Roll out CMAM protocols at national level across the globe • Technical support for revision of protocols and training • Cash for RUTF • Conduct ongoing research • Alternative formulations of RUF • Local Production of RUF • Impact of RUF, and appropriate formulations for: • HIV+ • Moderate malnutrition • Prevention of malnutrition Changed Header Here / Downplay research with Foundation
CMAMSave the Children Portfolio • Support national level guideline • Adaptation and roll out in: Mozambique, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Haiti. • Need for adaptation and roll out in India, Nigeria, and Mali • Pilot activities adapting protocols to address needs of HIV+ in: Uganda, Ethiopia, and Malawi – “Food by Prescription” • Ongoing emergency programming: Ethiopia, Darfur, Pakistan and through SCUK in Niger • Large scale effectiveness trial: Impact of Ready to Use Foods on chronic malnutrition in Malawi
