Progress towards Objectives - 2 • Nutritional services provided in all supported health facilities & FCs • 1,105 moderately malnourished children & • 153 malnourished adults newly admitted in SFP • 139 severely malnourished children newly admitted to CTC (OTP&SC)
Progress towards Objectives - 3 • 242 children immunized (DPT3) & • 437 women vaccinated (TT2) • EPI services available & implemented at 4 facilities • EPI services to commence in the remaining 2 clinics this month • Health & nutrition survey conducted • Nutritional status in children under 5 & Knowledge Attitude & Practice (KAP) assessed • KAP findings (expected in May) to serve as baseline information & to develop health education messages

Progress Analysis Quarter 1 • PHC service delivery (treatment of in- & out-patients) uptake slow as expected. Increase expected with onset of rainy season • Nutritional services delivered to 20% of projected beneficiary numbers. Peak in admissions expected with hunger gap • Training took place as proposed & is on target • ANC services delivered to 25% of projected beneficiary numbers. Introduction of ANC services in more facilities, uptake will increase in Quarter 2
Challenges • EPI: The target to vaccinate 30% (approx 13,000) of the women of reproductive age in the project area (45,000) is rather unrealistic & may not be met. DPT3 vaccinations will be carried out to 2,100 children (not 2,884 as proposed) • Out-patient treatment: The proposed target of treating 115,500 out-patients in the clinics is rather ambitious. A more realistic manageable target for the 1.5 year contract period is 80,000
