About
Overview:The primary objective of the Joint Programme (JP) was to support the achievement of the MDGs in Senegal with a focus on reducing extreme poverty and hunger, focusing on national policies to ameliorate the nutritional status of children under 5 years of age, pregnant and breastfeeding women. The JP addressed these issues through four results, mainly: strengthening the capacity of local communities to fight against child malnutrition, with a focus on vulnerable groups; fortifying integrated programmes to prevent childhood diseases while strengthening clinics for the treatment of acute malnutrition; promoting communication programs for behavior change in terms of health; and improving early warning systems at different levels to allow for quick decision making in crisis situations. The programme also sought to promote behavioral change and key family practices. The JP helped improve food security by promoting increased food production, the provision of kits and training for better treatment of foodstuff such as cereals, fruits and legumes. It promoted techniques for the production of enriched flour resulting in flour with increased micronutrients, lifespan and quality. This in turn led to increased sales. With the support of the JP, community nutritional services were extended to 167 collectives. As a result, over 100,000 children under 10 years benefitted from regular growth monitoring and over 200,000 house visits were undertaken to support mothers or caretakers with children 0-5 years of age. Training to over 2,000 health workers on new World Health Organization (WHO) standards; therapeutic support and anthropometric measurements and essential medications, contributed to the operationalization of the centers and units for management of malnutrition leading to the intake in 2012 of several of the 12,601 cases of malnutrition in the regions covered by the programme. Over 700 health workers received training on triage and emergency treatment and nearly 5,000 women benefitted from training on horticultural practices. Advocacy and awareness raising initiatives included social mobilization and the creation of radio programmes on health issues such as diarrhea, malnutrition screening, growth monitoring. Other activities included organized visits for parliamentarians, and the creation of advocacy materials on prevention. The JP helped to strengthen the surveillance system through the design and/or revision of the different management tools for malnutrition and child survival of the national sanitary system (SNIS). This included a methodological revision to include indicators for tracking malnutrition, which will allow for regular collection and analysis of data, as well as identification of areas of prevalence.
