GLOBAL SCALE UP
3
1. National nutrition systems of variable strength
2. Primarily framed as humanitarian activity…..but increasing shift from NGO standalone activity into government public health service
3. Foundation for long term service provision is present……but bottlenecks remain in application
4. Possible to scale up in a short period of time….requiring investments from a wide range of actors
5. Prevention first…..but treatment capacity for those that need it
GLOBAL SCALE UP
4
• Improved mapping data capture and technical support
• Investments in national capacity for nutrition information
• Review of availability, accessibility and coverage data– Geographic coverage: 43%– Treatment coverage: 7-13%

Areas for action remain- creating demand• CHWs systems and beyond?• Creating a constituency by engaging civil society
Areas for action remain- creating supply • Strengthening the continuum of care • Integration into health services (DHSS, ICCM, WHO/UNICEF Task
Force on Integration)• Costings for SAM/nutrition and integration into government budget
lines• Addressing vulnerable groups (including other age groups),
technical issues and evidence gaps, methods to identify differing subnational needs
EQUITABLE ACCESS
7
Areas for action: capacity to deliver• Critical role of supervision and investment in local
capacity at facility and community level • Integration across nutrition and health (e.g. IYCF and HIV)
Areas for action: Therapeutic supplies• Product specifications and reference standards limited,
undermining national registration• Local production capacity and formulations more complex
and expensive than anticipated• Supply chain management capacity• Sourcing routine medications
QUALITY OF SERVICES
8
Areas for action• Strengthen routine SAM management data by building off of
existing systems– Address methodology issues- Capacity for collection, analysis and
promotion of data use (supervision)– Innovation – rapid SMS and real time information– Strengthen Global SAM tool
• Review and consolidate definition of geographic coverage
• Improving treatment coverage methods – Strengthening the evidence base– Developing technical and operational framework for national treatment
coverage estimates– Integrate coverage into routine nutrition information systems
NUTRITION INFORMATION

Prevention first…
…but treatment is urgently needed for those who are malnourished
