The action’s objective is to combat overall malnutrition in the NW by strengthening the capacity of the players (communities and state institutions) for taking action on the direct and underlying causes of malnutrition. The resilience aimed for in the project refers to the players’ capacity to prevent malnutrition when confronted with life’s shocks and challenges, to promote day-to-day health, and to mobilize individually and collectively. To achieve this, the health structure is central to the action, closest to the pockets of malnutrition and the recipients in its service area: in close collaboration among community players (which will be monitored by the VCHWs), and institutional players (deconcentrated and decentralized authorities). The action aims to decompartmentalize the sectors by adopting a holistic, integrated approach to health (in connection with IMCI, IMS, HSS) and the SAN. Lastly, the approach aims to ensure the continuity of the dynamics established, through gradual processes of empowerment, behaviour changes, and accountability.
