Commitment description

The French Muskoka Fund was created in June 2010 to help reduce maternal, newborn, infant and child mortality by strengthening national health systems. One of its 12 programs is devoted to mother and child nutrition and aims at fostering synergies between maternal, newborn and child health interventions and nutrition. The French Muskoka Fund focuses on health facilities, that is why its actions with nutrition focus on implementing a minimum package of nutrition-specific interventions in health facilities and communities (detection and management of malnutrition) and including the detection of malnutrition and promotion of optimal feeding practices for infants and young children in maternal, newborn and child health practice (such as brestfeeding, prevention of anemia in pregnant women, Vitamin A supplementation in children aged 6 to 59 months). The main objective is to reduce the rate of chronic malnutrition in children aged 24 to 59 months.
