Goal action plan

overage for the management of severe acute (SAM) and moderate (MAM) malnutrition remains limited. It is carried out at the level of 715 out of 1007 structures including 34 Nutritional Stabilization Units (USN), 386 Outpatient Therapeutic Program (PTA) and 295 Supplementary Nutrition Program (PNS). The "cascade" method will be prioritized both for the provision of services and for data collection. The capacities of statisticians and epidemiologists at central and departmental levels and data clerks will be strengthened to improve the completeness and timeliness of data.

At the same time, a situation room in each of the 10 departments and the establishment of sentinel sites at the level of health institutions will make it possible to monitor the program and the quality of care provided according to the trend provided by the analysis of the figures received. dropout as well as deaths will allow us to measure the performance of the program against the Sphere objectives.

From the application of DHIS2 at the community level, we will know how populations living in difficult-to-access areas benefit from the preventive and curative care available
