The paper covers a nutrition project implemented by World Vision in Warrap state of South Sudan in the management of malnutrition and food insecurity. It outlines the general components of the community based management of acute malnutrition (CMAM) program in detail i.e. OTP, SC, SFP and community mobilization. It further covers the principal objectives of the project and the activities being carried out to meet those objectives. Capacity building of health staff, routine monitoring and supervision visits are some of the many activities carried out to meet project requirements.
The paper covers a section on WHO Sphere standards and how the project compares to these expected standards and attempts to give variance explanations.
The project has taken great strides in trying to improve the lives of the community and thus this paper documents the progress made to date and makes recommendations accordingly for future reference.
The month of April marked the start of the hunger gap and as part of the project requirements, a SMART nutrition survey was conducted and this is discussed briefly on the paper.
