USAID Advancing Nutrition is holding a webinar to discuss the different strategies experts have to address gaps in nutrition services. Packages to address the gaps — planning and implementation guidance, training materials, and job aids – exist, but often are fragmented.
USAID Advancing Nutrition conducted a review of the most-used packages, to help governments and non-governmental organizations compare the content of program packages; combine, adapt, or harmonize them as needed; and, ultimately, to strengthen and expand nutrition-related services. During this webinar, speakers will share this package review, and dive deeper into the MAMI, IMAM, NACS and C-IYCF packages. They’ll take a look at how the packages have been adapted or adopted, how nutrition has been strengthened within the packages, and how these packages can be harmonized with country guidelines.
Speakers include:
Sascha Lamstein, MS, PhD, is a Senior Technical Advisor with the USAID Advancing Nutrition project.
Kelsey Grey, MSc, is a MAMI Specialist with ENN responsible for managing the update of the MAMI Tool (pathway of care), a key programming resource to identify and manage at-risk mothers and infants under six months of age (MAMI).
Marko Kerac, MBBS, DTM&H, MPH, PhD, RNutr., is a Clinical Associate Professor and Program Director for the Nutrition for Global Health Masters of Science at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
Laura Kiige, MSc, is a nutrition specialist working with UNICEF Kenya’s country office.
Ezekiel Mupere, MBChB, MMed, MS., PhD, is a pediatrician and medical epidemiologist and the head of the Department of Pediatrics and Child Health and a senior lecturer at Makerere University.
The online event is 23 July, 9-10 a.m. Eastern Time.
