Goal Zimbabwe has partnered the Health and Child Care ministry in launching a lifesaving nutrition programme set to benefit a quarter of a million children under the age of five over the next 12 months.
The project will also provide food assistance to households with confirmed cases of malnourished children.
Gabriella Prandini, GOAL Zimbabwe Country Director said the project will go a long way in ensuring vulnerable households with children under five are supported with screening and also treated for malnutrition while providing food rations to enable them to have minimum acceptable diets.
"We will support the Ministry of Health and Child Care in strengthening early case identification of acute malnutrition and administer life-saving treatment for children.
GOAL has been implementing nutrition emergency interventions and supported the integration of CMAM with the Ministry of Health and Child Care services from since 2009.
