Somalia Final MIYCAN programmatic and Operational Guideline

Promoting optimal nutrition for pregnant, lactating women, infants, young children and adolescents is vital to prevent and reduce malnutrition in Somalia. The Federal Ministry of Health and Human Services (FMOH)  developed the first Maternal, Infant, Young Child and Adolescent Nutrition (MIYCAN) operational and programmatic guideline and training package. The document guides program implementation by improving the knowledge, skills, and competencies of health and nutrition workers and community health workers at all levels in Somalia. This will enhance the smooth integration of maternal & child nutrition interventions within the existing health and community services and across sectors and community linkages and referrals in Somalia
