Project Description
Children with SAM are frequently neglected until difficulties arise because Community-based Management of
Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) lacks an organized community component. In order to provide and complete facilitybased
SAM treatment in accordance with national protocol, poor families with SAM children who are qualified to
be admitted into healthcare facilities can be targeted for inclusion in the financial support program. This financial
aid is intended to encourage low-income families with SAM children under the age of five to admit and complete
SAM treatment at the designated facilities in accordance with national protocol. It serves as a "compensation to
wage loss, transportation, and other associated costs" during the facility-based SAM treatment.
