Abstract

Ethiopia has one of the highest child malnutrition rates in the world. Aim: to reduce the burden of Severe Acute Malnutrition among under fives in Oromiya Region of Ethiopia. Method: a quantitative and qualitative design to assess the U5 with SAM using a community based nutrition intervention. To determine the KAP of mothers and provide health education. The finding of this study would be used to scale up nutritional intervention in other parts of the country. The study hopes to develop policies to address nutritional problems in Ethiopia.

Background-global

• Every year 3 million lives are loss due to undernutrition.

(UNICEF, 2012) • Undernutrition remains a major cause of disability and mortality.

(World Bank 2010) • It is the top cause of global burden of disease underlying 53% of deaths in children under five years.

(Medhin et al. 2010)

5

Background-Africa

• An estimated 200 million people (children and adults), are malnourished.

(FAO 2003) • More than 1/3 African children U-5 are stunted with physical and cognitive challenges.

(Benson & Shekar2006) Child Malnutrition in Africa Under five mortality rate worldwide

Background- Ethiopia

Map of Ethiopia

• LEB m/f 62/65 • POD U-5 68/1000 • POD (15-60yrs) m/f 250/1000,212/1000 • Total expenditure on health per capita (Intl $) 44 • Total expenditure on health as % of GDP 3.8

U5M in Ethiopia

The 6th worst country(88) in terms of nutritional outcomes worldwid

( Ethiopia ) (The Global Hunger Index 2008) •

U-5 children

underweight:34.4%(Oromiya) •

In 2013, 44% of the children U-5 were stunted with a regional differences; Amhara (52%), Tigray (51%), Addis Ababa (22%) , Gambella (27%)

(Gezae & Regassa, 2013)

The cause of U5M in south Africa

Malnutrition is a major underlying and preventable factor in child deaths under the age of five .

Current evidence

CTC (community-based therapeutic care) was found to be relatively more cost effective for severe acute malnutrition children in Sidama.(Asayehegn et al,2012) • The culturally appropriate nutrition Education package based on the nutrition triangle model effectively prevented growth faltering and malnutrition among young children.( Swapan etal.2007) • Community-based Health Planning and Services(CHPS) compound in Ghana is very successful to reduce health inequalities and promote equity of health

What is SAM?

Severe acute malnutrition is defined by a very low weight for height (below -3z scores of the median WHO growth standards), by visible severe wasting, or by the presence of nutritional oedema. Source:WHO:http://www.who.int/nutrition/topics/malnutrition/en/

12

Severe Acute Malnutrition Screening tool

weight-for-height: WHO and UNICEF recommend the use of a cut-off for weight-forheight of below -3 standard deviations

(SD)

of the WHO standards to identify infants and children as having SAM.

Reason

: 1.A highly elevated risk of death.

2.Faster recovery.

3.In a well-nourished population, there are virtually no children below -3 SD (<1%).

Aims and Objectives

OBJECTIVES

Baseline •To assess the number of U-5 •To determine the KAP of

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVE

Aims:To reduce the burden of severe acute malnutritionn •Identify SAM among 6-59months •To determine the KAP of mothers towards mothers on child nutrition •To identify nutritional policies in the region child nutrition Implementation •To implement community based nutrition intervention among U-5 •To provide health education on child nutrition to mothers •To provide RUTF to SAM children •To train CHN & CHV to monitor and distribute administration of RUTF •To measure the effect of the treatment of RUTF among U-5 •To improve the mothers’knowledge on child nutrition Evaluation •To evaluate the effects of community-based nutrition intervention •To compare the nutrition status of SAM U-5 before and after the CBNI •To examine KAP of mothers after HE •To determine effects of nutritional policy

14

Hypotheses

Hypotheses1

Nutrition condition of Children(6-59months) with SAM will improve after the RUTF intervention.

Hypotheses2

KAP of mothers will improve after health education.

Intervention Community-based nutrition intervention

The community-based approach involves timely detection of severe acute malnutrition in the community and provision of therapeutic foods or other nutrient-dense foods at home.
