Malawi AFIKEPO PROGRAMME
Afikepo is a EU funded programme designed in line with the EU global Action Plan on Nutrition (APN) launched in 2014 and the holistic ‘Four pillars approach’ as adopted by the Malawi National Nutrition Committee (NNC) in 2015. The pillars are aimed at improving coherence and complementarity of support to the nutrition sector for greater sustainable impact: 1) Agriculture for nutrition security and improved maternal, infant and young child feeding and care practices; 2) Primary health care, therapeutic care, support and treatment; 3) Integration of behavioural change and communication for optimal maternal and young child feeding and care (knowledge, attitude and practices) among communities, learners, professional and frontline workers through nutrition education; and 4) Governance, human capacity building, research, monitoring and evaluation and fortification.
Save the Children, in partnership with Civil Society Agriculture Network (CISANET) are implementing activities under pillar four. Under this pillar, Save the Children is enhancing and sustaining nutrition security through advocacy, awareness raising and capacity building of stakeholders at national level and in10 Afikepo districts.
Save the Children is working to achieve the following key outcomes: a) ensuring nutrition is an integral part of national and 10 Afikepo district development policies and priorities; Malawi Growth and Development Strategy (MGDS); and at least 3 relevant sectoral policies and programmes (Agriculture, Health, Education, Social Protection); and, financial and human resources for nutrition outcomes at national and district levels are planned and budgeted for; and b) ensure Malawi and relevant global nutrition evidence (including at least 3 research topics developed under Afikepo research) is gathered, stored, collated, managed, analyzed, transformed, and disseminated to inform national policies and strategic priorities for decision makers and reflected in national and district level policies and plans.
