Innovative Individualized Case Management in Nutrition

English

UN-NUT001

Data continue to show a high number of children affected by malnutrition. Globally, 6.7 percent of all children under the age of five (45.4 million) are wasted on any given day. While this setback is down to many systemic complexities, one main challenge highlighted in the 2021 Global Nutrition Report is the need for granular nutrition data, which are crucial to progress tracking and monitoring. Exploring innovative alternatives for longitudinal case management has become a necessity to efficiently follow a beneficiary’s journey through the continuum of care (from referral to treatment and recovery) while generating timely data to improve the tracking of programme performance. The World Food Programme (WFP) has developed Conditional on Demand Assistance (CODA) as a solution to problems associated with case management, eligibility identification and the optimization of resources commonly identified in field implementation.
