Description and results
Description
The project aims to improve the health and nutritional status of mothers, newborns, and children under the age of five. The project is designed to respond to the needs of mothers and children by promoting better use community health services, better household nutrition practices, and improved disease prevention and treatment measures with a focus on malaria, diarrhea, pneumonia, and mother-to-child transmission of HIV/AIDS. Specific activities include: training Ministry of Health workers in the improved design and delivery of maternal, newborn, and child health programs and services, and training health workers and community groups in the implementation of community education programs on nutrition, child feeding, and disease prevention. The project is expected to reach around 18,000 pregnant and lactating women and 159,000 children under five. World Vision Canada is working in partnership with the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare of Tanzania to implement this project. This project is part of Canada's Maternal, Newborn and Child Health commitment.
