The Guinea-Bissau UNCT joint programme “Promotion of a multi-level approach to child malnutrition” (2009-2012) aims to reduce child malnutrition and mortality by reinforcing and integrating existing efforts at various levels, in order to boost their results.

More specifically the programme will (i) reinforce the capacities of existing health and nutrition rehabilitation centres, (ii) build the capacity of communities to promote basic nutrition counselling and surveillance in the most vulnerable areas; (iii) develop nutrition activities at the school level as a complement to the existing school feeding programme and (iv) build the capacity of the Ministry of Health to effectively monitor nutritional activities.
