Envelop 2 - Improve Access to Comprehensive Nutrition and IYCF-E programs in NWS by continuing the deployment of Rapid Response Teams and scale-up of Integrated Nutrition Services in HFs and MBAs ltpgtltspangtQRCS aims with this project to ensure continuity
and increase the coverage of life-saving comprehensive nutrition services among
children under 5 (boys and girls) and PLWs. QRCS usually supported 8 RRTs for
the last three years and reported monthly on 4Ws in coordination with nutrition clusters,
UN agencies, health directorates, and local stakeholders in which targeted
areas are ranked as high severity according to the published HNO report as well as nutrition cluster reports in NWS.lt/spangtltbrgtlt/pgt

ltpgtIn this project 26 communities (including IDPs camps and
host communities in Idleb governorate and rural Aleppo) will be served with
quality comprehensive nutrition services through the resumed deployment of 8
Rapid Response Teams (RRTs), the establishment of 10 Outpatient Therapeutic Programs
(OTPs), and 3 Mother-Baby Areas (MBAs) with community outreach activities, effective
referrals mechanisms and adopt procedures to facilitate the access of people
with disabilities to the project services reaching 190,894 expected direct
beneficiaries including (68 % Female, 32 % Male, 45 % Child), with 7,400
disables people, 129,448 displaced population and 61,446 overburdened host
communities in the following districts in NWS Salqin, Zuf, Jabal AlZawia, and
Idleb.lt/pgt

and 2 (Area coordinators) conduct community outreach activities. They promote IYCF-E,
maternal nutrition, health, and Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) topics
using recommended materials and hygiene promotion items.lt/pgt
