Provision of  integrated treatment and prevention of acute malnutrition at community level for both host community and internally displaced in Galkaiyo district, Mudug Region, Somalia. Cesvi will implement an integrated health amp nutrition program in order to provide life-saving humanitarian assistance and improve the knowledge of target communities in Mudug (Galkayo internally displaced population (IDPs) camps, Alanley, Arafat, and Hiraan 2) towards safe health, nutrition and hygiene practices. The agency is already working in those 3 camps with health, WASH amp resilience programmes. The services will be provided in 3 already- set up Health Posts (HPs) and through 3 mobile clinics covering 12 internally displaced population (IDPs)  blocks. The agency will screen all children under five (U5) and Pregnant and Lactating Women (PLW) for malnutrition. Uncomplicated Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) cases will be enrolled into the Outpatients (OTP) programme (Severe Acute Malnutrition SAM+ will be referred to International Medical Corps (IMC) while Moderate Acute Malnutrition (MAM) cases will be referred to SOMALI DEVELOPMENT AND REHABILITATION ORGANISATION (SDRO).
The proposal embeds the following approaches:
1) Integration. The integration of effective management of acute malnutrition into the health (pillar of the Integrated Management of Acute Malnutrition (IMAM) strategy) is achieved through the delivering of both services in the same facilities and the collaboration between the staff. Children and Pregnant and Lactating Women (PLW) accessing health services are automatically screened for malnutrition. At the same time, all children in the nutrition programme are immunized and treated for illness while Pregnant and Lactating Women (PLW) will receive antenatal and postnatal care respectively. Integration is also achieved in the soft activities: the communities, in fact, receive a package of behavior change messaging that encompasses health amp nutrition education along with good hygiene practices and protection. The synergy created with other on-going actions (specifically related to resilience) will allow the agency to deliver a multi sectorial humanitarian assistance in targeted communities, particularly important in light of the quick deterioration of the situation. 
2) Bottom-up / Community-based approach: All the activities are tailor-made and designed in order to guarantee the direct participation of beneficiaries at all stages of the project. The complaint amp response mechanism is a permanent channel of communication between beneficiaries and the agency. Health and Nutrition services are provided with the direct engagement of communities. On this regards, community health workers (CHWs) play a pivotal role in tracing, screening and referral of malnutrition. They are also in charge of the behavior change communication (BCC). By offering case management at decentralized sites and incorporating community in the activities, this approach increases coverage, access and effectiveness of treatment for acute malnutrition (Community Management of acute Malnutrition-CMAM strategy).
It is expected that approximately 6,920 individuals will benefit from the intervention.
