Cooperation Agreement (PCA) with UNICEF and Field level agreement (FLA) with
WFP through which consistent flow of nutrition supplies for SAM and MAM is
ensured. The project is designed in a way that the nutrition activities will be
integrated with the lt/spangtltspan lang="EN-US"gtChild

through close coordination and joint programming with other Partners for a more
holistic approach and greater impact. In addition, lt/spangtltspan lang="EN-US"gtSC lt/spangtltspan lang="en-SS"gtwill continuously monitor the nutrition status of the population
and the nutrition response through the routine collection and analysis of
nutrition program data, mass Mid upper arm circumference (MUAC) screening and
periodic SMART surveys funded by other donors. ltspan style="" lang="EN-US"gtThe proposed project will be implemented
