Cluster Objectives
1
Ensure adequate coverage and equitable access to key life-saving nutrition interventions in situations of acute need in a continuum of care, to reach the entire target population, mainly children under 2 and 5 years of age, in affected areas in an early and consistent manner, by improving early key nutrition actions, the continued availability of commodities and increasing the responsiveness of nutrition services in health facilities and in the community.
2
Adjust the nutrition response in humanitarian action to reach the population most in need of nutritional supplementation (inaccessible areas, displaced population, moderate acute malnourished children, including high risk moderate acute malnutrition (MAM), adolescents, pregnant and/or lactating women, infants, and young children, through rapid response mechanisms, simplified approaches, and adaptive care.
3
Improve the mechanisms for analysis and interpretation of the nutritional situation and response capacity, by improving assessment and analysis methodologies, maintaining, and improving a robust monitoring system. Furthermore, to promote models for prioritization and action in targeting and promoting better preparedness for nutritional crises.
4
Reduce the burden of child wasting by promoting a scalable and affordable package of preventive humanitarian interventions. This package involves inter-cluster collaboration across sectors such as Agriculture, Food, Health, and WASH, among others.
5
Increase community involvement in the first-resort nutrition response and propose gender transformative alternative solutions originating from the local community.
