This investment, to The Power of Nutrition, will scale-up and institutionalize high-impact, evidence-based nutrition interventions nationwide in support of the Government of Ethiopia’s (GoE) National Nutrition Program (NNP) II. Through payment for results, this investment will incentivize health system performance in maternal and child health and nutrition and also directly support critical technical assistance and capacity building activities. It is estimated that this investment, as part of a package of strengthened maternal and child health and nutrition services, will contribute to reach approximately 13 million women and children. As well, the delivery of twice-yearly Vitamin A supplementation, 90+ IFA supplements in pregnancy, and education about improved nutrition care and feeding practices will be strengthened.
This intervention is being implemented in partnership with the Government of Ethiopia, Power of Nutrition and The World Bank. This project began in April 2017 and is being funded until August 2020.

Adequate infant and young child nutrition (IYCN) is crucial for survival and long-term health and well-being. Approximately 45% of deaths of children under five years of age can be attributed to malnutrition [1], and are often associated with inappropriate feeding practices during the first years of life [2]. The first two years of life provide a critical window of opportunity for ensuring children’s appropriate growth and development through optimal feeding. Many countries experience a sharp increase in the prevalence of malnutrition for this age group.
NI supports countries to implement their IYCN program in line with WHO/UNICEF recommended IYCF practices. This includes the timely initiation of breastfeeding, exclusive breastfeeding to the age of six months, introduction of solid, semi-solid and soft foods at 6 months of age and continued breastfeeding until 24 months of age, recommended minimum meal frequency and dietary diversity. NI also supports recommended practices such as responsive feeding, hand washing with clean water and soap, and safe food preparation and storage.
Some of NI’s support to IYCN programs includes a Micronutrient Powder (MNP) component to alleviate micronutrient malnutrition.
In Ethiopia, NI is supporting the nutrition department of the Federal and Regional ministries of health to ensure that the promotion of optimal breast feeding and complementary feeding among infant and young children age 0-23 months is well integrated into the government’s comprehensive community-based nutrition (CCBN) program. The objective is to increase the quality, reach and coverage of the IYCN package of interventions delivered by the Health Extension Workers (HEWs) to caregivers of children 0-23 months of age by using the existing government health extension program (HEP).

Pregnancy and the postnatal period are critical times for ensuring the health and wellbeing of women and their children. Anaemia during pregnancy is common and can have serious consequences for both mother and child, including increased risk of low birthweight and preterm birth, as well as maternal and perinatal mortality.[1&2] Iron deficiency is a major cause of anaemia among pregnant women.[3] Iron requirements increase substantially during pregnancy and it is difficult to meet these needs with food alone. Based on evidence of reduced risk of anaemia, iron deficiency and other adverse outcomes including having a low birthweight baby, WHO recommends daily iron and folic acid (IFA) supplementation throughout pregnancy.[4] This is in addition to a series of other recommendations for nutrition interventions as part of antenatal care for a positive pregnancy experience and other important maternal and child outcomes.[4]
Optimal care and feeding of newborns helps ensure babies survive and sets the stage for healthy growth and development. For example, initiating breastfeeding within the first hour of life, as recommended by WHO[5&6], increases the likelihood of exclusive breastfeeding and reduces the chance of newborn illness or death [7]. The newborn period, which is the first 28 days of life, is the most vulnerable time in a child’s life, and accounts for almost half (46%) of the total deaths in children under five years of age [8]. Fortunately, many of these deaths are preventable through evidence-informed, low-cost care, such as supporting mothers to start breastfeeding soon after birth, which can be delivered even in resource-limited settings.
Nutrition International works in collaboration with government and other partners to improve maternal and newborn health and nutrition (MNHN) through enhancing the provision, quality and integration of health and nutrition services and empowering women and their families to seek care and adopt healthy behaviours.
Nutrition International contributes to improving MNHN in Ethiopia by:
This work is in partnership with the Ethiopian Ministry of Health at federal and regional levels, the Pharmaceutical Fund Supply Agency, UNICEF and Emory University. This project includes national level technical assistance and supports implementation sub-nationally, in 200 woredas in 6 regions (in the two pastoralist regions of Afar (11 woredas) and Benishangul Gumuz (4 woredas) and the following four agrarian regions: Tigray region (16 woredas), Amahra region (45 woredas), Oromia region (64 woredas) and South Nation Nationality People (SNNP) region (60 woredas)). NI has supported MNHN programming in Ethiopia since 2011 and continues to do so.
Although this section describes MNHN, wherever possible, Nutrition International’s work in Ethiopia follows a comprehensive and integrated approach, with a strong focus on the first 1000 days, from pregnancy through 2 years of age.

NNP has many relevant components to reduce the magnitude of malnutrition in Ethiopia by reorienting the focus away from emergency and food security interventions and mainstreaming nutrition into community-based health and development programmes. Key nutrition activities of the NNP include:
1. Health Extension Programme (HEP): The core strategy for universal primary health service coverage. It aims to improve family health status through disease prevention and control at the community level
2. Promotion of Essential Nutrition Actions
3. Therapeutic Feeding Programme (TFP): Children with complicated SAM receive care through therapeutic feeding units, and children with uncomplicated SAM are managed in the community through Outpatient Therapeutic Programmes (OTP) at decentralized sites. There are more than 5000 OTP sites across 200 woredas.
4. Enhanced Outreach Strategy (EOS)/ Extended Enhanced Outreach Strategy (EEOS) and Targeted Supplementary Feeding (TSF).
5. Community-based Nutrition (CBN). The CBN was launched in 2008 and will expand to cover 35% of Ethiopia’s total population (228 woredas).

NNP has many relevant components to reduce the magnitude of malnutrition in Ethiopia by reorienting the focus away from emergency and food security interventions and mainstreaming nutrition into community-based health and development programmes. Key nutrition activities of the NNP include:
1. Health Extension Programme (HEP): The core strategy for universal primary health service coverage. It aims to improve family health status through disease prevention and control at the community level
2. Promotion of Essential Nutrition Actions
3. Therapeutic Feeding Programme (TFP): Children with complicated SAM receive care through therapeutic feeding units, and children with uncomplicated SAM are managed in the community through Outpatient Therapeutic Programmes (OTP) at decentralized sites. There are more than 5000 OTP sites across 200 woredas.
4. Enhanced Outreach Strategy (EOS)/ Extended Enhanced Outreach Strategy (EEOS) and Targeted Supplementary Feeding (TSF).
5. Community-based Nutrition (CBN). The CBN was launched in 2008 and will expand to cover 35% of Ethiopia’s total population (228 woredas). CBN is focused on children under two and uses monthly growth monitoring and promotion to involve families and community members in assessing health and nutrition-related problems, analysing causes of these problems, taking action and monitoring progress.
