The MICronutrient and Health (MICAH) Program contributed to improved quality of life of women and children in five African nations (Ethiopia, Ghana, Malawi, Sénégal and Tanzania) over a 10-year period between 1996 and 2005. The problem of micronutrient deficiencies (vitamin A, iron and iodine) was addressed through integrated strategies and direct interventions that resulted in measurable positive effects. Quantitative and qualitative program results affirm the contribution of MICAH’s achievements towards the Millennium Development Goals, and global nutrition and health targets.

The foundation for a self-sustaining nutrition and health infrastructure was laid, by empowering communities to take ownership for program activities within their grasp: exclusive breastfeeding, capacity building of community health workers in nutrition and health, establishment of household gardens and revolving funds, and latrine construction.
MICAH also provided education to local populations about the importance of health and nutrition. Thousands of community health workers and volunteers were trained while program staff were equipped with skills to monitor and evaluate the program, gathering valuable information to assess its impact.

ETHIOPIA
Supervision/monitoring visits were routinely made at all levels of Ethiopia’s MICAH projects.The program coordinating office and program partners conducted 86 visits to assess the implementation and progress of various initiatives.Throughout the year, activity reports and evaluation documents were reviewed, site visits made, and ongoing discussions held between MICAH staff and stakeholders. After every visit, copies of feedback reports were sent to the relevant ADPs and NGOs. At the project level, MICAH facilitators conducted joint field visits and reviews with frontline personnel such as government health workers, community health workers, volunteers and school teachers to ensure implementation of activities was proceeding according to plan.
GHANA
Monitoring of MICAH Ghana improved in several ways in Phase 2 as the program team worked closely with Ghana Health Service and community health volunteers. Increased effectiveness was best illustrated by the heightened accuracy of data for iodized salt consumption after changing the method from school-based to houseto-house surveys.The team reinforced this effort by testing the quality of salt in markets as well. To improve monitoring of compliance with iron supplementation, MICAH facilitators worked closely with community health volunteers to assess whether women and children were taking the supplements as prescribed.Throughout the program, monitoring information was shared with all stakeholders at quarterly district and sub-district meetings in an effort to improve implementation and build ownership.
MALAWI
Regular meetings were conducted with government ministry and partner staff to share feedback and resolve issues.Training was provided and follow-up maintained to improve the capacity of field agents and staff. Regular community visits, including meetings with women and local leaders, provided management staff an opportunity to ensure quality implementation. Specific issues were dealt with using results-based management. For example, to obtain a more accurate estimate of deworming coverage in Phase 2, the household listing register was introduced and utilized, to supplement data regarding the de-wormed child. As a result of this new system, household monitoring revealed the extent of infection and enabled appropriate follow-up.To monitor the quality of the flour fortification project, the Malawi Bureau of Standards (MBS) and Chancellor College labs analyzed premix produced at the Domasi Fortification Unit. Each test found the Domasi premix to meet all MBS requirements; recommended levels of iron were found in the flour, and flour samples were free from contaminants.

This project (Maziko) aims to benefit more than 236,000 women, girls and boys in two districts where stunting and malnutrition are widespread. Addressing under-five child stunting head-on, the project takes an integrated approach to preventing and treating malnutrition by addressing behaviour change in the areas of: feeding practices, agricultural production, water, sanitation and hygiene while also focusing on access to programs at the district and community level. The Maziko Project uses a model of behaviour change that has been proven to reach large numbers of households while also strengthening the community-based referral to health services.

The key to the success of these interventions is an early identification of severely malnourished children by trained and appropriately equipped frontline health workers. This allows treating effectively most of the children at home by a simple provision of therapeutic food and micronutrient supplements. To ensure sustainability of the results and to help reduce the number of children facing undernutrition in the long term, the project will also assist the Government of Ghana in the development and implementation of a strong and coherent national nutrition policy. Finally, a gender sensitive nutrition information and surveillance system will be developed in the 3 northern regions to enable the government and development partners to improve monitoring of nutrition programs, decision-making and timely response in the three northern regions.

The project aims to improve agriculture, water and land resources; create strategic reserves to protect the nutritional status of at-risk groups (including children under five, pregnant and lactating women and people living with HIV/AIDS); and support the rehabilitation and recovery of agricultural livelihoods. This project contributes to alleviating chronic food security amongst vulnerable groups, targeting and assisting poverty reduction in the most susceptible areas of northern Ghana.

Key project components include establishing a prenatal and neonatal home visit system for pregnant women and infants, and launching a malaria control program that prioritizes mothers and infants.
Specific activities include: distributing neonatal care kits; training community-based volunteers and local health professionals; providing mosquito nets for all village residents; conducting malaria control workshops; and supplying local clinics with rapid malaria test kits.
