Help for malnourished refugees in Ethiopia and Sudan
Valid International is providing technical support to UNHCR for the roll out of Community-based Therapeutic Care (CTC) in refugee camps in parts of Ethiopia and Eastern Sudan.
Malnutrition is no stranger to refugees in Ethiopia and Eastern Sudan. Community-based care enables more malnourished children to be treated earlier on and helps to prevent deaths from severe acute malnutrition.
The implementation of CTC in refugee camps requires adjusting existing protocols. The experience gained provides a new perspective on the operation of CTC in the field.
