Action Against Hunger teams have installed 71 solar mills in basic health units in the Guidimaka region of southern Mauritania.
These mills will enable the implementation of a set of income-generating activities that will contribute to the sustainability of basic health training, essential to ensure health coverage for the entire population, and to promote good food practices, while by reducing the workload of women.
This activity, funded by UNICEF and the Al Thani Foundation, and implemented in collaboration with the Mauritanian Directorate of Maternal and Child Health, is part of the iCCM+ (Integrated Community Case Management + SAM) approach, which consists of include the management of acute malnutrition in all the activities that community health workers carry out in their respective villages.
These community health workers, mostly women, are people chosen from within their community to provide basic health services and who successfully treat fevers, diarrhea or certain respiratory illnesses. The fact of entrusting them with the treatment of malnutrition within the communities makes it possible to widen the field of action and therefore to increase the number of sick children treated.
