This project focuses on addressing challenges in measurement of severe acute malnutrition by developing a simplified, standard measurement, MUAC bracelet. This aimed to be a highly sensitive and easy-to-use product that will require minimal training by mothers and primary caregivers with low levels of literacy. MUAC measurement is the most common form of anthropometric measurement used at community level for the detection of SAM and is considered to be one of the best proxy indicators for mortality in children aged between 6 to 59 months at community level.
The final project report provides information on the methodology, activities, outputs, impact and dissemination of learning.
