Grants and Contributions

Project activities include: (1) distributing emergency food assistance; (2) providing cash-based transfers to most vulnerable households; (3) treating moderate and acute malnutrition for children under five, including pregnant and lactating women; and (4) improving delivery of essential supplies, including for the cholera response.

Designing molecules with desired properties in drug, vaccine, and materials
discovery is a challenge. Accurately identifying lead candidate molecules
early on can significantly reduce the time and cost involved.

Project activities include: (1) providing at least 3,810 infants and pregnant and lactating women with moderate and severe acute malnutrition treatments; (2) providing at least 2,010 households with malnutrition screening tools; (3) providing at least 40,200 SRH consultations; and (4) providing at least 12,186 women and girls access to SRH services.

P001049001: This project seeks to contribute to the reduction of maternal and child mortality by improving the delivery and utilization of essential and nutrition related health services. Many women and children are at high risk of malnutrition and mortality in Guatemala and Kenya where high rates for chronic malnutrition and infant mortality, as well as high numbers of deaths due to complications from child birth prevailed over the last years.

The project focuses on: (1) increasing the effectiveness of community referral systems; (2) increasing awareness of existing health services; and (3) strengthening the organizational management skills of local level health service providers. It works towards improving maternal, adolescent, child and infant nutrition through the promotion of local feeding and care practices, nutritious foods and supplements as well as by looking into wider nutrition security issues related to access to food and income. Lastly, the project strengthens local nutrition related health information systems through improved management of data collection and dissemination, and utilization of data for local, national and global decision-making. It is estimated that more than 1.3 million people will benefit directly, and more than 880,000 people indirectly, from activities led in the Chiquimula Department of Guatemala and five counties in Kenya (West Pokot, Trans-Nzoia, Busia, Kakamega, and Bungoma).

The project is implemented by Action Against Hunger Canada in Kenya in collaboration with Action Against Hunger Kenya, Helen Keller International, and the Ministry of Health; and in Guatemala with Action Against Hunger Guatemala, Médicos del Mundo España en Guatemala, Asociación de Investigación y Estudios Sociales, and local government organizations.

P001049002: In order to respond to the COVID-19 crisis, the Project will support national COVID-19 preparedness and response activities in Kenya and Guatemala.
The project focuses on: (1) infection prevention control; (2) dissemination of messages on prevention of the spread of COVID-19; (3) training health staff, midwives, and community volunteers; (4) provision of inputs for handwashing solutions and water storage; (5) community-level empowerment for mothers and caregivers; (6) sensitization of healthcare workers on Maternal, Infant and Young Child Nutrition; (7) supporting the inclusion of emergency prevention and response actions related to COVID-19.
