According to UNICEF’s Food and Nutrition Situation, 860,000 children under five were estimated to be acutely malnourished in 2019. Within this context, SSGID designed it’s Nutrition programme to contribute to the improved nutrition status of children, adolescent girls and women in South Sudan by increasing the use of more equitable and better-quality nutrition services. Following are the highlights of our work in Nutrition sector:

• Nutrition education focusing on increasing dietary diversity through mothers/caregiver groups
• Training mothers on preparing nutrient dense meals from different crops and animal products widely available in the community.
• Training to mothers/caregivers on how to prevent the cause of common childhood illness and possible prevention and control mechanism
• Train mothers/caregivers on Maternal Infant and Young Child Nutrition (MIYCN)
• Child Soldiers demobilization
• Developed and distributed simplified and translated Information Education and Communication materials on maternal and young child feeding.
• Supplementary feeding programs for malnourished children
