Information on MMS available - no active implementation
MMS is provided free to pregnant women, but the program relies heavily on donor funding, with no dedicated government funding. The national supply chain faces challenges, and there is a severe shortage of qualified health staff. Due to competing needs, funding for MMS programs is not prioritized. Many MMS programs are implemented as short-term interventions during emergencies, which limits their sustainability. Lessons learned include the importance of coordination among stakeholders, integrating MMS with other health services, and prepositioning MMS supplies in strategic locations. Despite challenges like funding constraints and weak nutrition data, consistent monitoring has improved service delivery and reporting.
