Résumé

This National NCST Operational Plan is a 5-year nationwide sectoral document aiming at outlining an overarching implementation framework for improving access and coverage of quality nutrition services for adolescent (15-18 years) and adult (19 years and older), people living with HIV, and tuberculosis (TB) clients in Malawi. The Plan seeks to (i) guide the Government and its partners to effectively plan and implement activities; (ii) accelerate the institutionalization and integration of service delivery within the health system; and (ii) provide a monitoring and evaluation (M&E) framework for implementation. To achieve the overall goal, the following seven objectives are outlined (i) improve availability and access to NCST supplies and equipment; (ii) increase competence and responsiveness of NCST workforce; (iii) increase the quality and geographical coverage of NCST service delivery; (iv) improve monitoring, evaluation, and information management; (v) strengthen leadership and governance of NCST services; (vi) increase resource mobilization and financing of NCST services; and (vii) intensify NCST services to respond to emergency and humanitarian situations. Main interventions shall be directed to (i) enhance an effective and efficient NCST commodity management system to have a consistent supply of the necessary equipment, supplies, and food commodities; (ii) establish sufficient and safe storage of therapeutic and supplementary food commodities at central, district and facility levels; (iii) improve efficiency of delivery of therapeutic and supplementary food commodities by ensuring last mile delivery to the beneficiary.
