Nutri-Salud
Nutri-Salud was one of USAID/Guatemala’s flagship projects to support two priority areas of the US Government’s Global Health and Feed the Future Initiatives: (1) improving access to quality health services in Guatemala, with an emphasis on reducing inequitable health outcomes among rural and indigenous populations and; (2) preventing and treating chronic malnutrition and in children under two years of age. TMG provided technical leadership for the project’s SBCC program, including leading development of the project’s SBCC strategy, and contributed expertise to activities aimed specifically at preventing chronic malnutrition. TMG also led technical assistance to the Ministry of Health in implementing an integrated SBCC program for families with a member in the first 1,000 Days (pregnancy – the child’s first 2 years) using the Wheel of Practices for Better Living tool. Based on the Mayan calendar, the tool allows each family to tailor their behavior change goals to their situation.
