Kevin PQ Phelan Nutrition Referent
ALIMA ndash the Alliance for International Medical Action
APRIL 2017
The Alliance for International Medical Action
-In 2011 ALIMA began studying the feasibility of trainingmothers to use mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC)
-We were responding to two recurring operationalmedical issues
1 Late presentation (resulting in more complications) 2 Low program coverage (often lt50)

MUAC II Conclusions
Making mothers the focal point of MUAC screening strategies is feasible at scaleand should be included in regular CMAM programming
Family MUAC screening strategies will be most efficient in MUAC-based programs integrating SAMMAM (eg better coverage Maust et al in Sierra Leone)
