Cmam Forum Information

The CMAM Forum was created in 2012 in response to increasing demand from practitioners and experts in the management of acute malnutrition to centralise on-going efforts worldwide to tackle the problem of acute malnutrition. The aim is to move from a 'patchwork' of initiatives to create an umbrella which brings different groups, initiatives and resources together, to facilitate progress in a coherent manner. Our ultimate goal is to support the scale-up of quality services for the management of acute malnutrition, through the collation of existing technical guidance, evidence and learning from the wider nutrition and health community. Specific objectives are to:1. Ensure relevant up-to-date resources on management of acute malnutrition are accessible to practitioners, policy makers and other key stakeholders. 2. Produce Technical Briefs (current thinking on priority themes), summaries of Frequently Asked Questions and Updates relating to acute malnutrition. 3. Synthesise learning of effective ways to disseminate AM-related resources through conducting specific country case studies.
