The Zambia Nutrition Assessment, Counseling and Support (ZAMNACS) Program will be responsible for the promotion of good nutrition and to prevent malnutrition in adults and children enrolled in HIV/AIDS prevention, care and treatment programs and at-risk OVC clients. The secondary focus is to improve the anti-retroviral therapy (ART) and palliative care clients’ outcomes by providing NACS in these target populations including prevention of mother to child transmission (PMTCT) and OVC clients at clinical and community levels. This program with approximately $10M to $15M in funding over five years will provide overall training and show “proof of concept” for new interventions utilizing the NACS approach along with locally available commodities. It is expected that other programs will then use these concepts to improve coverage and will assure the capacity and delivery of both the constellation of nutrition services and nutrition product interventions in Zambia.
