The Cost of Managing Moderate Wasting Using Local Foods
Objective: Management of moderate wasting (MW) is an important component of country-level strategies to address wasting, given high caseloads and susceptibility to illness and death. However, many countries experience challenges in providing targeted supplementary feeding programmes with specially formulated foods involved in managing MW. Some implementing agencies have developed a community-based programme using locally available foods (LF) for …
Costs and cost-effectiveness of three point-of-use water treatment technologies added to community-based treatment of severe acute malnutrition in Sindh Province, Pakistan
BACKGROUND: Severe acute malnutrition (SAM) is a major global public health concern. Despite the cost-effectiveness of treatment, ministries of health are often unable to commit the required funds which limits service coverage. OBJECTIVE: A randomised controlled trial was conducted in Sindh Province, Pakistan, to assess whether adding a point of use water treatment to the treatment of SAM without complications improved its cost-effectiveness. Thr…

Disability-adjusted life years for severe acute malnutrition
Objective: Reducing the burden of childhood severe acute malnutrition (SAM) is key to improving global child health outcomes. Assessing cost-effectiveness of nutrition interventions remains an important evidence gap. Disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) are a common indicator used in cost-effectiveness analyses. DALYs were established by the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study. Recent iterations of the GBD have changed the methods used to calc…
Assessing the cost-effectiveness of interventions within a humanitarian organisation
Cost-effectiveness analysis is increasingly relevant in humanitarian action. The cost of response has increased exponentially in the past decade, alongside concurrent donor budget restrictions. However, there remains limited comprehension and application of these methods in this field. This paper documents methods developed for use within Action Against Hunger, an international humanitarian organisation, in response to a lack of understanding of …
Donor requests for economic analysis of humanitarian field programmes
Humanitarian organisations respond to increasing donor requests to assess economic aspects of their programmes, including cost-effectiveness. This article presents results from a survey of humanitarian agency staff and donor agencies, investigating such requests. Findings indicate a need for clear guidelines and capacity building in these economic assessments, expressed by both humanitarian staff and donor agencies themselves. While improving eff…

Barriers to access for severe acute malnutrition treatment services in Pakistan and Ethiopia
Objective To understand and compare the primary barriers households face when accessing treatment for cases of childhood severe acute malnutrition (SAM) in different cultural settings with different types of implementing agencies. Design The study presents a comparative qualitative analysis of two SAM treatment services, selected to include: (i) one programme implemented by a non-governmental organization and one by a Ministry of Health; and (ii)…
Sometimes they fail to keep their faith in us’
Community health workers (CHWs) have strong potential to extend health and nutrition services to underserved populations. However, CHWs face complex challenges when working within weak health systems and among communities with limited abilities to access and utilise CHW services. It is crucial to understand these challenges to improve programme support mechanisms. This study describes the results of qualitative investigations into CHW perceptions…
Cost-effectiveness of the community-based management of severe acute malnutrition by community health workers in southern Bangladesh
This study assessed the cost-effectiveness of adding the community-based management of severe acute malnutrition (CMAM) to a community-based health and nutrition programme delivered by community health workers (CHWs) in southern Bangladesh. The cost-effectiveness of this model of treatment for severe acute malnutrition (SAM) was compared with the cost-effectiveness of the 'standard of care' for SAM (i.e. inpatient treatment), augmented with commu…
Quality of care for severe acute malnutrition delivered by community health workers in southern Bangladesh
This study assessed the quality of care provided by community health workers (CHWs) in managing cases of severe acute malnutrition (SAM) according to a treatment algorithm. A mixed methods approach was employed to provide perspectives on different aspects of quality of care, including technical competence and acceptability to caretakers. CHWs screened children at community level using a mid-upper arm circumference measurement, and treated cases w…
