Guide to Maternal, Newborn and Child Health and Nutrition in Emergencies

This guide aims to:

• better define focus areas of response for direct humanitarian programming and advocacy in acute phase of an emergency
• build consistency around a discrete 'package' of effective MNCH and nutrition services delivered in an acute phase of a disaster
• provide a clear rationale for expanded approaches and interventions for more comprehensive MNCH and nutrition, which may require operational research, strategic training, collaborative partnerships and more stable situations.
