10 Years of Nutrition Programming in the Kasai

Ten years of nutrition programming in Kasai province began with the ASSP (Accès aux Soins de Santé Primaires (Access to Primary Health Care)) project, funded by United Kingdom’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and led by IMA World Health (IMA), that ran from 2013 – 2019. Both follow-on projects, ASSR (Appui au Système de Santé en RDC (Support for Health Systems in DRC)) (2019 - 2022) and SEMI (Services Essentiels de Santé Maternelle et Infantile (Essential Services for Maternal and Child Health)) (2022 - 2024), continued to build on the experiences and lessons learned in previous years of nutrition programming. In partnership with FCDO, IMA assisted communities throughout Kasai to identify, treat, and prevent malnutrition in children under 5 years of age. Thousands of children are alive and better off today because of FCDO’s support.
