Foreword
Nutrition is a priority of Yemen. Nutrition issues are the focus of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) four (to reduce child mortality) and five (to improve maternal mortality health), and constitute a considerable factor in the MDGs achievement. Nutrition is, by its nature, a cross cutting issue with many sectors involved in improving health, infant and young child feeding and care, and food security. These sectors are, therefore, involved in planning and implementing services and programmes that have an impact on nutrition. Nutrition is the subject of interest for many actors and donors who respond to frequent nutrition crises in the country. These crises completed the development of the communitybased management of acute malnutrition (CMAM) manual, which place more emphasis on protocols to treat acute malnutrition at the community level in Yemen.
