New vision is a legitimate product of extensive reflections and spiritual revelations. A re-birth. A time for fresh hopes, novel dreams, greater impetus for self discipline and heightened energies.

New research findings by the IGAD Centre of Excellence in Nutrition (ICEN) in collaboration with Kenya Medical Training College (@Kmtc_official) shows that improving tolerance to iron & folic acid supplementation (#IFAS), is key to better maternal & fetal health.

The findings have important policy and programme implications for strengthening ANC counselling, improving adherence, and enhancing maternal nutrition outcomes.

Building resilient health systems is also an investment in young people.

It requires shared knowledge, coordinated action and continuous learning across borders.

This publication is a great contribution to that effort.

Under the IGAD #PREPARE Initiative, we are pleased to share our latest peer-reviewed paper published in the East Africa medical Journal (EAMJ):

"𝑲𝒆𝒚 𝑳𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒐𝒏𝒔 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑷𝒓𝒆𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒚 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑬𝒂𝒓𝒍𝒚 𝑰𝒎𝒑𝒍𝒆𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑷𝒉𝒂𝒔𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒂 𝑹𝒆𝒈𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒍 𝑴𝒑𝒐𝒙 𝑹𝒆𝒔𝒑𝒐𝒏𝒔𝒆 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏 𝒂 𝑴𝒖𝒍𝒕𝒊-𝑺𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒂𝒍 𝑷𝑹𝑬𝑷𝑨𝑹𝑬 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒋𝒆𝒄𝒕 𝑭𝒓𝒂𝒎𝒆𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒌."

🌟The paper documents the chronology of the regional mpox response and presents seven critical lessons from the PREPARE Project's early implementation.

🌟It highlights how regional collaboration, One Health approaches, cross-border coordination, operational research, and policy harmonization can strengthen preparedness and response to pandemics and other public health emergencies across the IGAD region.

At the Regional Partners Learning & Information Sharing Forum, held yesterday in Nairobi, Kenya, Dr. @FatumaIAdan on behalf of IGAD Executive Secretary @DrWorkneh, called for urgent, coordinated action to tackle child wasting affecting 4.8M children across the region.

She emphasized the need for stronger cross-border coordination, integrated multisectoral approaches, and aligned partner support to tackle root causes—climate shocks, conflict, food insecurity, and limited access to services.

The event brought together HE Caitríona Ingoldsby @IrlAmbKenya, Dr Ali Mohamud - Mandera County Deputy Governor, The Ministries of Health, Agriculture & Natural Resources, Government of Kenya, Concern Worldwide, UN agencies (@FAOKenya, @UNICEFKenya, @WHOKenya, @UNHCR_Kenya), @EUinKenya, and other development partners.

📑Research Paper: The Importance and Value of Preventing Acute Malnutrition (Wasting) Among Children

The IGAD Centre of Excellence in Nutrition (ICEN), in collaboration with research partners, has demonstrated the importance and value of preventing acute malnutrition (wasting) among children.

While treatment of wasting among under 5-year-olds is essential for reducing mortality, promoting survival, and supporting weight recovery, the study indicates that such recovery may carry potential long-term health costs.

ICEN is currently implementing a multisectoral programme aimed at preventing childhood wasting in the #Mandera Cluster, where it is contributing to strengthened cross-border learning and enhanced coordination among the participating countries.
