Nakuru County Government has put into action a plan to revise nutritional programmes and policies to bolster the health and wellbeing of the population through the implementation of a Sh 2.55 billion County Nutrition Action Plan (CNAP).
Chief Officer for Public Health, Ms.
Joyce Ncece, said CNAP, which was developed with financial and technical support from Nutrition International, county administration, and nutrition stakeholders, was guiding the devolved unit in scaling up nutrition interventions. "The County's Department of Health has been implementing a Nutrition Financing Agreement since August 2021 in partnership with Nutrition International (NI).
As this phase of the agreement nears completion, we are glad that we have introduced nutritional community-based management, supplementation feeding programmes for pregnant women and capacity building of healthcare workers to offer nutrition services in all health facilities," stated the Chief Officer.
