Rationale for the Activity:
As part of the efforts to ensure that mothers who seek care at health facilities receive appropriate IYCF counselling, Save the Children trained health workers along with LGA Medical Officers of Health, Apex nurses of each LGA selected primary and secondary facilities in the selected wards in the 26 project focal LGAs in Lagos and Kaduna states
However, data has shown that pregnant women and mothers of children under 2 years default in completing the recommended number of visits to health facilities to receive antenatal and child welfare services thereby also missing out of IYCF services essential for child growth and development in the first 1000 days of the child’s life.
As result of this backdrop, Alive & Thrive project propose to conduct a Mother Listing data collection exercise from existing health facility and TBA records of currently pregnant women and mother of children under 2 years. The data will be used to track the defaulting pregnant women and caregivers of children under 2 years and encourage uptake of essential ANC, child welfare and IYCF services.
