Just wrapped up at the UNOCHA Main Hall 🤝

The Rev Hon Mathiang Deang Foundation [MDF] team attended today’s Nutrition Cluster meeting where partners came together to review progress and align on next steps for communities across Northern Bahr el Ghazal and beyond.

Key updates shared:
1. 11+1 County Nutrition Scale-Up Response Plan [NCCT] – Progress on reaching vulnerable counties with lifesaving nutrition interventions and gaps we still need to close.
2. SMART Survey Updates for the 11+1 Priority NTIWG – Latest data on malnutrition trends to guide targeted response and resource allocation.
3. MIYCN Strategy Partner Orientation [MPTWG] – Strengthening how we support Maternal, Infant and Young Child Nutrition at household and facility level.

For MDF, what matters next is turning these plans into action on the ground:
- We welcome the UNICEF preparedness plan for Ebola, especially the guidance for protecting breastfeeding mothers and infants during outbreaks.
- We support the Ministry of Health’s Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative and will work to expand it in facilities we support.
- We’re ready to roll out targeted awareness training for doctors, nurses, Boma Health Workers, and father-to-father support groups so that correct nutrition and infant feeding practices reach every household.

As an active member of the FSL, Nutrition, and Health clusters, MDF is committed to linking policy, data, and community action so that no mother or child is left behind.

Grateful to UNOCHA and the Nutrition Cluster partners for the coordination and space to collaborate.

The Rev Hon Mathiang Deang Foundation [MDF] team was proud to take part in today’s workshop hosted by the International Rescue Committee [IRC] on the Community-Based Maternal born Care Program.

This wasn’t just another training — it was a deep dive into real data and real impact. IRC presented a full report based on field findings gathered across Aweil, Northern Bahr el Ghazal, showing how the training of Boma Health Care Workers is directly improving outcomes for mothers and newborns at the community level.[BCHWs]

*What stood out for us:
1. *Evidence in action: The report showed measurable progress in early detection, referrals, and follow-up care since BCHWs were trained
2. Community ownership: BCHWs are now the first line of trust for mothers, bringing life-saving knowledge right to the doorstep
3. Next steps: Stronger coordination between communities, health facilities, and partners to close the remaining gaps

We leave inspired and ready to act. At MDF, we’re committed to using these insights to strengthen our own health programs and ensure no mother or newborn is left behind in Aweil and beyond.

Huge thanks to IRC for leading this work and for giving us a seat at the table to learn, share, and collaborate.
