🆕 New Blog Post: Breakthrough ACTION partners with five private sector companies to address chronic malnutrition among rural families in #Guatemala. 🇬🇹 👉 Read the full story: https://lnkd.in/gkYRr4h2 #BreakthroughACTION | USAID
🆕 🇬🇹 ¡Protectoras Unidas! 💪 A new campaign co-developed and co-financed by the CCP-led Breakthrough ACTION Guatemala project and five private sector companies aims to reduce chronic malnutrition in the country. Using in-person coversations, radio and social media in one phase of the campaign, CCP engaged rural mothers and grandmothers in supporting their children’s health in their first 1,000 days of life—a critical developmental period. The result? 📈 83% of mothers participating in the project considered themselves to be Protectoras Unidas after the campaign and reported how they identified with the campaign's key messages, suggesting the strategy was effective. “What resonates with mothers and grandmothers is that this concept makes them feel like they are working together toward a common goal, makes them feel they have the power to help their children be healthier with every action they made in a normal day,” says CCP’s Ana Esquivel, senior private sector engagement officer at Breakthrough ACTION in Guatemala.

Breakthrough ACTION Oyo State is committed to educating patent medicine vendours (PMVs) about tuberculosis (TB) to enhance their role in community health. They provide training to ensure PMVs understand TB symptoms and the importance of referring individuals who show signs of the disease to proper healthcare facilities. It's crucial to note that PMVs should not sell TB medications themselves but should focus on guiding people to seek appropriate treatment. Additionally, Breakthrough ACTION Oyo State offers incentives to PMVs who successfully refer individuals with TB symptoms. These incentives are designed to encourage active participation and ensure that more people receive the necessary care and treatment. This collaborative approach helps strengthen the fight against TB and supports better health outcomes in communities. This we did at #Koloko community in #IbadanNorthEast.
