The
DPEM assessments done by MOH in 2014 have found that 30% of districts have
carried out less than 50% of their coordination and planning activities. In
discussions with CRS in July 2016, health officials in several target districts
stated that their district had not updated or implemented their respective DPEM
plans due to insufficient funds, limited trained staff and knowledge of
essential nutrition actions. Planning and coordination challenges include
creating committees and convening regular meetings on DPEM implementation and
follow up.
