The Joining Forces Alliance is deeply alarmed by the rising cases of rape and defilement across the country. We are particularly disturbed by the fact that these heinous crimes are being committed by individuals entrusted with the duty to protect children. We commend the Government’s swift action to shut down one facility in Lusaka allegedly perpetrating child abuse and arresting perpetrators.

World Vision surveyed 268 health facilities in low-resource settings in 9 countries to assess delivery of Essential Nutrition Actions to improve maternal and child health and nutrition outcomes.

This advocacy brief presents key findings and evidence-based recommendations to strengthen health systems for delivery of essential nutrition actions.

Empowered Worldview has led to statistically significant improvements in measures of hope, self-efficacy and self-reliance. It has also led to statistically significant improvements in rates of child well-being as measured by stunting. Empowered Worldview is likely to have a significant multiplier effect on child well-being as measured by stunting. The impact of EWV is greater in households where other indicators, addressed by other World Vision programs, are more positive. Factors that increase the positive impact of EWV on child well-being include the availability of food, access to health services, mothers’ own health and good child feeding practices.

World Vision's social accountability approach, Citizen Voice and Action (CVA), equips communities to hold their own governments accountable for the promises they make. CVA works by educating citizens about their rights and equipping them to advocate for improvements to basic services. World Vision Malawi celebrates impact through the booklet.
