This includes community mobilisation and sensitisation of community structures on project objectives, beneficiary’s selection criteria, targets, roles/responsibilities. 

To improve access to health and nutrition services, World Vision will coordinate with the Ministry of Public Health and work with communities to support access to hard-to-reach areas in the targeted areas through provision of two Mobile Health and Nutrition Teams (MHNTs) and two Family Health Houses (FHH).
