The meeting centered around a groundbreaking decision: to expand KASSEP's scope by integrating maternal nutrition into its surveillance system. This addition seeks to leverage traditional community structures, ensuring that the project not only addresses critical health issues but also aligns with local customs and practices for maximum impact.

At the heart of the discussions was a shared vision of utilizing evidence-based and sustainable solutions to tackle pressing public health challenges. The participants reaffirmed their commitment to improving maternal and child health outcomes, recognizing the profound impact of nutrition on early development and long-term health indicators.

“KASSEP’s efforts are not just about monitoring health metrics—they are about transforming lives. By focusing on maternal nutrition, we are investing in the future of our communities and ensuring healthier generations to come.”

As the project moves forward, stakeholders remain united in their commitment to driving transformative change. With the integration of maternal nutrition and the use of traditional structures, KASSEP is poised to set a benchmark for innovation and sustainability in healthcare systems.
