Documentation of Promising Practices in Implementing Nutrition
Care and Support Programs for PLWHA in Kenya
--------------------------------------------------------------
Dear colleagues,
The Regional Centre for Quality Health Care and Food And Nutri-
tion Technical Assistance Project (FANTA) with support from
USAID/REDSO is mapping out locations that provide nutrition care
and support of PLWHA and the kind of activities carried out in
Kenya.
A web based GIS map showing the location of programs and the or-
ganisations implementing them will be created.
It is important for those NGOs doing this kind of work to be in-
cluded in this WEB PAGE and map in order to gain visibility.
To have information from your organization included please fill
the attached form and send to SOMA-Net which is coordinating the
activity before 20th November.
The form is very simple and should take less than 15 minutes.
Hoping to hear from you,
All the best
Anne M. Pertet, PhD.
