Alert is a biannual magazine published by Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF USA) that features ground reporting from our work around the world. This article appears in the Winter 2024 issue (Vol. 25, no. 2), The Year in Photos. In 2024, malnutrition levels reached a crisis point in several of the countries where Doctors Without Borders/ Médecins Sans Frontières(MSF) works. These emergencies were triggered by multiple factors, including lack of access to nutritious food and the spread of disease amid war, displacement, and climate change. Malnutrition has disastrous effects on health. It weakens the immune system, making people more likely to develop severe or even fatal cases of diseases they might otherwise survive. Many diseases also increase the risk of malnutrition. Children are especially vulnerable. MSF treats children with malnutrition in our inpatient and outpatient therapeutic feeding centers around the world, including with ready-to-use therapeutic foods like Plumpy’Nut, a fortified and sweetened peanut paste. Here are three places where MSF is working right now to tackle malnutrition and its serious consequences.

Laboratory tests are being conducted to determine the cause. The WHO experts are joining the National Rapid Response Team and are on their way to Panzi. The team comprises epidemiologists, clinicians, laboratory technicians and infection prevention and control, and risk communication experts. An initial local WHO team has been supporting the health authorities in Kwango since the end of November to reinforce disease surveillance and identify cases. The experts being deployed are also delivering essential medicines, diagnostic and sample collection kits to help rapidly analyse and determine the cause of the illness. The team will focus on strengthening response measures such as epidemiological investigation and collection of samples for testing, active case finding, treatment and public awareness activities. The team will also work with community leaders to support disease surveillance and promote measures to prevent infection and to identify and report further cases. #GlobalHealth #PublicHealth #DiseasePrevention #HealthcareAccess #RemoteHealthcare #WHO #HealthInnovation #CommunityHealth #DiseaseDiagnosis #HealthForAll #SustainableDevelopment #GlobalPartnerships #DemocraticRepublicOfCongo #HealthEquity #RuralHealth

Cette deuxième conférence de l’ASPL a réuni 120 participants techniques des pays membres et non-membres de la CEDEAO, ainsi que des partenaires de diverses organisations internationales. Le succès de cet événement qui s'est tenu du 21 au 23 mai 2024, à Dakar, a réaffirmé l'engagement des États membres et non-membres de la CEDEAO de faire avancer les programmes d’ASPL. Coorganisée par le Programme Alimentaire Mondial (PAM) et soutenue par des institutions f inancières internationales (IFI) de premier plan telles que la Banque Islamique de Développement (BID), la Banque Africaine de Développement (BAD) et la Banque Mondiale, la conférence a fourni une plate-forme pour aligner les engagements nationaux sur les mécanismes de financement innovants et les réformes législatives.

𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀 • Enabled households to cover their food needs for two months, enabling them to consume three meals a day. • Strengthened local food supply chains thanks to the inclusion of fresh, locally grown produce in the food baskets, enhancing both their availability and nutritional value. • Improved livelihoods, with 38 small-scale producers earning an average of USD 260 each and 13 warehouse operators generating an additional USD 50 each.

While countries and communities continue to pay the price of climate change with their lives, livelihoods, homes, and children’s futures, provision of finance from those countries that got wealthy based on a fossil fuel economy, while failing to transition quickly enough, is fundamental to global cooperation, limiting global temperature rise to 1.5°C, and to delivering climate justice.
