Abstract:

PCIMA Surge is a new approach applied in Mali to the management of severe acute malnutrition. It aims to increase the resilience of the health system so that it is able to provide quality services for the management of acute malnutrition at all times, especially during periods of high demand when the capacity to saving lives must be the most important without compromising the capacity and responsibility of government health actors. [1] The general objective of our study was to take stock of the implementation of the PCIMA Surge approach in the Kayes health district in 2019. The approach made it possible to mobilize nutrition stakeholders around the subject, to mobilize the sum of 8,072,074 FCFA at the community level, to improve the performance indicators of the PCIMA and to revive community activities.
At the end of the evaluation, the observation was that the surge approach remains a diagnostic and planning tool that contributes to strengthening the health system.
