Terms of Reference
This document outlines the Terms of Reference for the evaluation of ACF's "Emergency Intervention in Nutrition and Mental Health" programme implemented after the 2010 earthquake in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The general objective of this ACF programme was to prevent mortality among the earthquake-affected population. For this purpose, the programme aimed to provide psychological and/or nutritional support to young children, as well as pregnant and lactating women and people in distress. This entailed the following activities:
- Coordination with partners and advocacy for breastfeeding promotion, as well as adequate use of infant formula with respect to the “International Code on the Marketing of Breast Milk Substitutes”
- Installation of “baby friendly tents” providing support to breastfeeding mothers and infants feeding (using RUIF for infants who cannot be breastfed), and psychological support for children and caretakers
- Sensitisation about breastfeeding and psychosocial issues in the “baby friendly tents”, and at gathering points of earthquake affected people (sensitisation of key persons, diffusion of radio messages)
