Effective nutrition interventions exist to prevent and manage mother and child malnutrition. Scaling up of such interventions is less successful and influenced by the context where it is implemented. This study is done within Ethiopia’s community-based program for management of severe acute malnourished children. It analyzes the influence of contextual factors (related to mothers, health care providers) on provision, utilization and outcome of the services. Qualitative and quantitative methods will be used to address dimensions within the conceptual frameworks “women’s caring capacity” and “quality of health care context”. Community based screening will identify 1700 malnourished children and assess contextual factors related to process and outcome (growth, survival). Results will increase the knowledge regarding contextual factors related to scaling-up of malnutrition interventions.
