Mother to Mother (M2M)
CEAL-Ghana is supported by Foundation Van Dam Nutrition Plan to implement a project called Mother to Mother (M2M). The project seekes to promote and spread two local innovations (LIs) in food and nutrition in West Mamprusi Municipal (Ghana). The two innovations are said to cover critical and important nutrition areas at the community level. These innovations are Walsa/Petepete and Biisi-Koko (infant porridge) flour rich in essential food nutrients required for proper growth and development of the body. In the first year the beneficiary communities under the M2M were Loari, Kukua, KataBanawa, Nayoku and Gbimsi, all in the West Mamprusi Municipal in the Northeast Region of Ghana.
The 2nd year project will focus on five new communities as part of project expansion in the Municipality. The new communities will go by the same model of M2M, where 1st 10 women trained as ToTs shall retuned to train 10 each of their colleagues in their various communities. This will then give us 10X10=100X10=1000 by the end of year 2024. The project management team will continue to monitor and provide backstopping activities to women in the five old communities as part of 2nd M2M project activities in the Municipality. New communities are–Zangum, Zaagu, Voga, Bugyagura and BugyaPala.
A total of ten communities are earmarked for implementation in the 2nd year of project activities.
