The Honduras AIN-C (Atencion Integral a
la Ninez-Comunitaria) Program is a preventive health and
nutrition program of the Honduras Ministry of Health that
relies on volunteers to help mothers and communities
pro-actively monitor and maintain the adequate growth of
young children. A 2000 experimental-design based evaluation
found that the program achieved near-universal coverage and
was effective in improving mothers' child-rearing
knowledge, attitudes and practices, including feeding
practices and appropriate care-giving and care-seeking
practices for children with diarrhea and acute respiratory
illness. The program is widely regarded as a model. This
study was undertaken to provide the first comprehensive
estimates of the cost of AIN-C, with the goal of providing a
program and financial planning tool for Honduras, as well as
other countries interested in implementing an AIN-C Program.
Expressed in mid-2002 U.S. dollars, the study found: (1) the
long-term, annual, recurrent cost per child less than two
participating in the program is US$6.82, (2) the long-term,
annual, incremental budget requirements per child less than
two participating in the program is $4.00, (3) the
long-term, annual recurrent cost per capita is $0.44, and
the cost of an AIN-C monthly growth monitoring and
counseling session per child is 11 percent of the cost of a
traditional MOH, facility-based growth and development
consultation per child. |
