A report from the African Population and Health Research Center explores the perceptions of community members in northern Kenya regarding the management of acute malnutrition by community health volunteers (CHVs). The study found that caregivers and CHVs perceived the intervention to be beneficial, acceptable, effective, and easily accessible.
