Abstract:
In Somalia, C4D informs UNICEF’s approach to increasing community resilience against malnutrition and disease. Approximately 14 million
people in 2.3 million households are being reached through mass media (radio, television, social media, etc.) and house to house visits.
In Kabasa IDP camp, 16-year-old Hamdi Hasan, a young social mobiliser, speaks to new mothers about the importance of immunisation,
breastfeeding and nutrition. Hamdi wants to be a doctor when she’s older and says “it’s really important to engage with young mothers here
and tell them about health issues and promote good practices. If our children have good health, our nation has good health”.
