relapse or death in the year following recovery. This cluster-randomized trial will evaluate
a package of affordable, safe, proven interventions specifically targeted to this population
of children in an attempt to decrease their risk of relapse or death following recovery from
moderate acute malnutrition. These children will be followed for a year following recovery to
assess rates of relapse and mortality.
