The SMC Tool Kit materials were pre-tested in two different regions in Senegal to ensure they meet the needs of district planners and trainers, village leaders, nurses in charge of health centres; community health workers and caregivers – typically mothers. The materials have been adapted based on feedback and lessons learned. If you would like to adapt any of the documents for your own context, please contact us [18] for the source files.


The SMC Tool Kit was produced by MMV. MMV gratefully acknowledges the following partners who contributed to the technical content and development of the materials:
