Background-Globally, acute malnutrition accounts for >50% cases of childhood mortality in under 5 children each year. Moderate acute malnutrition treatment would be to reduce child mortality and morbidity. Study done in Ethiopia showed treatment food share, lack of water and other factor suggested to cause lower chance of recovery at end of 16 week as per Ethiopian acute malnutrition treatment guide line . Methods- Retrospective cohort study design was conducted among children aged 6–59 months which were treated in targeted supplementary feeding program . A total of 402 children were selected from eight health posts by systematic random sampling. Data were collected by reviewing registration records and interview from January 1-10/2018. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 20, bivariate and multivariate statistical methods were used to analyze and describe the data and p < 0.05 was considered as significant. Results-the overall average timely recovery was 15 week (SD , 3.3). Children treated by super cereal were 2.44 times more likely to recover timely than children treated by corn soybean blend (AHR 2.44; 95% CI 1.85-3.21). Children that had regular follows up has 48% (AHR 1.48; 95% CI 1.09-2.00) more chance of recovery than intermittent treatment follow up, children’s from sever food in secured family had 51% lower chance to recover than moderate food insecured house hold (AHR 0.49; 95% CI 0.21-0.11) and, admission MUAC³11 . 6 cm had 1.18 times higher proportion of recovery than admission MUAC = 11.5 cm (AHR 1.18; 95% CI 1.13-1.12). Children who have no transport access has 2 times lower proportion of recovery than who have access (AHR 0.5; 95% CI 0.38-0.64). Conclusion- the mean time to recovery was 15 week which is consistent with the national standard 16 weeks. Type of treatment foods, treatment follow up status, and admission mid upper arm circumference had significant association with time recovery moderate acute malnutrition treatment.
