Community-based management of acute malnutrition was endorsed as a strategy to alleviate such burdens of child morbidity and mortality associated with malnutrition. Despite outpatient therapeutic program has decentralized to health post level, there is still a lack of adequate evidence regarding the recovery rates from outpatient therapeutic program at health post level in Ethiopia. In addition, the previous body of articles did not show the local situations, particularly the recovery rates of severe acute malnutrition children from outpatient therapeutic program in the central Gondar zone, Ethiopia. &lt;b&gt;Aim:&lt;/b&gt; This study aimed to assess recovery rate and associated factors among severe acute malnourished children enrolled to outpatient therapeutic program at health posts of Central Gondar zone, Ethiopia. &lt;b&gt;Methods:&lt;/b&gt; This study was a facility-based retrospective cross-sectional study conducted on 349 children who had managed for severe acute malnutrition in outpatient therapeutic program in Central Gondar zone from March to May 2021. A structured and pre-tested data extraction checklist adapted from literatures was used to collect the data. The children were selected using consecutive sampling from 39 health posts. Data were entered, cleaned, coded and analyzed using Stata version 14 software. Binary logistic regression was fitted to identify factors associated with recovery rate from outpatient therapeutic program. Adjusted odds ratio with 95% confidence interval and &lt;i&gt;p&lt;/i&gt;-value &lt;0.05 were used to declare the variables statistically significant with the recovery rate from outpatient therapeutic program. &lt;b&gt;Results:&lt;/b&gt; The successful recovery rate for severe acute malnourished children admitted to outpatient therapeutic program was 74.2% (95% CI: 69.3, 78.6). False recovery, death, default, non-responder and medical transfer out rates were 12.6%, 8.6%, 2.9%, 0.9% and 0.9%, respectively. In addition, the average weight gain of children was 4.4 g/kg/day for the length of stays, and the average length of stay was also 6.7 (±1.3SD) weeks.
