3 Executive Summary Forty-eight countries involved in the 2004 Survey on the Enhanced Commitments to Women (ECW) have been ranked on the basis of their performance with respect to HIV / AIDS using the results of the self-assessment exercise. The countries with a poor performance were Afghanistan, Armenia, Indonesia, Tajikistan, Bolivia, Niger, Azerbaijan, Honduras, Liberia, Haiti, India, Myanmar, Chad, Rep. of Congo, DRC. Those with a high performance were Rwanda, Cambodia, Gambia, Zimbabwe, Guinea Bissau, Kenya, Sierra Leone, and Mozambique. School feeding The integration of HIV prevention into formal education is considered very important for WFP programming activities. The results related to school feeding can be summarized as follows: - In Angola, Azerbaijan, Bolivia, India, Yemen, Niger, Chad, Rep. of Congo, and Sudan HIV / AIDS prevention has been poorly integrated in the curricula of the schools assisted by WFP - In Gambia, Guinea, Liberia, Malawi, Mauritania, Mozambique, Burundi, Cambodia, Uganda, Guinea Bissau, Zimbabwe HIV / AIDS prevention has been well integrated in the curricula of such schools. Relief Sensitization programmes on HIV / AIDS prevention was the activity more offered at the operational sites; other activities benefiting HIV / AIDS infected/affected individuals such as the modification of ration size, ration composition, and distribution modalities were not often provided. In Burundi, Myanmar and Chad only a small percentage of operational sites offered training / sensitization programmes. On the contrary, Zambia and Sierra Leone contemplated HIV / AIDS issues to a wide extent in their activities. Nutrition The centres operational at the time of the survey offered mother-to-child transmission programmes more often than voluntary HIV counselling/testing, opportunistic infection treatments, and home-based care. Antiretroviral treatment was hardly ever provided (2.6% of the sites provided it). In Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Mauritania, Eritrea and Southern Sudan the nutritional centres did not provide any service related to HIV / AIDS. On the contrary, performance of Rwanda, Zambia and Zimbabwe was outstanding as the vast majority of their sites implemented at least one of the measures addressed by the survey. Globally, the attendance of men/boys to HIV prevention sessions was low (in only 23.5% of the sites they participated). In particular, it was zero in Nicaragua and Bangladesh; very low in Colombia and Zambia; low in Malawi and Rwanda. Food for Training (FFT) The sites operational at the time of survey offered sensitization programmes at the food distribution points (FDPs) much more frequently than the modification of ration size, ration composition, and distribution modalities (the latter ones put in place in 1% and 0.6% of the sites respectively). Armenia, Djibouti and Bolivia are the countries where the FFT sites have the poorest performance. In particular, nothing was done in the Armenian sites; 6.3 percent of Djibouti s sites changed the ration size/composition and 12 percent of Bolivian sites provided awareness-raising sessions on HIV / AIDS. On the other hand, Indonesia and Rwanda contemplated HIV / AIDS issues to a wide extent in their activities. Overall, training/sensitization programmes on HIV / AIDS prevention have been provided more frequently at the FFT food distribution points than at the FFW food distribution points (69 percent vs 25 percent). Food for Work (FFW) Modification of ration size, ration composition, and distribution modalities (e.g.: more frequent distribution, special packaging, etc.) are extraordinary measures, almost never implemented. As mentioned above training/sensitization programmes on HIV / AIDS prevention have been provided in 25 percent of the FFW sites. In particular, they were not provided at all in Armenia, Burundi, Djibouti, Uganda, Nicaragua and they were widely provided in Sierra Leone, Angola and Rwanda. 3 of 24

4 Introduction The 2004 Survey on the Enhanced Commitments to Women is a comprehensive study undertaken in 48 Country Offices in order to capture the status quo with regard to the implementation of the Gender Policy It is composed of two main parts: the country office (CO) self-assessment and the site-level surveys. Both the phases included questions related to HIV / AIDS and the results here reported. The first paragraph includes the results from the country office self-assessment; the second paragraph includes the results from the field level survey. 1. Country office self-assessment The country office (CO) self-assessment survey focused on three areas: WFP programme activities (Relief, Nutrition, School Feeding, Food for Training and Food for Work), information on the institutional situation at the country office level with regard to the implementation of WFP s Gender Policy and WFP partners agreements. The main objective of the country office self assessment survey was to realize whether the ECW are reflected in WFP approved project documents and to what extent the ECW were actually implemented in the operations to which WFP provides food assistance. Some questions related to HIV/AIDS although not directly linked to the ECW were included and the results are presented here. Data were collected at the country office with the cooperation of senior management, programme officers, gender focal points, vulnerability analysis and mapping officers, and HIV/AIDS focal points. One questionnaire was to be filled for each activity under each operation. Only one country office questionnaire was filled for each country. Countries involved in the survey are listed below: Table 1 Countries under survey Regional bureau Countries under survey ODB ODC ODD ODJ ODK ODPC Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Myanmar, Nepal Afghanistan, Algeria, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Iran, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Yemen Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Chad, Gambia, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Liberia, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Sierra Leone Angola, Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia, Zimbabwe Burundi, DRC, Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rep. Congo, Rwanda, Sudan, Somalia 1, Tanzania, Uganda Bolivia, Colombia, Haiti, Honduras, Nicaragua Detailed information regarding the participation of each country to the survey is reported in annex I. 1 Being information from Somalia not very reliable, it has been taken out from the report. 4 of 24

5 1.1. Performance of the countries under survey on HIV / AIDS In order to evaluate the overall performance of the countries under survey with respect to HIV / AIDS, a global numeric performance index has been computed 2. Table 2 reports all the countries under survey ranked on the basis of their performance (in yellow are the countries with the lower performance, in green the ones with a good performance). Table 2 to what extent topics related to HIV / AIDS have been taken into consideration in the Country Office and during the implementation of the activities.

9 1.2. An overview on specific issues The tables of the previous chapter distinguish the countries on the basis of their overall performance, while the tables hereinafter report on specific issues (questions) considered in the questionnaires. Such kind of information is reported in the following tables. The results refer to the countries and to the project documents (two level of analysis). From the Country Office questionnaire 48 country offices filled the CO questionnaire. Forty seven out of forty eight countries (98%) have national and/or local policies addressing HIV/AIDS. Afghanistan is the only exception. Nineteen countries reported that such national and / or local policies address HIV/AIDS in the context of household food security (see table 9). Table 9 HIV / AIDS in the national and local policies Regional Countries where national and / or bureau local policies address HIV/AIDS Countries where national and or local policies DO NOT address HIV/AIDS Not known ODB Cambodia Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Myanmar ODC Iran Algeria, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Tajikistan, Yemen ODD Burkina Faso, Gambia, Guinea, Guinea Cape Verde, Chad, Liberia, Mauritania, Bissau, Mali Niger ODJ Mozambique Angola, Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe ODK Burundi, DRC, Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda Nepal Georgia, Pakistan Sierra Leone Tanzania, Sudan, Rep. of Congo ODPC Colombia, Honduras Bolivia, Haiti, Nicaragua Total HIV/AIDS prevalence by sex was one of the factors taken into consideration during VAM process by nine countries: Liberia, Guinea Bissau, Mali, Malawi, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Djibouti, DRC (see table 10).

11 From Food for Training questionnaire 38 FFT activities in 30 countries were surveyed. In 19 activities (14 countries) partners are offering HIV/AIDS training / sensitization to the trainees. It worth mentioning that in Bangladesh such training is offered under all the 4 FFT implemented (see table 13).

From Food for Work questionnaire 57 FFW activities in 43 countries were surveyed. None of the 57 FFW activities (in 39 countries) under survey have defined appropriate work norms for HIV/AIDS infected/affected individuals participating in FFW activities. In several FFW (countries) this question was not relevant (see table 14).

12 2. The site-level survey Twenty-eight countries participated also to the site-level survey whose main purpose was to verify to what extent the ECW were actually implemented in the operational sites. The site-level surveys covered the following activities: Nutrition, Food for Training, Food for Work and Relief. The unit of analysis of the site-level survey was the site operational at the time of survey. Data were collected as follows: For FFT, FFW and Relief, trained enumerators visited a sample of operational sites; interviewed site administrators and cooperating partners representatives; organized group discussions with male and female beneficiaries and filled one questionnaire for each visited site. Field visits were not required to fill the Nutrition site-level questionnaires. Upon close consultation with the Nutrition Unit in HQ, it was agreed that the information needed for the survey could have been gathered at the country office or at sub-offices (SOs), as data were often already available. Therefore, nutrition questionnaires were distributed to country office and sub-offices for completion by the programme staff/nutrition focal points. Globally, 884 FFT sites, 973 FFW sites and 935 Relief sites have been actually visited; 661 nutrition questionnaires have been filled at the COs and / or SOs. The following table reports country-disaggregated figures (see table 15). Table 15 Number of nutrition questionnaires filled, number of FFT, FFW and relief sites visited.

13 How to interpret the data in the tables? 1. Consider the percentage of sites where a particular measure was implemented. In particular, pay attention to the column reporting the percentage of sites where at least one measure was implemented (if reported in the table). 2. Then, read the column TOTAL VALID SITES. From the technical perspective, computing percentages on a low no. of cases (e.g. N < 50) is not correct as in such situation even very few answers affect radically the results thus making the percentages not secure. However, in order to allow comparisons, between countries percentages have been computed BUT the no. of valid cases against which they have been calculated has also been reported. Remember that the lower is the no. of valid cases; the lower is the reliability of the percentages. As with regard to the no of total valid cases, please consider also the no. of sites usually operational in the countries under survey. The samples (if a sampling was done) are representatives of the sites operational at the time of survey. Nonetheless, it can be that at the time of survey the kind of activity carried out did not reflect the usual activity implemented in the countries. 3. Pay attention to the countries (or percentages) marked with two stars (**). In these cases, not only the percentages have been computed on a low number of valid cases, but there were many not known in the sample. It is suggested checking carefully these percentages before taking any action. The performance of these countries have not been reported in narrative. 13 of 24

14 2.1. Main findings on relief site-level survey In order to evaluate to what extent HIV / AIDS has been taken into consideration in the relief sites of the countries under survey the following issues has been addressed: Provision of training / sensitization programmes around the food distribution points (FDPs) Ration size / composition changed in order to take into account the constraints posed by HIV /AIDS Distribution modalities changed in order to take into account the constraints posed by HIV /AIDS The following table reports the percentages of sites implementing such measures (see table 16). ZAMBIA and SIERRA LEONE contemplated HIV / AIDS to a wide extent during the implementation of relief activities. As a matter of fact, in these countries most of the sites (80.8% and 91.7% respectively) implemented at least one of the measures analyzed (see table 16 for details). At the time of survey, relief was implemented in YEMEN in only one refugees camp. In such camp training / sensitization programmes were offered at the FDPs, but ration size, ration composition and distribution modalities were not changed in order to meet the needs of HIV / AIDS infected/affected individuals. In UGANDA, ANGOLA and ETHIOPIA half (49%, 51% and 56% respectively) of the sites put in place at least one of the measures under analysis. In Angola and Ethiopia only training / sensitization programmes around the FDPs were provided at the sites. 3 In Uganda there was a greater heterogeneity in the measures offered: 31 percent of the sites offered training programmes around the FDPs, 12 percent changed the ration size / composition and 29 percent modified the distribution modalities. Six countries (BANGLADESH, AFGHANISTAN, ARMENIA, AZERBAIJAN, MALAWI AND NICARAGUA) did not contemplate at all HIV / AIDS during the implementation of relief activities as none of the three measures was implemented in none of the sites. In the remaining 10 countries the extent to which HIV / AIDS was contemplated during the implementation of the activities varies greatly: in BURUNDI, MYANMAR and CHAD a small percentage of sites put in place at least one measure (namely training / sensitization programmes) in COLOMBIA, SOUTHERN SUDAN, ERITREA, HAITI, RWANDA, INDONESIA and SUDAN the percentage is greater (see table 16). Table 16 shows clearly that SENSITIZATION PROGRAMMES AROUND THE FOOD DISTRIBUTION POINTS were much more implemented than other measures. Modification of ration size, of ration composition and distribution modalities follow at a remarkable distance (overall, they are put in place in 3% and 4.6% of the sites respectively). The following table reports the results in details: The first column reports the name of the country The second reports the percentage of sites where training / sensitisation programmes were offered around the FDPs The third reports the percentage of sites where composition was changed in order to take into account the constraints posed by HIV / AIDS The fourth reports the percentage of sites where distribution modalities were changed to take into account the constraints posed by HIV/AIDS The fifth reports the percentage of sites where at least one of the 3 initiatives was put in place The latter column reports the (weighted) number of sites where HIV / AIDS is relevant and that answered to the question. 3 In Ethiopia 1.4 percent of sites changed the distribution modalities in order to meet the needs posed by HIV / AIDS. 14 of 24

Percentages computed by taking into account only the valid sites. In some countries data were collected in a sample of sites, not in all the sites operational at the time of survey. The representativeness of the samples is guaranteed by a system of weights. So - for some countries - the no. of valid sites corresponds to the weighted number. In order to allow comparisons between countries, percentages were computed even against a low no. of valid cases. It is suggested taking into account also the no. of valid cases as a percentage computed on a low no. of cases is less secure. (**) In these countries (marked with a double star) the low number of valid cases and the relevant incidence of "not known" affect the reliability of the percentages. 15 of 24

16 2.2. Main findings on nutrition site-level survey In order to evaluate to what extent HIV / AIDS has been taken into consideration in the nutrition centres of the countries under survey the following issues have been addressed: Services: Provision of voluntary HIV counselling and testing Mother-to-child transmission prevention Provision of home based care Provision of HIV opportunistic infection treatment Provision of antiretroviral treatment Awareness-raising: Provision of awareness raising session on HIV prevention Attendance of men and boys to awareness raising sessions Attendance of pregnant or lactating women to awareness raising sessions The following 2 tables report the percentages of sites implementing such measures (see tables 17 and 18). In BANGLADESH, AFGHANISTAN, MAURITANIA, ERITREA AND SOUTHERN SUDAN the nutritional centres operational at the time of survey did not provide any service related to HIV / AIDS. ETHIOPIA, MALAWI, HAITI and DJIBOUTI did a lot against HIV / AIDS: in these countries a high percentage of nutritional centres (67% in Ethiopia, 69% in Malawi, 90% in Haiti and Djibouti) implemented at least one of the measures addressed by the survey. Performance of RWANDA, ZAMBIA and ZIMBABWE was outstanding as the vast majority (or all) of nutritional centres operational at the time of survey implemented at least one of the measures (95%, 99%, 100% respectively). In NICARAGUA, all the sites (100%) provided mother-to-child transmission prevention but they did not provide at all the other services. Table 17 shows clearly that MOTHER-TO-CHILD TRANSMISSION PROGRAMMES were the most implemented measures. Globally, such programmes were provided by 43 percent of the sites. Voluntary HIV counselling/testing, provision of opportunistic infection treatment and home based care follow at a rather distance (they were in place in 19.8%, 14.8% and 12% of the centres) whereas antiretroviral treatment was rarely provided (2.6% of the sites). The following table reports the results in details: The first column reports the name of the country The second reports the percentage of sites providing voluntary counselling and testing The third reports the percentage of sites providing mother-to-child transmission prevention The fourth reports the percentage of sites providing HIV opportunistic infection treatment The fifth reports the percentage of sites providing at least one of the above services The latter column reports the (weighted) number of sites where HIV / AIDS is relevant and that answered to the question. 16 of 24

18 Globally, 60 percent of the nutritional centres operational at the time of survey offered sessions on HIV prevention. Nonetheless, table 18 shows clearly that there were countries offering sessions in the vast majority of sites (NICARAGUA, ETHIOPIA, SIERRA LEONE, RWANDA, MALAWI, HAITI and ZAMBIA) and countries where none (Mauritania) or a small percentage of centres offered such sessions (Yemen, Djibouti, Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Chad). Attendance of men/boys and level of participation of the assisted pregnant and lactating women have been measured in those sites providing sessions on HIV prevention. Unfortunately in several countries the no. of nutritional centres under survey was rather low and very few sites provided sessions on HIV. In such countries (Yemen, Djibouti, Afghanistan, Chad, Eritrea and Southern Sudan) few recommendations can be made on the basis of this information. Therefore their results are not reported in narrative. As with regard to ATTENDANCE OF MEN/BOYS, globally their participation was low (in only 23.5% of the sites they participated). It was zero in Nicaragua and Bangladesh; it was very low in Colombia (9.8% of the sites) and Zambia (7.4% of the sites); low in Malawi (17% of the sites) and Rwanda (29% of the sites). Only in Haiti and Sierra Leone the majority of sites (73.7% and 60% of the sites respectively) involved men/boys in the sessions on HIV prevention. Unfortunately, only in few countries the monitoring system of the nutritional centres allows to check whether AT LEAST HALF OF THE ASSISTED PREGNANT AND LACTATING WOMEN participated to the sessions. If we consider only the reliable figures, we notice that in Malawi the 50 percent target suggested by the Gender Policy (ECW I.3) was reached in only 31 percent of the sites; such percentage increases in Zambia (79%) and Sierra Leone (79%). In Ethiopia, Nicaragua and Haiti all the sites achieved the target. The following table reports the results in details: The first column reports the name of the country The second reports the percentage of sites providing awareness raising sessions on HIV The third reports the percentage of sites where men and boys participated to the sessions The fourth reports the percentage of sites where at least half of the pregnant and lactating women assisted participated to the sessions. 18 of 24

20 2.3. Main findings on food for training (FFT) site-level survey In order to evaluate to what extent HIV / AIDS have been taken into consideration in the FFT sites of the countries under survey the following issues have been addressed: Provision of training / sensitization programmes around the food distribution points (FDPs) Ration size / composition changed in order to take into account the constraints posed by HIV /AIDS Distribution modalities changed in order to take into account the constraints posed by HIV /AIDS The following table reports the percentages of sites implementing such measures (see table 19). INDONESIA and RWANDA contemplated HIV / AIDS to a wide extent during the implementation of FFT activities. As a matter of fact, in Indonesia all the sites provided awareness raising sessions on HIV and half of them (48%) changed the ration size/composition in order to face the constraints posed by HIV. In Rwanda the vast majority of the 16 operational sites (81.3%) provided such sessions and few (18.8% and 12.5%) changed the ration size/ composition and the distribution. Also in Bangladesh and in Sierra Leone a very high percentage of FFT sites provided awareness-raising sessions (80.4% and 78.9% respectively) but none of them changed the ration size/composition or the distribution modalities. Armenia, Djibouti and Bolivia are the countries where the FFT centres have the poorest performance. In particular, nothing was implemented in none of the Armenian sites; 6.3 percent of Djibouti s sites changed the ration size/composition and 12 percent of Bolivian sites provided awareness raising sessions. Table 19 shows clearly that SENSITIZATION PROGRAMMES AROUND THE FOOD DISTRIBUTION POINTS were the most implemented measures. 4 Overall, modification of ration size/ration composition and distribution modalities were put in place in 1% and 0.6% of the sites respectively. In particular, changes in ration size/composition were implemented a lot in Indonesia (48.1%) and partially in Rwanda (18.8%); distribution modalities were changed in a few sites of Rwanda (12.5%), Sudan (8.3%), Zambia (5.7%) and Uganda (2.2%). The following table reports the results in details: The first column reports the name of the country The second reports the percentage of sites where training / sensitisation programmes were offered around the FDPs The third reports the percentage of sites where composition was changed in order to take into account the constraints posed by HIV / AIDS The fourth reports the percentage of sites where distribution modalities were changed to take into account the constraints posed by HIV/AIDS The fifth reports the percentage of sites where at least one of the 3 initiatives was put in place The latter column reports the (weighted) number of sites where HIV / AIDS is relevant and that answered to the question. 4 Similar result for Relief and FFW sites. 20 of 24

21 Table Survey on the Enhanced Commitments to Women: Results from the Site Level Survey Unit of analysis: the FFT site operational at the time of survey. For the timeframe of data collection check table 15 name of the country How many sites offered HIV / AIDS training / sensitization programmes around the FDPs? How many sites changed the ration size / composition for constraints posed by HIV? How many sites changed distribution modalities for constraints posed by HIV? In how many sites AT LEAST ONE of the previous has been done? TOTAL VALID SITES (*) percentage of sites percentage of sites percentage of sites percentage of sites number of sites Myanmar (**) Afghanistan (**) Armenia Djibouti Bolivia Colombia (**) Southern Sudan (**) Uganda Burundi Sudan Zambia Rep. Congo Sierra Leone Bangladesh Rwanda Indonesia OVERALL (*) TOTAL VALID SITES: are the sites where the answer was provided and relevant. Percentages computed by taking into account only the valid sites. In some countries data were collected in a sample of sites, not in all the sites operational at the time of survey. The representativeness of the samples is guaranteed by a system of weights. So - for some countries - the no. of valid sites corresponds to the weighted number. In order to allow comparisons between countries, percentages were computed even against a low no. of valid cases. It is suggested taking into account also the no. of valid cases as a percentage computed on a low no. of cases is less secure. (**) In these countries (marked with a double star) the low number of valid cases and the relevant incidence of "not known" affect the reliability of the percentages. 21 of 24

22 2.4 Main findings on food for work (FFW) site-level survey Table 20 shows clearly that in the Food for Work (FFW) sites MODIFICATION OF RATION SIZE/COMPOSITION AND OF DISTRIBUTION MODALITIES are extraordinary measures almost never implemented (see table 20 for details). Overall, TRAINING/SENSITIZATION PROGRAMMES on HIV / AIDS have been provided more frequently around the FFT food distribution points than around the FFW food distribution points (69 percent vs 25 percent). Awareness raising sessions have been provided in all the eight sites operational at the time of survey in SIERRA LEONE; in a good percentage of sites in ANGOLA (70%), RWANDA (63%) and ZAMBIA (54%). On the contrary they were not provided at all in ARMENIA, BURUNDI, DJIBOUTI, UGANDA, NICARAGUA and they were rarely provided in BOLIVIA (1.3%), MAURITANIA (1.9%), COLOMBIA (3.5%) and SUDAN (9.1%). The following table reports the results in details: The first column reports the name of the country The second reports the percentage of sites where training / sensitisation programmes were offered around the FDPs The third reports the percentage of sites where composition was changed in order to take into account the constraints posed by HIV / AIDS The fourth reports the percentage of sites where distribution modalities were changed to take into account the constraints posed by HIV/AIDS The latter column reports the (weighted) number of sites where HIV / AIDS is relevant and that answered to the question. 22 of 24
