22 Presentation Overview PART Global context 2. The Nutrition Specific 3. Using multiple platforms 4. Some achievements 5. Lessons learned
23 The ENA framework pulls together existing vertical programs in a sensible 'action-oriented' way; greatly expands coverage of nutrition specific interventions to multiple health contacts and community platforms; and provides a practical tool to train service providers and community workers.
24 1. Work at all levels across sectors Health Agriculture Education Finance Trade Communities (families) National Regional Districts Gov t Planners Donors NGOs Academia Radio DJs Journalists District MOH Team District Agric Team Other District Teams NGOs Hospital Administration, etc Health Workers, Health extensions Workers School teachers Etc.. CHVs, Community Leaders Village Model Farms Existing Women s Groups Etc improved advocacy leading to better national policies, strategies and guidelines and increased investment in nutrition strengthened health, community & agricultural systems for nutrition improved service provider capacity through training & supervision support to community for improved family actions on nutrition
25 2. Build on what already exists at all levels Existing systems & interventions partners, donors, NGOs, associations, institutions, etc Multiple health contacts and community platforms Traditional community groups & systems, home visits, community meetings and events, Inter-personal communication, group events, and mass media
26 3. Emphasize small doable actions to demystify nutrition Short and practical training on ENA Build technical and counseling skills to improve delivery of nutrition encourage the adoption of practices. Messages are: Simple, specific, action-oriented, adapted to local context and tailored to the life cycle; From formative research and field tested to provide insight into the needs and motivations; Associated with images
27 4. Strengthen the systems of delivery Make available standard job aids, guidelines and references Follow training with supportive supervision using a standard checklist Initiate performance review meetings Ensure logistics (Vit A, IFA, Iodized salt, RUTF, Food Availability & Access) Monitoring and Evaluation
28 Conclusion The delivery of specific nutrition interventions can be improved through the health sector. we know what to do we have the contacts and systems

34 EXAMPLES OF DELIVERY PLATFORMS FOR ENA
35 EXAMPLES OF DELIVERY PLATFORMS FOR ENA
36 EXAMPLES OF DELIVERY PLATFORMS FOR ENA agriculture (homestead food production) child survival programs safe motherhood/family planning school health programs emergency activities micro-credit for women etc.
37 Objective of HKI s HFP program model To improve the nutritional status of vulnerable members of low income households through year-round home production of micronutrient rich crops (fruits and vegetables) and small animals, poultry and fish. local crops and animals traditional farming practices woman farmer centered
38 HKI s HFP Program model impact pathways 1. Increased availability of micronutrient-rich foods through increased household production of these foods. 2. Increased income (assets) through the sale of surplus production. 3. Increased nutrition knowledge and adoption of optimal nutrition practices including consumption of micronutrientrich foods. 4. Improved health practices through linkages with local health services.
39 Characteristics of a typical HFP program HKI works through local NGOs 3-year project cycle Selection of a Village Model Farmer (VMFs)or Farmer Field School (FFS) (demonstration plots) Create mother groups around the VMFs or FFS so women can learn improved farming techniques along with improved nutrition practices (e.g. support to ENA) Strong focus on FOOD + CARE + HEALTH in design
40 HKI s HFP experiences to date Where? Since 1990, now in 6 countries in Asia: Bangladesh, Cambodia, Indonesia, Nepal, Philippines and Vietnam. Now being adapted to Africa (different challenges!) Coverage? Cumulative to-date more than 1.25 million families reached (e.g. majority in Bangladesh) Who? Primarily target women farmers from poorer households How? Constantly improving HFP model with lessons learned
41 Action Against Malnutrition through Agriculture (AAMA) Project in Nepal
42 AAMA Project Undernutrition is significant in Nepal 49% stunted, 39% underweight and 13% wasted 25% of mothers are undernourished and 42% of pregnant women are anemic Before project started, national efforts mainly focused solely on addressing micronutrient deficiencies. Little focus on multi-sector actions to address causes of malnutrition
43 AAMA Project 4 year USAID funded Child Survival Grant ( ) Implementation Districts: 4 districts Pilot project Implementation partners: Local NGOs Ministry of Health Ministry of Agriculture
44 AAMA - Program objectives Improve household food security and nutritional status of children under 2 years and their mothers Improve governance capacity within agriculture and health to strengthen multi-sectoral coordination for the joint identification, analysis and planning of nutrition and food security initiatives A young child having only rice in her meal.
45 AAMA - Program Beneficiaries Mothers and children under two (n=~13,500 HHs) Village model farms (n=360) Female community health volunteers (n=~1600) Government counterparts in agriculture and health sectors
46 AAMA - Interventions AAMA model built on Nepal s highly successful Female Community Health Volunteer (FCHW) program, introduces incentives to sustain their motivation Village Model Farm served as program platform to provide women beneficiaries with (1) agricultural training and (2) nutrition behavior change support (e.g. ENA) HKI s goal was to test whether model worked and if there was scope for expansion across Nepal A Village Model Farmer feeding her poultry
47 AAMA - 3 clusters of interventions 1. Homestead Food Production (HFP) Agriculture production Family consumption Income generation from sales of surplus 2. Essential Nutrition Actions (ENA) breastfeeding, complementary feeding, maternal nutrition, VAD, IDA/deworming, nutrition for sick child, Iodized salt 3. Behavior change communication cut across both agriculture and nutrition components Formative research 2-3 priority behaviors with focus on small do-able actions to start with Training in inter-personal counseling & negotiation skills Monthly VMF meetings and follow-up Development/use of IEC materials (e.g. job aids, flip charts)
48 HKI/Nepal s enhanced HFP model with FOOD-CARE-HEALTH components Groups of Women Farmers (two groups of 20 women per VMF) HEALTH FOOD CARE 50
49 GOVERNANCE ELEMENTS Reinforced government s strategy for multisectoral planning and collaboration to reduce malnutrition, including multisectoral nutrition plan National, regional and district planning workshops defined joint objectives and areas for integration VMFs were integrated into extension system District-level nutrition & food security working groups formed Recognized synergies and potentials between Agriculture, Health, Local Government 51
50 AGRICULTURE KEY ELEMENTS (1) Training NGO Master Training (10 days) VMF Training (3 days) Land usage/management Crop selection/diversity Animal husbandry/mgmt ENA principles Gender principles HFP Beneficiary Training (e.g. for mothers) (1 day) Agricultural inputs for VMF and beneficiaries Improved seeds Improved breeds poultry Improved-breed chickens are reared to focus on egg production. Chickens are brooded for 8 weeks, vaccinated and then distributed.
51 AGRICULTURE KEY ELEMENTS (2) VMF support to HFP Beneficiaries Training of mothers Providing agriculture inputs VMF also linked to government agricultural offices VMF Development: A VMF/FCHV works on her farm shortly after first planting
52 NUTRITION - KEY COMPONENTS (1) Formative Research Research conducted to identify beliefs, and constraints to improved practices Identify key messages NGO Master training on ENA/BCC FCHV/VMF Training on ENA Optimal breastfeeding Optimal complementary feeding. Nutritional care of the sick child Maternal nutrition Hygiene Counseling and negotiation skills Linkages with HFP activities A VMF/FCHV discusses ENA and doable actions with her HFPBs.
53 NUTRITION - KEY ELEMENTS (2) FCHV Training on BCC Small do-able actions Counseling and negotiation skills to convince mothers to adopt new practices FCHV Discussion with HFP Beneficiaries (mothers) Monthly meetings at VMF Home visits Links to health services, other projects Vitamin A supplementation Maternal iron supplementation A target mother feeding her children vegetables from the garden
54 AAMA MONITORING AND EVALUATION Evaluation Design: Baseline and endline surveys On-going Project Monitoring: Conducted by NGO and government partners every 6 months Various Methods: Lot Quality Assurance Sampling (LQAS) Qualitative assessments GIS mapping Tools: Structured questionnaire Observation checklists VMF register and HFP beneficiary register
55 Process/Output indicators Outcome indicators Impact indicators AAMA - Program Impact Pathways HKI, NTAG, SMJK, District Health, Agriculture and Livestock Offices, District Development Committee Input Process Outputs Outcomes Impact HKI partners with local NGOs and government Agriculture inputs including seeds, saplings and poultry Village Model Farms (VMF) established HFPB groups established Linkages to VMF, FCHVs and health services Supportive supervision Agriculturerelated training Nutrition & BCC-related education Improved and developed gardens established Small animal production established Beneficiaries understand agriculture training Beneficiaries understand nutrition education Increased production of nutrient-rich fruits & vegetables Increased animal source food production Increased Income Increased household consumption Improved child care and feeding practices Improved maternal and child health and nutritional status Project Monitoring and Evaluation
56 OVERVIEW OF RESULTS
57 OVERVIEW OF RESULTS Significant differences detected in each stage of the program impact pathways especially related to increased production, consumption and income. Significant improvements in maternal and child feeding practices and health seeking behaviors No significant reduction in child stunting, wasting or underweight Borderline reduction in child anemia Significant reduction in maternal underweight and anemia
58 AAMA LESSONS LEARNED Lengthy project start up process and short project length limited exposure window Other key determinants of child growth need much more attention especially water, hygiene and sanitation Design of USAID s bilateral nutrition project, Suaahara I ( ) was directly informed by AAMA lessons. Much greater focus on hygiene, gender, social equity and coverage across country
59 Taking a step back Key design issues to consider in agriculture- based interventions to improve nutrition
60 REVIEWS ON IMPACT OF AGRICULTURAL INTERVENTIONS ON NUTRITION OUTCOMES 62
61 REVIEWS ON IMPACT OF AGRICULTURAL INTERVENTIONS ON NUTRITION OUTCOMES programs promoting home gardening and animal production are likely to increase production, may increase household consumption and individual intake, but may have little to no effect on children s nutritional outcomes unless their nutritional inputs are revisited and strengthened. Jef Leroy et. al We attribute the lack of impact of agricultural interventions on child nutrition to methodological weaknesses of the studies reviewed rather than specific characteristics of these interventions. E. Masset et. al. 2011
62 Conceptual Framework of Undernutrition Nutritional Status Manifestations Diet Health Immediate Causes Household Food Security Care of Mother and Child Environ. Health, Hygiene & Sanitation FOOD CARE HEALTH Underlying Causes Human, Economic, and Institutional Resources Political and Ideological Structure Ecological Conditions Root Causes Adapted from UNICEF Potential Resources
63 REVIEWS ON IMPACT OF AGRICULTURAL INTERVENTIONS ON NUTRITION OUTCOMES Lack of consistent effects on nutrition likely due to: Inadequate program design (e.g. not enough attention to FOOD, CARE and HEALTH) Methodological weaknesses in M/E design (e.g. weak control, inadequate sample sizes, ) Difficult to design, implement and finance randomize control trials for agriculture programs with nutrition outcomes High cost of evaluation studies
64 Lessons Learned and Take Home Messages
65 Lessons Learned program design aspects of FOOD and CARE and HEALTH must be addressed strong links needed with local health services important strong behavior change communication, based on formative research, critical across ENA and HFP actitivies for adoption of new practices more attention needed on water, sanitation and hygiene for nutrition outcomes (informed design of current Suaahara project) plan to have adequate time for exposure to project interventions during 1,000 day window for results on nutrition outcomes (e.g. child growth) investment in strong M&E system
66 FINALLY, EVIDENCE FROM A RANDOMIZED CONTROL TRIAL! HKI and IFPRI tested EHFP AAMA style model in the Sahel using gold-standard randomized control trial. After 2 years: women increased their weight and improved their social status and role in household decisionmaking. prevalence of anemia in infants aged 3-6 months decreased by 15% prevalence of wasting (being too thin) among children 3-12 months reduced by 9% diarrhea (which can lead to wasting) reduced by between 10-16% Results published J of Nutr June 2015 First time ever we now have scientific evidence! Other RCT studies current in process 68
