  15. Outline • Progress with Preparing for Scaling-up Nutrition • Process Indicator I – Bringing people into a shared space for action (the multi-sector, multi-stakeholder platform): • Process Indicator II – Ensuring a coherent policy and legal framework: • Process Indicator III – Aligning around a single set of Expected Results [Common Results Framework CRF]: • Process Indicator IV - Financial Tracking and Resource Mobilisation: • Paper 1 Details of Progress in SUN Countries

  16. Outline • Progress with Preparing for Scaling-up Nutrition • The impact of high-level political commitment: • Tanzania, Uganda, Benin and Namibia have placed nutrition directly under the supervision of the Head of Government or State. • The President of Guatemala and the President of Peru have linked their presidency mandate to the reduction of stunting. • Other countries including Zimbabwe, Sierra Leone and The Gambia have their • Vice-Presidents as national Champions for Scaling Up Nutrition. • Many are focusing on the gender dimensions of under-nutrition and the importance of empowering women for scaling up nutrition.

  17. Outline Progress with Preparing for Scaling-up Nutrition National policies, legislation and strategies that impact on nutritional outcomes: Nutrition policies and strategies have been updated and endorsed In Nepal, Mozambique, Madagascar, Benin, Tanzania, Zambia and Uganda the approved national policies and strategies reflect a multi-sector approach At least one third received legislative approval for a coherent multi-sector framework (Niger, Mauritania, Indonesia, Burkina Faso and Peru) The Gambia, Madagascar and Uganda have specific gender policies that will contribute to nutritional outcomes.

  18. Outline Progress with Preparing for Scaling-up Nutrition Aligning around a single set of expected results (Common Results Framework): A priority for strategic focus on the most effective interventions Aligning different programs to contribute to one set of expected results. Alignment: the best means for translating commitments made by governments / partners into synergized implementation. Roadmaps Shared. Examples include: 3N initiative in Niger, Hambre Zero in Guatemala, CRECER para Incluir in Peru and Aba Grangou in Haiti. The Focal Points in Mozambique, Tanzania, Madagascar and Indonesia have shared their experiences of prioritisation at the sub-national level.

  19. Outline Progress with Preparing for Scaling-up Nutrition Estimation of the cost for scaling-up and analysis of shortfalls: Information within SUN Country Templates about estimated costs, domestic and external contributions, and financing gaps, is incomplete. Most SUN countries provided an indication of the costs of nutrition-specific interventions, mostly those provided through the health sector. National authorities & donor agencies struggling to establish consistent methods for tracking expenditures on nutrition outcomes across sectors. Nevertheless country focal points from Bangladesh, Niger, Indonesia, Sierra Leone, Peru, Guatemala, Ethiopia, Mozambique, The Gambia and Nepal have reported on efforts to estimate overall financial investments for nutrition.

  20. Outline Planning and costing for the acceleration of actions for nutrition: experiences of countries in the Movement for Scaling Up Nutrition April 2014

  21. Outline • Brief History of SUN – Costing Processes • 2010 – Movement Led by Governments – NOW 45 countries • Provided context for existing support groups to align behind national policies • National plans need core elements as well as investors language • Framework for Scaling-up Nutrition (What will it cost – Susan Horton) –Stunting as an indicator • 2013 Refinements in costs of specific interventions / WHO Costing • June 2013 G8 – costs pulled together from national plans to show elements, costs and gaps where plausible

  22. Outline G8 Commitments – 2013 • Global Nutrition for Growth Compact endorsed by a total of 94 stakeholders • 15 Governments committed to increase the domestic resources 12 Governments announced national stunting-reduction targets. • Donors today have secured new commitments of up to GBP £2.7 billion (USD $4.15 billion) to tackle undernutrition up to 2020, GBP £1.9 billion (USD $2.9 billion) of which is core funding with the remainder secured through matched funding. • An estimated GBP £12.5 billion (USD $19 billion) committed for improved nutrition outcomes from nutrition-sensitive investments between 2013 and 2020.

  23. Outline G8 Commitments – 2013 • New partnerships between business and science • Commitment to develop a new catalytic financing facility for nutrition. • Launch an annual Global Report on Nutrition from 2014,. • Hold annual global nutrition meeting in margins of UN General Assembly, from September 2013.

  24. Outline Contribution of National Nutrition Plans to Stewardship of Multiple Actors and Synergised, Effective Actions The process through which a plan is developed has a critical influence on the utility of the plan for stewardship of multiple actors. The development of a national nutrition plan is a “directed negotiation”. A national nutrition plan is often an amalgam of multiple sector plans.

  25. Outline Contribution of Nutrition Plans to Effective Implementation of Interventions to Scale Up Nutrition Local level plans informed by national recommendations Plans are especially useful if then basis for monitoring progress Most likely to yield synergised and effective efforts if attention paid to nutritionally vulnerable individuals and communities. Most plans currently focus on enabling pregnant women and young children to access specific nutrition interventions in the 1,000 day window

  26. Outline Cost Calculations in National Plans Should be Based on Explicit Principals and Assumptions Increasing need for costing to be undertaken in an inclusive way. The assumptions that underlie costings are made explicit and can be examined by all: Intervention directly relates to nationally agreed targets for implementation rather than to general objectives for improvement, …and if expected expenditure is spelt out year by year.

  27. Outline Strategy for Increase the Potential Utility of Costed National Plans for Scaling Up Nutrition Emphasis on the processes for planning, implementation and monitoring rather than on the plan itself. The systematic engagement of domestic and international decision makers in planning and costing work. The evolution of principles that should be reflected in different stages of the planning cycle (from design to costing, managing implementation and monitoring).

  28. Outline National Nutrition Planning Processes are Likely to be most Useful if Based in the Following Principals Agreement around a national Common Results Framework (CRF) helps to shape multi--‐stakeholder working. The role of government is to convene all stakeholders, coordinate their engagement, lead strategy, maintain shared ownership (national and sub) Tracking the use of resources involves the development of systems for gathering data on expenditure. National plans should incorporate the investments of the NGOs contributing to national targets and Common Results Frameworks. The design of a financial tracking system should at all times reflect the interests of decision –makers. Type / regularity and level of info needed?

  29. Outline Next Steps – Strengthening the capacity of SUN countries for planning, costing, managing implementation, tracking expenditure and monitoring progress. Optimising the use of communications and advocacy to maintain political commitment and support institutional change, Establishing guidance for countries on nutrition-sensitive investments, planning, costing and managing the implementation of actions and establishing robust systems Mobilising additional external and domestic resources for nutrition, and tracking the effectiveness and efficiency of these funds.

  30. Outline • Share current MQSUN activities • Policy, legislation and plan reviews and summaries • Support effective nutrition-sensitive implementation around a Common Results Framework (CRF) to maximise impact • Support financial tracking and resource mobilization • Aggregate and document the lessons learned from the work with countries

  31. Outline Yemen – Contextual analysis and prioritisation of nutrition-sensitive intervention within the national plan. Malawi – Monitoring and Evaluation support / financial tracking, especially in the area of nutrition sensitive Ghana – Support the review process of the National Nutrition Policy, provide training on costing processes and identify features of financial tracking Benin – Support development of the multi-sector M&E framework Chad - Costing of the National Action Plan (scoping exercise) El Salvador – Review and considering alignment of the Capacity Building Strategy to the Nutrition and Food Security Strategy Synthesis Other ToR (Haiti and Indonesia)

  32. Outline Challenges Ensuring capacity of the movement within national settings Efficient use of MQSUN resources – country selcection and ToR Development Understanding and enhancing service provision capacity Assessing the exponential growth for coverage How to correctly select nutrition-sensitive interventions within a ‘nutrition framework’ Assessing impact of nutrition-sensitive (Columbia and List) Promotion of learning between national platforms Understanding the links between existing budgets Designing and installing pooled or ‘top-up’ mechanisms Links with private industries National level resource development (CS )

  37. Outline

  38. Outline Introduction (Susan Horton) Opportunity to attract even greater support The food price crisis of 2007 helped reverse international complacency We know more about “what works” – Lancet Interventions (direct) MDG’s have helped to focus attention on investment not only social benefits, but also economic benefits Amassing international funding for nutrition came from global costing Exercises – World Bank The 2013 “Nutrition for Growth” – ambitious targets Individual country costing efforts are the essential next step. Costing a plan is key to the process of prioritisation – actions / sequence / then adaptation and decentralisation 20 Countries have invested in this process

  39. Outline • Overview David Nabarro • National plans for scaling-up nutrition include: • (a) Improvements in people’s access to nutrition specific interventions, • (b) The adoption of nutrition - sensitive strategies in related sectors, • (c) Explicit functions to enable stewardship & synergised working of stakeholders. • The costing of these plans is most valuable if it includes the following • elements: • A well-defined population for enhanced access to nutrition interventions • Clarity of national targets well as up to date estimates of projected coverage • Definition of multi-stake holder platforms & performance monitoring mechanisms • Reliable unit costs for interventions • Well justified costs for the stewardship of joint actions • Incorporating costs of existing plans including labour and fixed costs
