National Food Policy Capacity Strengthening Programme
(NFPCSP)
Training on Assessment of Nutritional Status
Date : 18-22 December 2011,
Venue: FPMU Meeting Room
The Training is organized by the National National Food Policy Capacity Strengthening Programme (NFPCSP) . The

2. Outline
Introduction
Food security concept, Relationships within the food security
framework, Narrowing the “nutrition gap”
Data for food security policies

3. Agriculture and nutrition
Narrowing the gap between what foods are available and
what foods are needed for a healthy diet
Diets are often low in quantity, quality and variety (hunger
and micro-nutrient deficiencies)
Increased production of staple foods is not sufficient
Need to ensure local availability and access of the right
mix of foods in all seasons
Consumers must be informed through mainstreaming
BCC
Collaboration must be established with : (a) social
protection programmes to support the poorest and (b)
with health, agriculture, food & multi sectors/programmes

4. Data for food security policy
The 4 Cs: Essential features
Core of National Policy Frameworks (NFP, NFP PoA,
CIP,
6 5YP, NNS –PIP)
Consistency with national sources - FS& N indicators
in policies, National Surveys (INFS –NNS, BDHS,
HIES, MICS,HFSNA)
Continuity for monitoring ( National monitoring
systems/processes)
Collaboration for data sharing, analysis and
communication (electronic FS systems)

5. The policy framework: National food
policy
A comprehensive framework for food security
interventions
encompassing
Availability: Adequate and stable supply of
safe and nutritious food
Access: Increased purchasing power and
access to food by the poor through safety
nets
Nutrition: for all individuals, especially
women and children
Approved in August 2006 as result of a policy process
started in 1999 at the Development Forum in Paris after the

6. The Policy Framework: NFP Plan of Action
(2008-2015)
Elaborated through a widely
consultative process, approved in 2008
and launched in 2009 consists of:
26 areas of intervention
and 314 actions providing a
comprehensive, long-term (2008-2015)
framework for:
Coordinating government interventions on food security: policies and
investments
Aligning development support to national priorities in line with Paris
Declaration on Aid Effectiveness
Regularly monitoring progress toward food security in line with MDG1
Identifying needs for investments

7. Country investment plan (CIP)
Responding to L’Aquila Initiative and
in line with the 5 Rome Principles, the
CIP was first Approved on 14 June 2010.
Coherent set of 12 strategic priority
investment programmes
Aligned with the National Food Policy Plan
of Action, to ensure comprehensiveness
Embedded in the Sixth Five Year Plan to
ensure consistency
Focus on government investments
included in the Annual Development
Budget
The CIP, based on extensive consultation, incorporates over 400 projects of which
154 ongoing (for US$ 2.8 billion) and 257 in pipeline (for US$ 5.06 billion of which
US$ 3.4 billion are priority).

17. Issues and Policy Challenges
Average calorie intake well below the FAO recommended
level; rural urban divide
U5 underweight almost stagnant >>> specific program
intervention
Calorie intake from cereal still very high >>> food and diet
diversification cereals and other foods
Still 1/4 of adult women suffer from CED
Anemia prevalence among women increasing (!!)
People suffering from FBD and WBD still significant
(around 9% for diarrhea only)
Data heterogeneity; non-availability
