This document summarizes Cathy Hsu's senior project and optional rotations with the World Food Programme in Angola from June to August 2006. It includes an overview of Angola's history and current situation, WFP's SMI maternal and child health program, and three projects Cathy completed: 1) conducting focus groups with women in SMI to understand the program, 2) analyzing nutrition survey data, and 3) assessing a displaced community's nutrition status. The focus groups provided preliminary positive results about prenatal care and barriers like transportation. Data analysis found high rates of stunting, underweight children, and vaccine coverage. The nutrition assessment found moderate malnutrition but no severe cases, allowing WFP to discontinue aid.

POSHAN District Nutrition Profiles (DNPs) draw on diverse sources of data to compile a set of indicators on the state of nutrition and its cross-sectoral determinants. The profiles are intended to be conversation-starters at the district level and to enable discussions about why undernutrition levels are high, and which factors, at multiple levels, might need to be addressed to improve nutrition.

Adequate nutrition requires caring practices,
such as exclusive breastfeeding, the protection
of child health and adequate food and water
security and pregnant mother care programs.
This presentation gives an outline on:
- identifying what data are needed to characterize the nutrition situation
- tracking progress in policies and programs at global, regional, and country level
- becoming familiar with common data sources for obtaining nutrition indicators
- identifying priority information gaps for nutrition measurement in the West Africa Region

Speaker: Ms Zamazulu Mtshali – Deputy Manager for the Integrated Nutrition Programme (INP), KwaZulu-Natal Department of Health
Ms Mtshali's presentation will highlight studies that show the presence of nutritional transition in KwaZulu-Natal, where both under and over-nutrition are prevalent. Within the context of the HIV and AIDS pandemic and food insecurity, the high prevalence of under-nutrition, micronutrient deficiencies and emergent over-nutrition presents a complex series of challenges.
Over the years, significant gains have been made with regards to scaling up nutrition, with the development of policies and guidelines for the implementation of nutrition strategies. There is now a renewed focus on specific priority groups for nutrition interventions to have a bigger impact.

Tackling child undernutrition at scale: Insights from national and subnational success cases
Co-Organized by IFPRI and Exemplars in Global Health
APR 1, 2021 - 09:30 AM TO 11:00 AM EDT
Dr C. Dustin Becker, Leeroy Joshua and Dorothy Tavoa of the School of Natural Resources and Applied Sciences from the Solomon Islands National University undertook a rapid country scan on the agriculture-nutrition nexus in 2015. The scan was commissioned by CTA and provides a snapshot of the policies and programmes in the nation.
1. World Food Programme Angola Senior Project and Optional Rotation June 5, 2006 – August 4, 2006 Cathy Hsu
2. Overview Introduction to Angola Current situation in Angola WFP Angola’s SMI program Projects done in Angola Senior project: Focus groups with women Side project: Data analysis Side project: Community nutrition assessment Conclusions
3. Introduction to Angola Colonized by the Portuguese Independence in 1975 Quickly followed by a civil war Cease-fire in 2002
4. Current situation in Angola Rich with diamonds, oil, and fertile land 70% of population under the poverty line 4 million people displaced from the war Heavily mined country interior Devastated infrastructure: transportation, sanitation, education, health systems
5.
6.
7. Maternal and Child Health in Angola Maternal mortality: 1850/100000 Hemorrhaging Malarial and iron-deficiency anemia Infant mortality: 150/1000 Malaria Vaccine preventable diseases Vitamin A deficiency Reduce by increasing attendance of women at prenatal and postpartum health care.
8. Saude Materno Infantil (SMI)Maternal and Child Health Distribute food rations to women attending prenatal and postpartum health centers Goals To reduce maternal and infant mortality through increased usage of health services To improve the nutrition status of pregnant and lactating women and infants
9.
10. SMI Rations provided: Corn-soy blend, fortified maize meal, vitamin A fortified oil, iodized salt Two areas Rural Huambo Peri-urban Viana
11.

13.
14. 1. Senior Project: Focus Groups Conduct focus groups with pregnant women at health centers implementing SMI 8 focus groups 4 in Huambo 4 in Viana 2 small 2 large 2 small 2 large
15.
16. Methods Received IRB approval from Medford Social Sciences At each health center 6-8 women were recruited to participate All women were orally consented Asked questions regarding: Health care access Health care quality Food rations
17.
18.
19.
20.
21. Preliminary results All women believe that prenatal care is very important for a good pregnancy outcome. Women in semi-urban areas have more sources for health information than women in rural areas. Women make health center choices based on quality of health care provided. Quality of care suffers from inadequate medication supply. Adequate transportation is a barrier to health care access.
22. Preliminary Results Knowledge of the importance of mosquito nets has not translated into the practice of using mosquito nets. All women breastfeed for 1-2 years, but knowledge and practice of exclusive breastfeeding varies. Food rations are not a universally motivating component of the program. Most women spend less money the month that they receive the rations.
23. 2. Side project: Data analysis Data from Government of Angola survey 214 children under five Huambo province Nutritional, household, health information Software used Epi-Info for stratified frequency and means WHO Anthro 2005 for z-score calculations ArcView for chloropleth maps of data
24. Results Average household size: 5.5 Average prenatal consults: 5.1 7% of children were wasted 28% of children were underweight 60% of children were stunted 73% of children received vitamin A 55% of children received measles vaccine
26. 3. Side project: Nutrition assessment UNITA community of displaced people WFP Angola to continue or end assistance Conduct an assessment of nutrition status of children under five 57 Children Weight, height, MUAC History of sickness, vitamin A, measles vacc Clinical indicators of severe malnutrition
27.
28. Results Wasted: 10% Underweight: 18% Stunting: 26% 32% had diarrhea in past 2 weeks 33% had ARI in past 2 weeks 93% had measles vacc and vitamin A No children had edema, Bitot spots, cheilosis, angular stomatitis
