Integrating Family Planning Into CSHGP and MCH Programsjehill3
The document discusses integrating family planning into maternal and child health programs. It provides historical context and examples of how flexible funds have supported family planning integration. Specific strategies discussed include community-based distribution of contraceptives, increasing postpartum family planning access, mobile family planning services, birth spacing messaging, and integrating abortion prevention and post-abortion care.
This document discusses CTA's SSOANO initiative to strengthen the agriculture-nutrition nexus by building the evidence base. The initiative focuses on (1) increasing access to nutritious food, (2) applying a nutrition lens to agriculture through nutrition-sensitive design, equity, and resilience, (3) strengthening systems through research, policy integration, capacity development, and communication, and (4) piloting interventions to provide evidence on effective options. Case studies and country projects are commissioned to understand local contexts and identify opportunities. The goal is to optimize agriculture and nutrition outcomes by developing a knowledge base and building consensus around integrating nutrition priorities into agriculture policy and programs.
This document provides an executive summary and overview of a research paper on the South African food security paradox. The research objectives were to assess food (in)security in urban and rural areas, review government interventions, evaluate private sector programs, and identify opportunities for corporate social investment. Key findings include that while South Africa produces enough food, 54% of the population experiences hunger or food insecurity, particularly in rural (37%) and urban informal (32%) areas. The document then outlines various government policies and programs, as well as case studies of four private sector food security initiatives focusing on food gardens, school feeding, and smallholder agriculture. It concludes with recommendations around partnership opportunities between government and business to address this issue.
Various national health programs are currently in operation in India to improve public health. This document outlines programs related to communicable diseases, non-communicable diseases, nutrition, system strengthening, and national health policies. It also provides details on key child health programs like the Reproductive and Child Health Program, Universal Immunization Program, Integrated Child Development Services Scheme, and School Health Program. Nutritional programs like the Vitamin A Prophylaxis Program, National Program for Control of Anemia, and National Iodine Deficiency Disorders Control Program are also summarized.
The document outlines activities and priorities for FY14 and FY15 across multiple technical working groups within CORE Group. For FY14, upcoming activities include webinars, workshops, and dissemination of tools/guidance documents. FY15 priorities include expanding community case management programs, strengthening integration of health and development programs, and increasing focus on issues like maternal mental health and pediatric TB. The document provides updates on past accomplishments and outlines many proposed future activities and areas of collaboration between working groups.
This document discusses the Ghana School Feeding Programme (GSFP) as an educational intervention that aims to promote economic growth. The GSFP provides one hot nutritional meal per day to students in public primary schools. The summary is as follows:
The GSFP aims to increase school enrollment, attendance and retention. It also seeks to boost local food production and reduce hunger and malnutrition. While the GSFP has achieved some successes, it faces challenges such as ensuring adequate meal quality and quantity, effective caterer recruitment and training, and proper procurement and monitoring systems. The document examines the GSFP through frameworks such as the change theory and food for education model to understand its impacts and implications for Ghana's economy and development goals.
The document summarizes Thailand's experience in addressing malnutrition from the 1980s to present. Key points include:
1) Thailand successfully reduced undernutrition in the 1980s through multisectoral policies and community-based actions focused on improving nutrition of vulnerable groups.
2) More recently, overnutrition and non-communicable diseases have emerged as major challenges due to lifestyle changes and increased processed food consumption.
3) In 2008, Thailand established the National Food Committee to coordinate multisectoral food and nutrition policies and strategies through a Strategic Framework for Food Management.
GCARD2: Briefing paper Household Nutrition Security (WFP)GCARD Conferences
While the research agenda is growing, there remains limited concrete evidence on how agriculture–nutrition linkages work. A mapping exercise has been completed by DFID/LCIRAH outlining the research gaps. However more nutrition-relevant data from agricultural interventions needs to be generated, collected and shared, and nutritional indicators need to be included in evaluations. LCIRAH identify the need for greater understanding of the pathways from agricultural inputs and practices through value chains to effects on food environment, consumption and nutrition.
Visit the conference site for more information: http://www.egfar.org/gcard-2012
Bien que les programmes de recherche se multiplient, il n'existe pas encore de preuves concrètes sur la façon dont les relations entre l’agriculture et la nutrition fonctionnent. Un état des lieux a été réalisé par DFID/LCIRAH montrant les lacunes de la recherche dans ce domaine. Cependant, d'importantes données nutritionnelles pertinentes doivent être générées, collectées et partagées ; et les indicateurs nutritionnels doivent être inclus dans les évaluations. LCIRAH identifie la nécessité pour une large compréhension des mécanismes depuis les intrants et pratiques agricoles, a travers les chaines de valeur et aux effets sur les aliments, la consommation et la nutrition.

Nutrition element portfolio review usaid_ Roshelle Payes & Rebecca Egan_10.14.11CORE Group
The document discusses USAID's nutrition approach, outlining its principles, components, target areas, and role of operating units. It provides context on the global burden of undernutrition and its causes. It then describes the recent shift in global and USAID nutrition strategies from vertical to integrated approaches, from under-fives targeting to the 1000-day window, from nutrient-specific to diet quality measures, from recuperative to preventive focus, and from health platforms to multi-sectoral delivery. It poses questions about reaching the 30% undernutrition reduction goal and delivering comprehensive nutrition interventions at scale through integrated frameworks.

“The Board approved WFP Gender Policy (WFP/EB.1/2009/5-A/Rev.1) and […] invited the
Secretariat to present to the Board a time-bound corporate action plan with realistic and
measurable targets providing details of the institutional measures to support gender
mainstreaming, including resource requirements.”
Board decision 2009/EB.1/3
$
1. WFP’s new gender policy, “Promoting Gender Equality and the Empowerment of
Women in Addressing Food and Nutrition Challenges”, sets out the framework for the
continued mainstreaming of gender into WFP’s policies, operational processes and
programmes, at all levels.1
2. The policy outlines institutional support measures that are essential for mainstreaming
gender into WFP operations and consistent with main elements of the United Nations
system-wide policy and strategy on gender mainstreaming (CEB/2006/2).
Capacity development
WFP will ensure that staff members develop the capacity to mainstream gender
into their work, including gender analysis.
As part of United Nations country teams (UNCTs) and through its involvement in
Poverty Reduction Strategy (PRS) processes, WFP will advocate for and support
governments and cooperating partners in strengthening their capacity to
incorporate a gender perspective into national food and nutrition plans, policies
and programmes.
Accountability
WFP will improve its accountability systems and review and revise its
accountability tools to incorporate a gender perspective, promote accountability
for gender mainstreaming among its partners, and strengthen its monitoring and
evaluation systems to measure and report on progress in gender mainstreaming,
including tracking and reporting on gender-related allocations and expenditure.2
Partnerships, advocacy and research
WFP will work with its partners to raise awareness of the importance of
promoting gender equality and empowering women to achieve sustainable food
and nutrition security, develop a communications and advocacy strategy on
gender, and transform the gender focal points network into an advocacy network.
WFP will collaborate with academic institutions on research to improve its
policies and programmes and with partners to assess the impact of its
interventions.
WFP will continue to strengthen partnerships at all levels, including work at the
inter-agency level to address gender issues and promote knowledge sharing.

WFP will work with partners to mobilize complementary resources, including
expertise.
Gender mainstreaming in operations
WFP will make it mandatory to incorporate a gender perspective into operations
at all stages of a project cycle and will revise its assessment and evaluation tools
to support this process.
WFP will mobilize resources for the Gender Innovations Fund3
for supporting
country office implementation of innovative activities that promote gender
equality and the empowerment of women.
WFP will launch a gender-friendly/sensitive country office initiative,4
which will
recognize country offices for compliance with measures set out in the policy.
3. The policy also defines programming priorities. These consist of targeted actions for
women, as in the previous policy,5
and new priorities for addressing gaps and emerging
challenges.
4. Targeted actions for women and girls are to continue. They will:
provide food assistance for pregnant and lactating women, children under 5, and
adolescent girls;
give women access to and control over WFP food assistance by making them the
holders of food entitlements, taking the local context into consideration;
facilitate women’s participation in food distribution committees and other decision-
making bodies related to food and nutrition security; and
improve girls’ access to education and reduce the gender gap in education, using take-
home rations (THRs) as an incentive.
5. The following are the new programming priorities, which WFP will implement in
selected countries. In collaboration with its partners, WFP will measure and document the
results and impacts as described below.
3
The Gender Innovations Fund has been created to motivate and support country offices to develop innovative
context-based gender projects that contribute to the outcomes of the gender policy and Corporate Action Plan.
The fund will be managed by the Grants Management Unit under the Resource Management and Accountability
Department. Proposals from country offices will be reviewed by the Grants Committee on the basis of criteria
provided by the Policy, Planning and Strategy Division. Proposals must be appropriate to the context, innovative
and based on gender analysis. They could include, for example, innovative ways of addressing violence against
women during WFP food distributions or of reducing the burden on women related to food distribution by
mobilizing men to collect food or engaging communities to provide transport for food.
4
This initiative recognizes country offices that comply with the gender policy. Designation as
gender-friendly/sensitive will be based on criteria that measure, for example: i) the country director’s
championing of gender equality and the empowerment of women; ii) collection, analysis and use of
sex-disaggregated data; iii) development of staff capacity on gender; iv) mainstreaming of gender into all
projects; v) progress towards a gender balance in staffing; vi) budget for gender; and vii) compliance with food
distribution guidelines to reduce the burden on women and improve their safety. Training in gender audit will
help country offices to carry out self-assessments, and a method for carrying out assessments that lead to
designation will be determined in consultation with regional bureaux and country offices.

(WFP/EB.3/2002/4-A).
6. 6 WFP/EB.2/2009/4-C
Addressing gender-related protection challenges
WFP will continue to promote the protection of its target population and staff
members.
WFP will work to prevent violence against women, girls and children in its
operations; in complex emergencies it will seek to reduce the burden on and
improve the safety of women and girls in camps. As one means of achieving this,
WFP will mobilize resources to provide fuel alternatives and assist the creation of
protection strategies for displaced women and girls.
Integrating a gender perspective into HIV and AIDS programmes
WFP will continue to support inter-agency responses to HIV by using its food
assistance for prevention, mitigation, treatment, support and caregiving activities,
ensuring that a gender dimension is integrated into responses.
Improving mother-and-child health and nutrition (MCHN) programmes
WFP will promote the engagement of men and boys in MCHN programmes.
Improving gender equality through WFP-supported school feeding
WFP will use its school feeding programmes as an entry point for promoting
gender equality during children’s formative years, using innovative advocacy and
learning methods.
Promoting positive gender relations and supporting sustainable livelihoods
WFP will use its food assistance to promote positive gender relations and support
sustainable livelihoods and will implement a robust monitoring system to ensure
that women and men participate in and benefit equally from food-for-training
(FFT) and food-for-work (FFW) activities, cash transfer and voucher
programmes, cash for work, and Purchase for Progress (P4P) projects.
6. The Corporate Action Plan is the operational tool for the WFP gender policy. The plan
covers both the normative and the operational functions of WFP, and translates the gender
policy into actions with verifiable indicators and targets, assigns responsibilities and
indicates resource requirements.
7. The Plan contributes to achievement of WFP’s five Strategic Objectives and
complements the WFP Strategic Results Framework6
with a common monitoring and
evaluation cycle, recommended for optimizing costs.
8. The Plan supports regional bureaux and country offices in the process of incorporating
measurable, context-based gender actions based on gender analysis into their work plans.

supported by adequate corporate tracking and reporting mechanisms;
iii) promoting and strengthening partnerships at all levels for implementation of the
policy;
iv) advocating for gender equality and the empowerment of women in the context of food
and nutrition security, including the engagement of men and boys;
v) continuing the implementation of targeted actions for women and girls, with country
offices establishing targets based on gender analysis, and aiming for equitable
participation, taking the local context into account; and
vi) piloting the new programming priorities in WFP partner countries, in collaboration
with partners, and measuring results, outcomes and impacts.

12. Senior management will provide the leadership for implementing the policy. It will
advocate for gender equality and the empowerment of women in all policy statements
within their respective portfolios.8
Management will make a financial commitment to
supporting gender activities at the country level and will seek extra-budgetary funding to
establish a Gender Innovations Fund to help country offices develop and implement gender
initiatives.9

ANNEX II
%
Gender refers to the social attributes and opportunities associated with being male or
female, the relationships between women and men and girls and boys, and the relations
between women and those between men. These attributes, opportunities and relationships
are socially constructed and are learned through socialization processes. They are
context/time-specific and changeable. Gender determines what is expected, allowed and
valued in a woman or a man in a given context. In most societies there are differences
and inequalities between women and men in responsibilities assigned, activities
undertaken, access to and control over resources, as well as decision-making
opportunities. Gender is part of the broader socio-cultural context. (United Nations Office
of the Special Adviser on Gender Issues and Advancement of Women – OSAGI1
)
Gender analysis is the examination of a social process which considers the roles played
by women and men, including issues such as the division of labour, productive and
reproductive activities, access to and control over resources and benefits, and socio-
economic and environmental factors that influence women and men. Gender analysis
also refers to the systematic investigation of the differential impacts of development on
women and men. (Inter-Agency Standing Committee 2006. Gender Handbook in
Humanitarian Action. Geneva)
Mainstreaming a gender perspective is the process of assessing the implications for
women and men of any planned action […] in all areas and at all levels. It is a strategy
for making women’s as well as men’s concerns and experiences an integral dimension of
[…] policies and programmes […] so that women and men benefit equally and inequality
is not perpetuated. The ultimate goal is to achieve gender equality. (Report of the
Economic and Social Council A/52/3/Rev.1)
Gender equality refers to the equal rights, responsibilities and opportunities of women
and men and girls and boys. Equality does not mean that women and men will become
the same but that women’s and men’s rights, responsibilities and opportunities will not
depend on whether they are born male or female. Gender equality implies that the
interests, needs and priorities of both women and men are taken into consideration […]
Equality between women and men is seen both as a human rights issue and as a
precondition for, and indicator of, sustainable people-centred development (OSAGI1
)
The empowerment of women: concerns women gaining power and control over their
own lives. It involves awareness-raising, building self-confidence, expansion of choices,
increased access to and control over resources and actions to transform the structures and
institutions which reinforce and perpetuate gender discrimination and inequality. The
process of empowerment is as important as the goal. Empowerment comes from within
[…] Inputs to promote the empowerment of women should facilitate women’s
articulation of their needs and priorities and a more active role in promoting these
interests and needs. Empowerment of women cannot be achieved in a vacuum; men must
be brought along in the process of change […] (OSAGI2
)

Targeted actions […] should compensate for the consequences of gender-based
inequality such as the long-term deprivation of rights to education or health care. This is
important as in many situations women and girls are more disadvantaged than men and
boys […] but there are a number of situations where boys or men will be targeted for
action, for example when boys are the target of recruitment for armed conflict […] (Inter-
Agency Standing Committee. 2006. Gender Handbook in Humanitarian Action. Geneva,
p. 3.)

1. Women, men, girls and boys are all affected by emergencies, but there are differences in
their vulnerabilities, responses and coping mechanisms. The immediate reaction in
emergencies is to save lives, but humanitarian interventions must nevertheless be carried
out with gender sensitivity that recognizes these differences and allows the different needs
and priorities of women, men, girls and boys to be addressed more effectively.
2. Gender gaps also tend to be accentuated during humanitarian crises, with women often
assuming the role of head of household while facing increased threats of physical violence
and abuse.
3. WFP assessment tools should be gender-sensitive to capture the different needs and
priorities of women and men. WFP staff should have the capacity to carry out gender
analysis to be better able to respond to these different needs.
4. In emergency situations, WFP assistance should be analysed in terms of its impact on
the vulnerability of women, men, boys and girls, with appropriate measures put in place to
reduce risks where they exist. An example is women going outside of the camp areas to
seek firewood and water in order to prepare food and being put at risk of rape and other
forms of violence.
5. Programmes for the prevention of gender-based violence in the context of emergencies
should be designed along the lifecycle as there are indications of violence against girls and
boys as well as against female elders, widows and orphans. The involvement of men
should be regarded as part of the solution rather than just the problem.

6. WFP’s disaster preparedness and mitigation actions are geared towards strengthening
governments’ preparedness and response capacities and building communities’ resilience
to shocks. The integration of gender into vulnerability assessments and early warning
systems is vital for enhancing efforts to promote the safety of women, their families and
communities. Equally important is the effective participation of both women and men in
decision-making and the planning and implementation of programme activities designed to
enhance communities’ adaptability and response to disasters.

7. After a crisis, the livelihood strategies of women and men may change, making it
necessary to assess the new division of tasks to ensure food security and nutritional well-
being for the household. Livelihood interventions should be designed to strengthen the
capacities of women and men, taking into consideration the differences in their access to
and control over resources.
21. WFP/EB.2/2009/4-C 21
8. In post-conflict situations, gender sensitivity is crucial in ensuring that both women and
men participate in and benefit equally from activities designed to build capacity and create
assets.
9. Designing FFT and FFW activities with a gender dimension means considering not only
the different needs and priorities of women and men, but also the impact of the activities in
terms of benefits for women and men, while assessing and taking into consideration
differences regarding the implications on their time, workloads – including child care
activities – and safety.
10. All tools employed during this transition phase, such as voucher and cash-based
programmes, should be carefully monitored to ensure that women benefit in terms of
access to food, as the main objective of the tool. Sex-disaggregated data should be
accompanied by qualitative data to ascertain that women are actually benefiting from WFP
assistance.

11. The gender dimensions of the causes and consequences of hunger and malnutrition
include how hunger and malnutrition affect women, men, boys and girls differently. The
consequences are also different, with women’s nutrition status having far-reaching
consequences on future generations. Nutrition education is traditionally provided mostly to
women, but chronic hunger and undernutrition can only be reduced if communities –
particulary men – are also made aware of the importance of adequate maternal and child
nutrition.
12. WFP MCHN programmes can be used to break the traditional gender barriers in
caregiving by including men and boys in nutrition and health education activities. Equality
in access to knowledge and information, for women and men, girls and boys, on the
causes, consequences and prevention of maternal and child undernutrition may result in
more positive impacts.
13. WFP’s access to children through its school feeding programme provides opportunities
for promoting gender equality and the empowerment of women and communicating their
importance for development. WFP school feeding programmes are important for reducing
the gender gap in education through THRs for girls, and can also be used as an entry point
to raise children’s awareness of the importance of giving equal opportunities to both girls
and boys.

14. WFP’s capacity-building strategies should support partner countries to adopt and
implement policies that promote the equal participation of women and men in all processes
and decisions that affect their well-being and that of their families. This should include
raising awareness on women’s critical role in the fight to end hunger.
15. WFP, as part of the United Nations country teams and through its involvement in
PRS processes, is well positioned to collaborate with national gender approaches to
address gender issues in a culturally sensitive manner and to advocate for the development
of local capacities.
16. WFP programmes supporting local purchase from small farm-holders will incorporate a
gender perspective in their approach, recognizing the inequality between women and men
in accessing farming inputs, technology, credit, transport, markets and returns.
