  4. New Products • CSB +the V&M premix has been enhanced with additional or elevated levels of micronutrients (vitamins B6, D, E and K, iron, iodine, calcium, potassium and phosphorus) • CSB ++improved MN profile, better protein quality by addition of milk powder, dehulled soya (less fibre), oil in product • **Also improved WSB anddevelopment of RSB • Studies undertaken to measure effectiveness, acceptability, shelf life • Increasing use and local production of RUSFs, LNS and MNPs

Experiences with new products • High acceptability of new products by beneficiaries • Easier to handle, transport and distribute (no mixing, measuring) • Some complexity in programming multiple products • May be increased issues with food safety, food storage, food preparation, packaging • Shelf life, pre-positioning issues • Availability

  8. Changes in Programming • Different approaches • Decision trees – to guide programming decisions as well as products • Prevention of micronutrient deficiencies • Cost benefit/cost effectiveness • Improving M&E

  9. MAM treatment – cost of individual treatment Commodity price (US$ / MT) Ration cost (US$/ration) Commodity cost of intervention (US$/ per person) 18.8 (60 days) 92 gr. 45 -60 days 200 gr. 60 days 200 gr. 20 gr. 20 gr. 3’210 including oil and sugar 700 90 days US$ Ration/day Intervention duration
