Sudan CHF 2012 1st Round Sector Defense Sector: Nutrition Jan 18th , 2012
CHF Sector priorities • Out-patient Therapeutic Programmes (OTP), integrated and with prevention activities for Pregnant and Lactating Women • Most cost effective way to treat children with severe acute malnutrition • Integrated programmes within health facilities, as more sustainable and cost effective • Core pipeline for therapeutic feeding • Difficultto fund OTP nutrition programmes • Darfur and the East, transitional areas more likely to get bi-lateral donor funding
CHF Geographical priorities • Areas with prevalence of Global Acute Malnutrition (GAM) over emergency thresholds (15%). • Populations in current crisis which could trigger a nutrition crisis. • No access = no data but areas without access are probably the most at risk.
Sector strategy for addressing priorities • Core pipeline for therapeutic food • UNICEF managed • Cost effective in-terms of economies of scale • Total cost for core pipeline in 2011 15 million USD for treating 150,000 • Drugs added to core pipeline • Out-patient therapeutic programs • NGO/Government managed • Integrated into health services (cost saving and sustainable) • Need to expand coverage • Need further partners
Evidence to supportidentified priority needs • Estimated number of children with SAM in Sudan 500,000 per year (16.4% GAM above emergency thresholds)(SHHS 2010) • Localized surveys confirm similar results (32 of total 48 localized surveys conducted in 2011 GAM was above 15%). • Increased coverage • 2008: 17,000 • 2010: 60,000 • 2011: estimated to be over 70,000 • Increased conflict and lack of access will affect markets and now three localities are predicted to be at emergency levels (IPC Level 4; FEWS NET Dec 2011).
WHY CHF Fundingis critical now • Therapeutic pipeline needs to be secured to ensure that there is no rupture in stock • Hunger season is predicted to start earlier and be deeper than last year so more children at risk (conflict, drought) • Urgent need to ensure as much capacity on the ground as possible to meet these increasing needs
Value for money &low indirect costs • The most cost effective intervention chosen as priority intervention • Out patient Versus Inpatient • Comparisons of programs and costs • Number of children treated/cost • High cost programs were either not supported or asked to reduce budget
Summary of TRG-endorsed proposals 1 • Total Recommended Sector Envelope: 5,933,918 USD • Total requested amount / Total TRG-recommended amount: • requested: 14,668,151 • recommended: 5,933,918 • Total projects: 21 projects submitted, 14 projects to receive funding • Recommended percentage: • 25% UN, • 69% INNGO, • 6% NNGO (all that applied)
Summary of TRG-endorsed proposals 2 • Total Recommended Sector Envelope versus historical trend or basis for envelope: • 2011: 5,960,960, • 2010: 3,950,000 • 2009: 4,345,167 • 2008: 5,233,812 • Approach to determining project allocation amounts • Top programs funded, programs that were seen to be of high cost cut, and higher costed programs were reduced.
