BSFP – what is it about ? • BSFP interventions have different OBJECTIVES & AIM - vary from context and implementing agencies. • Very much used in emergencies • Costly and clearly defined in time and geographical area • Target specific group with high coverage expected • Limited evidence in terms of IMPACT so far • Nor good guidance to monitor and evaluate the quality of programmes.

M&E framework for BSFPs interventions Core set of indicators : • WHAT ? WHICH ? HOW ? • Does one size fit all at a minimum ? • How to distinguish between process and impact ? BRAINSTORM following the outcomes of two BSFP impact evaluations (Save the Children (2010), CDC (2011-12). “indicators, which assess the delivery of the appropriate commodities and services to all the right beneficiaries at the right time”
Conclusions • Work in progress with increasing experience from NGOs and UN agencies and need to document the intervention • Need to discuss and share experience, lessons learned and recommendations • Need to develop a M&E framework • Sustain operational research to measure impact. • Lobby donor to ensure BSFP is part of nutrition intervention portfolio until no other evidence
