Evaluation of the Integrated Supplementary Feeding Programme (ISFP)
Overview
To evaluate the criteria, appropriateness, value, impact and effectiveness of the ISFP as a response to the triple threat of drought, HIV/AIDS and poverty and use these findings to contribute to the further development of national MoH protocols and policies for ISFPs in Mozambique, as well as for UNICEF and WFP future programming.
The specific objectives were:
1) To assess the effectiveness of the process of the Supplementary Feeding Programme in terms of coverage (Vitamin A, de-worming, MUAC screening), CSB distribution, participatory education, implementation arrangements (financial aspects, human resources);
2) To assess the impact of the ISFP looking at the nutritional status of children, and improved knowledge and practices for diarrhoea prevention and treatment, and for young child feeding;
3) To identify the key constraints of the ISFP;
4) To analyse the value and appropriateness of the ISFPs in the context of Mozambique, the criteria for the establishment and phasing out ISFP interventions, and to review the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of the ISFP intervention in comparison with other potential alternatives;
5) To document lessons learnt for emergency preparedness and for future emergency response (short-term vs long-term) in nutritional interventions, especially in relation to ISFPs, and propose a way forward for future UNICEF/WFP programming to address emergency and underlying causes of malnutrition;
6) To contribute to the further development of national MoH protocols and policies on supplementary feeding interventions;
7) To contribute to the strengthening of WFP/UNICEF collaboration for nutritional and food security, and HIV/AIDS.
