The purpose of this evaluation is to evaluate the nutrition sector's performance in the Rohingya humanitarian response before and after the sector's service network "rationalisation". The term "rationalisation" is used in terms of reference for describing the process of cutting the number of nutrition facilities, concentrating nutrition services under a single roof of the integrated nutrition facilities (INF) through the restructured nutrition service's network in the Rohingya camps. In 2019, the sector initiated the nutrition service's network rationalisation process. The objectives for the service rationalisation included:
1) To prevent increasing service duplication in the Rohingya camps;
2) To optimise the staffing in the nutrition facilities;
3) To provide all services through the “one-stop-shop” services for improving utilisation of full spectrum of nutrition services (i.e. OTP, TSFP, BSFP);
4) To ensure the service continuity for children transferring from OTP to TSFP treatment programme (recovery) and prevention of defaulting SAM and MAM children; and
5) To ensure efficient use of the allocated funds in the Rohingya camps.
The rationalisation process was completed by the end of 2019 and further strengthened in 2020.
The nutrition sector's coordination unit completed the quantitative analysis of the sector performance before and after the rationalisation. The preliminary internal analysis of the sector performance in 2019 and 2020 showed steady progress in coverage and accessibility of the life-saving nutrition services in 2020 after the sector's service network rationalisation in 2020. The planned formative evaluation will support conclusions on the outcomes of the rationalisation and inform the sector partners about the next steps of the sector's reforms.
