NUTRITION – IS IT REALLY THAT IMPORTANT………

The consequences of malnutrition include childhood morbidity and mortality, poor physical

and mental development and school performance, and reduced adult size and

capacity for physical work

This in turn has an impact on economic productivity at the national level (WHO, 1995a)

All 4 regions experienced significantreduction in “stunting”

Analysis from HKI data shows that stunting, in the same districts,decreased from 45% in 2006 to 40% in 2010 (only 1.4 PPs per annum)

Average reduction nationwide is 1.3 PP / annum and ONLY 0.3 PP for the poorest quintile

SHOUHARDO achieved 4.5 PP / annum

Only 10% HHs at endline confirmed assistance from other agencies

WHAT MAKES SHOUHARDO UNIQUE……………

This project stands apart from its predecessors in thatit is the first large-scale development program that, inaddition to direct nutrition interventions, including

food aid, addressed a broad range of structural causesspecific to the population in its area of operation using

a rights-based, livelihood approach

(Tim Frankenberger)

So in conclusion……………

Stunting prevalence fell by an extraordinary 4.5 PP per year

Empowering Women is KEY

Common issues serve as a CATALYST to galvanize communities

Communities and Key Stakeholders must be involved from the outset

SHOUHARDO IMPACT DEMONSTRATES THAT TO BRING ABOUTCONCRETE IMPACT LEADING TO SUSTAINABLE “SELF

RESILIENCY”REQUIRES A COMBINATION OF APPROACHES TOUCHING ON

THE SPECTRUM OF “LIVELIHOOD” REQUIREMENTS OF A HH /

COMMUNITY

Quote of the Week: - “In order to support a population this large, we'll need to double global food production. All while a changing climate leads to warmer temperatures, more erratic rains and longer, more vicious droughts. The only way we're going to get ahead of this curve is to fight poverty and spur economic growth is to take advantage of three critical opportunities today.

1. We have to help communities build real resilience to disasters-so that droughts don't shatter development gains or give rise to instability.

2. We need to strengthen food security and drive economic growth.

3. And we need to help countries reap a demographic dividend-focusing on efforts that ensure all children can enjoy healthy, productive lives.”

– USAID Administrator Rajiv Shah, Global Philanthropy Forum, April 16, 2012
