Nutrition Cluster briefing WFP and UNICEF Scale up
Nutrition Cluster briefing: WFP and UNICEF Scale up Plan in support of the Nutrition Cluster Response Plan 4 July 2014 Juba World Food Programme
Starting point • Start of year arrangements were on track for acceptable coverage of estimated SAM/MAM cases. • Revised targets reflect significant gaps between needs and planned programme responses. • Coupled with deteriorating humanitarian situation, urgent need to come together, mobilize and maximize resources and approaches.
Process • UNICEF and WFP stocktaking – Ongoing plus High level UNICEF / WFP meeting (23 June) • Follow up consultations with MOH, all UNICEF / WFP partners – direct and via email – and donors (24 -30 June) – Immediate bottlenecks – Collective options to meet gaps – Resources required • Results of consultations incorporated into cluster response matrix (current update to 3 July) – For further vetting by Nutrition Cluster • Consolidated in WFP UNICEF action plan in support of the Nutrition Cluster Response Plan – Overview today, further comment on document, feedback next week

Scale-up Strategies, Actions and Timelines
Overview of strategies • Strategy 1: Optimize nutrition services with existing partners – Bottlenecks, expand PCA/FLAs, process, donor support, expanded protocol areas • Strategy 2: Expand operational partnerships – Health for SC, linking natl-intl, SSRC • Strategy 3: Improve community outreach, screening and referral – Review options, expand PCA/FLAs, donor support, CNV direct implementation (? )
Overview of strategies • Strategy 4: Provision of technical support to enhance service quality – HR on ground, collective training needs/calendar/resources, supervision • Strategy 5: Strengthen existing supply chain management – Global supply, bottleneck analysis at CO, review delivery frequency and storage capacity, funds for logs, strengthen overview based on partner reports (triage), supply logistics workshop
Overview of strategies • Strategy 6: Direct service provision – RRM scenarios, partner RRM/mobile teams, • Strategy 7: Enhanced needs analysis and support for Coordination – Needs analysis asap, survey support, FSMS, prep for IPC – Support to CCPM recommendation
Key Points- short term Resource Issues: • More resources needed for both supplies and implementation • Need to maintain current services, address potential shortfalls as well as expand Supply chain • Critical to have overview of supplies from all partnerstriage (submission on 5 th July, pbayo@unicef. org)
Next steps • Plan of Action document being finalized for further dissemination to donors and Nutrition Cluster SAG for comments (4 July) • Further dissemination to cluster members and other stakeholders (5 July) • How to optimize this contribution to collective cluster scale up planning? • What else is needed/missing? • Milestones and mutual accountability?
