BANGLADESH: Dynamics of Rural Growth: Outreach and Dissemination (TF0A1834)

The grant is to inform policies and actions to strengthen and sustain the enabling environment for more rapid growth, and for food and nutrition security in Bangladesh. The study on the Dynamics of Rural Growth, which was financed by SAFANSI I, undertook a comprehensive analysis of the patterns and drivers of rural growth, food security and nutritionally-sensitive growth. It analyzed the past patterns of growth, drivers of on- and off-farm productivity, evolution of farm level diversification. It formally established a causal link between agriculture, through production diversity, to dietary diversity and ultimately to nutritional outcomes. It also examined the alternative growth strategies and their impacts on food and nutritional outcomes – through dietary diversity – on households through an economy-wide model. These findings have important policy and strategy implications for Bangladesh. This grant, financed follow-on dissemination and outreach activities, including publication of the final report and key background papers, a broad dissemination workshop, and targeted outreach activities to selected policy makers, government staff and in-country practitioners and donor partners.

BANGLADESH: Leveraging information technology to achieve better nutritional outcomes in the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT), Bangladesh

This Bank-executed project’s objective is to enhance knowledge and behavioral practices that improve the intake of nutritious foods among women of reproductive age and children under the age of 5 in the Chittagong Hill Tracts. This will be achieved by developing digital content through a participatory process involving community members to promote consumption of nutritious indigenous foods threatened by an increasing influx of nutritionally void packaged food products. Communities will be trained and mentored on general nutrition, healthy and nutritious food preparation and be provided with a platform to demonstrate, share and disseminate cooking videos using simple technology. These activities are expected to contribute to the promotion of readily available and accessible nutritious foods [inclusive of indigenous foods in the CHT area] that support a sustainable system for food and nutrition security in the area.

BHUTAN: Capacity development and communication for improved nutrition outcomes in rural households

The project will improve dietary diversity and care practices of pregnant and nursing women in remote rural areas in Bhutan which will address malnutrition in the first 1,000 day window of opportunity. This will be carried out by identifying change agents and drivers of food habits to develop materials and collaboratively engage target groups in behavior change communication (BCC) activities in Samtse Dzongkhag. The two proposed components follow a BCC theory of change. By way of a series of studies and pilots, digital content, participatory platforms, and/or exposure visits will be developed and organized. Furthermore, the project will strengthen the enabling environment for GAFSP-funded FSAPP by rooting the project in very specific social contexts, distilling and aiming to address the multiple drivers of malnutrition. This will help ensure both acceptability of interventions among involved communities, sustainability of improved practices and potential for scaling-up.

INDIA: Social Observatory - Catalyzing Improved Implementation in Projects to Improve Food and Nutrition Security (TF0A1325)

With SAFANSI-I, Social Observatory (SO) was set up to (a) diagnose how market, government, and behavioral failures affect food and nutrition security (FNS) outcomes, (b) use these diagnoses to improve designs of ongoing rural livelihoods development projects in India, such as Bihar Rural Livelihoods Project (JEEVIKA) and Tamil Nadu Empowerment and Poverty Reduction project, and (c) improve the implementation of these interventions by building adaptive capacity. The objective of SAFANSI-II project is to consolidate the work under SAFANSI-I, to further improve adaptive capacity, while improving the diagnosis of how market and government failures affect food security; supporting an experimentation-based approach to improve program design and implementation for FNS outcomes; taking the SO approach to new program interventions that aim to improve the functioning of the top-down public programs for food and nutrition security in India; and seeding a system of adaptive capacity to catalyze implementation for FNS outcomes in one new, nutrition focused programs in South Asia.

Thus far, SO has developed innovative tools and techniques, such as FNS participatory-tracking to improve the adaptive capacity of large-scale projects. The tools have helped substantially improve implementation of four targeted rural livelihoods projects in effectively addressing food and nutrition insecurity. SO has also collected primary data, including food prices paid by poor and rich. The team published 11 notes and reports related to Bihar and Tamil Nadu data collection thus far. SO has measured the extent of differences in prices paid by the poor and rich, within the same village, for the same foods, demonstrated how an intervention can change gender norms in a highly patriarchal society, and developed an important new method to allow large numbers of citizens to measure and track their own progress on food and nutrition security related issues.

There also are 12 articles and briefs about SO on the Bank external websites, and 8 YouTube videos on methodologies and stakeholder interviews. More information is available at the Social Observatory Website.

NEPAL: Impact Evaluations of the Agricultural and Food Security Project (AFSP) and Sunaula Hazar Din (SHD) Community Action for Nutrition Project (TF0A0635)

The project is to undertake impact evaluations (IEs) for the Agricultural and Food Security Project (AFSP) and the SAFANSI I-funded Sunaula Hazar Din (SHD) Community Action for Nutrition Project. The AFSP IE focuses on the impact of the technology adoption and nutrition enhancement components at mid-term. The IE is to measure the impact of (a) AFSP’s agricultural initiatives on yield, income, and nutritional practices, including nutrition-specific interventions, such as kitchen gardens and backyard poultry and (b) Behavior Change Communication (BCC), particularly its adoption of gender and social context. AFSP is financed by the Global Agriculture and Food Security Program (GAFSP), which also finances baseline and endline surveys. In filling the critical gap to inform the design and implementation, SAFANSI-II is to finance mid-term IE and dissemination. The firm selection is on-going, and the data collection is expected to commence in September 2016.

SHD IE is to assess, through a household survey, effectiveness of an innovative Rapid Results Approach (RRA), by which communities are motivated to achieve a self-selected goal in 100 day cycles on nutrition outcomes and community development. The quantitative survey will measure, in particular, impact on goal setting and nutrition outcomes in having a woman-led community rapid results team and/or being encouraged by an external expert base on their nutrition profile. Building on the baseline supported by the DFAT-funded SUNITA work under SAFANSI-I, SAFANSI-II finances mid-term IE, a small endline survey, and dissemination. Despite delays due to earthquake and fuel crisis, the mid-term IE completed data collection. The preliminary data analysis indicates moderate impact of the SHD intervention on some of the main indicators (e.g., % of pregnant women taking IFA supplements for 180 days, % of households reporting using improved toilet facilities, etc.). However, it is not clear how it relates to goal choice at village level, which will be further analyzed together with the SAFANSI-II financed qualitative survey (see below). The mid-term IE, together with the qualitative survey, is expected to influence policies and support SHD scale up.

NEPAL: Qualitative Assessment and Knowledge Enhancement of Community-Driven Nutrition Project (TF0A1374)

The objective of this grant is to improve the evidence base and understanding of the design and process of Sunaula Hazar Din (SHD, Community Action for Nutrition Project) at the community level. Paying special attention to gender and social inclusion perspectives (e.g., low caste and ethnic minorities), the evidence on the nutritional outcomes and social dynamics generated by the study will provide strong design and implementation inputs to SHD, and to dialogues on health and nutrition improvement in Nepal.  Key research questions include how goals are selected at the community level; what roles coaches play in achieving goals; how having a female leader influences the RRA outcomes; how the communities perceive success and failure of the initiatives; and why certain groups succeed and others fail. Given the mega-earthquake that hit the country in April 2015, the study questions and methodologies will take into account the influence the earthquake might have had on the approach and intended outcomes.

NEPAL: Women’s Enterprising Initiatives to Ensure Community Food and Nutrition Security in Upland Nuwakot (TF0A2708)

The grant aims to increase opportunities for improved food and nutrition security of targeted communities in Nuwakot district through winter food production, and training seed banks, food preservation, and food enterprise development/management. Prior to the earthquake, Nuwakot was categorized as minimally food insecure with a pre-existing global acute malnutrition prevalence of 9.9%. However, after the earthquake, the district was classified as one of the most food insecure districts in Nepal, because agricultural production has been interfered by displacement of families, damage to land, and disruption of livelihood supply chains. The project is implemented by the Federation of Business and Professional Women in Nepal (FBPWN), with support from the Tarayana Foundation in Bhutan, which includes a (a) donation of 1,000 packs of germinated winter vegetable seeds, (b) training farmers, mostly women, in organic vegetable production, (c) training the farmers in community food bank management, food preservation techniques, and nutrition/meal design and preparation education, and (d) providing business development services to producers to create sustainable food enterprises that can continue to serve local markets.

SRI LANKA: Integrating Nutrition Promotion and Rural Development (INPARD) (TF0A1146)

The grant development objective of the INPARD program is to investigate whether a multi-sectoral rural development program can be utilized to deliver nutrition promotion intervention within rural Sri Lanka and whether this is effective in improving nutrition outcomes. Building on social capital developed by a Bank-financed community driven development project, ReAwaking Project (RaP), in conflict-affected North East Province, SAFANSI-I financed Integrating Nutrition Promotion and Rural Development (INPARD) Project. INPARD supported nutrition promotion activities implemented through multi-sectoral government stakeholders, including health, agriculture, rural development, administration, education, fisheries and Samurdhi (poverty eradication national program). INPARD’s multi-sectoral approach in nutrition generated substantial interests in academia and among international agencies. In 2015, INPARD was presented at a symposium on multi-sectoral approaches to nutrition promotion hosted by Sri Lanka Medical Association Scientific Sessions, Global Food Security Conference in Ithaca, and International Society for Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity (ISBNPA) in Edinburgh, and WHO’s dialogues on non-communicable disease prevention. It will also be presented at the International Union for Health Promotion and Education (IUHPE) conference in Brazil in May 2016.

The SAFANSI II program finances a follow-up impact evaluation and dissemination activities. It is envisaged that the evaluation, composed of household survey and multi-stakeholder focus group discussions, is to build evidence to demonstrate linkages between health and nutrition outcomes and their upstream determinants, such as socioeconomic context, education, occupation, and income. The team completed data collection, and data are being analyzed. The results will be shared at two regional workshops with multi-sectoral teams (consisting of consists of stakeholders from health, agriculture, rural development, administration, education, fisheries and Samurdhi (poverty eradication national program), amongst others), and presented at a South Asian Symposium later in 2016.

Additionally, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) agenda has highlighted the promotion of health by preventing non-communicable diseases (NCDs) through SDG three. The INPARD project shows how the food and nutrition security agenda could be linked with the poverty eradication agenda and the NCD prevention agenda. The World Health Organization has already recognized INPARD as a case study to show how UN system can work together to link these SDG (1, 2 and 3) and develop programs with multi-sectoral approaches.
