Table 6.6: (continued) Agency Intervention Timeframe Main areas Objectives Activities Target Sites Ethiopian Health and Nutrition Research Institute (EHNRI), Ministry of Health Various studies Merger of 3 institutions since 1995 – former Ethiopian Nutrition Institute existed from 1952 – 1995. Basic research as opposed to previous basic & applied research To conduct research on diseases of public health importance To undertake nutrition research with the view to assess nutritional impact in Ethiopia To carry out research on traditionally used drugs & medical practices alongside modern drug research thereby supporting activities for health improvement in the country Studies: • Micronutrient study on deficiency prevalence (especially vitamin A, iodine, iron). Undertaken in all regions except Somali region. Results should be ready by end-2005. • Completed mother-child health study on breast-feeding and complementary feeding. • Maternal malnutrition study now being conducted. • Food stud yon technology introduction and diet-related diseases (cardiovascular diseases) and food analysis. This is being done in cooperation with food industries. • Training: used to conduct training for government officials but then decision taken to teach communities, a manual was developed. However, a big gap in training for government officials was left. Communities at various levels Federal level only Roles definition A branch of the Ministry of Health Partners Training Tools developed Challenges Sustainability MOH, MOARD, DPPC, ESTC, ERO, Universities, UN, NGO, Training based on request Previous ENI training tools Mandate was reduced to research only, due to lack of resources. Work force shortages and consequent limited capacity. Government institution Lessons learnt Current EHNRI is the merger of three institutions but the epidemiology of nutrition in Ethiopia would require a larger mandate, similar to that of the old ENI. The NNS could open a dialogue on re-launching its mandate. 174
Table 6.6: (continued) Agency Intervention Food Security Bureau, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development Productive Safety Nets Program (PSNP) Timeframe since 2005 Main areas Objectives Activities Target Sites Poverty reduction Enhance productivity while delivering cash transfers or food aid. Nutrition is not an explicit component of PSNP • Safety Net Activities: i) Labor-intensive public work to provide grants to households whose adults participate in public works. ii) Direct support through grants to households who are labor-poor and cannot undertake public works. • Institutional Support: i) capacity building at community level to strengthen beneficiary identification; ii) strengthening of local level planning; financial management, procurement, and technical training at woreda and regional level to ensure adequate sub-projects design and rapid response mechanisms; and iii) support to the development of an M&E framework and program Management Information System Chronically food insecure households within food insecure woredas. Beneficiaries include: orphans, pregnant and lactating mothers, elderly households, other labor-poor, high risk households with sick individuals (such as people living with HIVIAIDS), femaleheaded households with young children Tigray, Amhara, Oromiya, SNNP, rural Harari and Dire Dawa Roles definition Food Security Bureau at regional and woreda levels Partners Training Tools developed Challenges Sustainability World Bank, USAID, DfID, WFP, DCA, CID A, EU Training of Trainers system with cascade of training from regional to kebele levels. Program Implementation Manual • There may be fragmentation and limited communication across groups, especially since safety nets were introduced (a new structure in addition to DPPC). • Hierarchical process (region, zone, woreda) implies that there is considerable information available, but in a fragmented form because of lack of integration in the information system. Government does not intend for this to be a permanent program. Lessons learnt N/A 175
