Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s goals require a participatory gender analysis which highlights the separate needs of women, men, girls and boys in terms of food security, the intersection between a context of ongoing military occupation and food insecurity in Palestine, as well as an understanding of the importance of a gender analysis in contexts where social injustices preside. Results of this gender analysis help Â鶹ÊÓƵ design targeted activities that are effective, efficient, empowering and transformative.
The closure of schools across the region due to the COVID-19 pandemic, has meant that large numbers of vulnerable children have been unable to access formal learning, school meals and selected nutrition and health services for extended periods. School meals provided at school contribute vital nutrients to the children¡¯s diets, while acting as a motivation for school attendance particularly for the most marginalized and needy children. Equally important is the access to basic preventive and promotive health and nutrition services, such as the delivery of iron supplements, de-worming, and oral health and nutrition checks that are provided via the school platform. Therefore, there is an urgency for putting multi-sectoral measures in place to build back better and protect and enhance the nutrition and health outcomes of school children as they return to school.
This document has been developed by Â鶹ÊÓƵ and UNICEF Eastern and Southern Africa Regional Offices and provides a non-exhaustive list of recommended multi-sectoral actions for Government, UNICEF, Â鶹ÊÓƵ and other partners to consider as part of their short and longer-term planning for and implementation of school reopening. Part one of this checklist is focused on key nutrition actions, with part two focusing on child protection, WASH, education and health actions. The actions are divided into those that should be put in place prior to schools re-opening, and after schools have opened.
In Ghana, the SBCC strategy which was a part of a stunting and micronutrient prevention programme was planned to serve as a vehicle to promote the consumption of locally produced SNFs and other locally available nutritious foods; serve as feedback mechanism to the distribution of SNFs and non-SNFs; improve attendance to health services (Antenatal, Postnatal and Child Welfare Clinics ¨C ANC, PNC and CWC); and for adoption of positive lifestyles.
These challenging times, brought on by the global COVID-19 pandemic, compel humanitarian and development agencies like Â鶹ÊÓƵ to demonstrate innovation, efficiency, and perseverance to keep meeting the needs of vulnerable populations through the delivery of quality services. Â鶹ÊÓƵ has been working closely with the Government of Uganda and its other partners to ensure that the delivery of essential services such as food and cash, as well as logistical support, continue unhindered and compliant with Government directives during this unprecedented global pandemic.
Here are just of few of the ways Â鶹ÊÓƵ has continued to support Ugandans, and those seeking refuge in Uganda, towards Sustainable Development Goal 2: Zero Hunger during the COVID-19 response
The Economic Vulnerability Index is designed by Â鶹ÊÓƵ Nepal¡¯s Evidence, Policy and Innovation Unit and is part of the existing toolbox of vulnerability analyses, targeting and programming assistance being used by country office and partner organizations.
It has been effectively used to support the targeting of municipalities for Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s Blanket Supplementary Feeding Programme and in Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s Joint Proposal for COVID-19 Livelihood and Economic Recovery in Nepal.
During the current COVID crisis, the Index is particularly useful where applied in combination with tools such as household surveys and government consultations in order to conduct geographical targeting, to calculating affected persons, using methods similar to Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s 72-Hour Approach, and can also be used as a basis to prioritize more in-depth food security and vulnerability analyses.
The MTR of the rCRF takes stock of how the current CRF responds to the corporate need to measure achievements in programme and management performance, identifies areas for improvement and recommends the way forward for the next CRF cycle. This document is a two-page summary of the full report.
Le Programme Alimentaire Mondial (PAM) op¨¨re dans un environnement o¨´ la concurrence pour les ressources s'intensifie. Dans ce contexte, le ciblage des populations vuln¨¦rables est essentiel au succ¨¨s de toute forme de r¨¦ponse. Du point de vue de l'efficacit¨¦ et de la responsabilisation, le PAM doit utiliser les moyens disponibles et innovants pour optimiser les m¨¦thodes utilis¨¦es afin de garantir que ceux qui en ont le plus besoin re?oivent une assistance.
Ce guide m¨¦thodologique sur le ciblage s¡¯inscrit dans le cadre des activit¨¦s de pr¨¦paration et de r¨¦ponses aux urgences du PAM Mali. En effet, il part d¡¯une volont¨¦ :
? De rappeler les notions et d¨¦finitions de base associ¨¦es au ciblage et des questions transversales telles que la protection et le genre ;
? D¡¯harmoniser les m¨¦thodes de ciblage entre les partenaires coop¨¦rants du PAM tout en reconnaissant le besoin de s¡¯adapter au contexte ;
? D¡¯am¨¦liorer les approches de ciblage dans des contextes humanitaires difficiles en fournissant les outils adapt¨¦s.
This June 2020 update provides a snapshot of the measures Â鶹ÊÓƵ has put in place to sustain its operations amidst an unprecedented COVID-19 crisis. It provides up-to-date projections of food security needs due to the economic impacts and measures taken to contain the virus, Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s scale-up plan to address needs, and how Â鶹ÊÓƵ is partnering with governments in this joint effort.
Â鶹ÊÓƵ Supply Chain plays a pivotal role in the fight against hunger, enabling the organization to save and change lives worldwide. Read this annual report to learn more about our work, how we respond to emergencies and how we enabled Â鶹ÊÓƵ to deliver assistance to close to a 100 million people in 2019.
The 2020 GEM Report assesses progress towards Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4) on education and its ten targets, as well as other related education targets in the SDG agenda. The Report also addresses inclusion in education, drawing attention to all those excluded from education, because of background or ability.
Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s Medium-Term Programme Framework (MTPF) responding to the development emergency caused by COVID-19 sets out a high-level vision and new way of working for Â鶹ÊÓƵ to help countries mitigate the socio-economic impacts of the pandemic and build back better. This framework builds on the system-wide L3 emergency activation and covers the period from May 2020 to the end of the year and beyond.
Given its presence in over 80 countries, its enabling and delivery capabilities, and dual roles spanning the UN Development System (UNDS) and the international humanitarian architecture, Â鶹ÊÓƵ is uniquely positioned to support governments and partners to quickly adapt, design and deliver their own interventions.
The MTPF operates through three pillars of intervention that are central to effective, efficient and equitable response and where Â鶹ÊÓƵ has demonstrated value as a partner to governments and others:
1. National social protection systems;
2. Basic service delivery - school-based programmes and nutrition; and
3. Food systems.
Cutting across these pillars are three areas through which Â鶹ÊÓƵ and its partners can provide tailored support to national responses ¨C data and analytics, programme and policy advice, and operational support.
The MTPF embodies a shift in how Â鶹ÊÓƵ will integrate its capacities, efforts, and partnerships to achieve the highest overall impact in the face of expanding and changing needs brought on by the pandemic.
As of 23 June 2020, in Mali, almost 2,001 cases of COVID-19 contamination have been confirmed, including 112 deaths, in nine (9) regions of the country. All seven countries bordering Mali are also affected by COVID. Despite preventive measures taken by the Government of Mali to limit the spread of the virus, the risk that the number of cases of coronavirus infections will increase significantly in the coming weeks is significant.
