(26)-INDICATOR TITLE: HL.9.1-c Women’s Dietary Diversity: Mean number of food groups consumed by women of reproductive age (O)
|
|
Is this a Performance Plan and Report indicator? No ___ Yes ____, for Reporting Year(s) _________
If yes, link to foreign assistance framework:
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
PRECISE DEFINITION(S): This validated indicator aims to measure the micronutrient adequacy of the diet and reports the mean number of food groups consumed in the previous day by women of reproductive age (15-49 years). To calculate this indicator, nine food groups are used:
1. Grains, roots and tubers; 2. Legumes and nuts; 3. Dairy products (milk, yogurt, cheese); 4. Organ meat; 5. Eggs;
6. Flesh foods and other misc. small animal protein; 7. Vitamin A dark green leafy vegetables;
8. Other Vitamin A rich vegetables and fruits; 9. Other fruits and vegetables
The Mean number of food groups consumed by women of reproductive age indicator is tabulated by averaging the number of food groups consumed (out of the nine food groups above) across all women of reproductive age in the sample with data on dietary diversity.
|
|
UNIT OF MEASURE: Number
Please enter these two data points under the appropriate ZOI category (DA/ESF-funded, FFP/CDF-funded, JPC/Resilience-focus):
1. Mean number of food groups consumed by women of reproductive age (15-49 years) in the sample
- 2. Total population of women of reproductive age (15-49 years) in the ZOI
|
|
DISAGGREGATED BY: None
|
|
TYPE: Outcome
|
|
DIRECTION OF CHANGE: Higher is better
|
|
RATIONALE:
Women of reproductive age are at risk for multiple micronutrient deficiencies, which can jeopardize their health and ability to care for their children and participate in income generating activities. Maternal micronutrient deficiencies during lactation can directly impact child growth and development but the potential consequences of maternal micronutrient deficiencies are especially severe during pregnancy, when there is the greatest opportunity for nutrient deficiencies to cause long term, irreversible development consequences for the child in-utero. Dietary diversity (assessed here as the number of food groups consumed) is a key dimension of a high quality diet with adequate micronutrient content; and thus, important to ensuring the health and nutrition of both women and their children.

|
PLAN FOR DATA COLLECTION BY RING
|
|
DATA SOURCE: Population-based survey and official DHS data (see notes below)
|
|
METHOD OF DATA COLLECTION AND CONSTRUCTION:
Although this indicator will be collected in the ZOI by an M&E contractor, USAID/W is also working with HQ and Missions to have WDDS added as a module to the DHS. Missions direct which modules the DHS should add to the default set of survey questions. Focus Countries should request that the WDDS module be added to upcoming DHS for collection of the national-level data.
- LEVEL OF COLLECTION: Feed the Future monitors this indicator in the ZOI (i.e. our targeted sub-national regions/districts targeted by USG interventions) to measure results attributable to Feed the Future assistance. Missions or the M&E contractor should enter ZOI-level values under the “High Level Indicators” mechanism in the FTFMS. If the appropriate module is included in a country’s DHS, missions should also monitor this indicator at the national level. Missions should only enter national-level values into the PPR the year the data become available. Do not enter ZOI values in the PPR.
- HOW SHOULD IT BE COLLECTED: ZOI data are drawn from one of two sources: 1) the DHS, if the appropriate data were collected within the previous two years and a large enough sample was collected from clusters within the ZOI; or 2) primary data collected via a population-based survey conducted in the ZOI by a Feed the Future M&E contractor, using the official DHS method of collection and the Feed the Future M&E Guidance Series pertaining to the specific interim survey (http://feedthefuture.gov/sites/progress).
|

(27)INDICATOR TITLE: HL.9.1-a -Prevalence of children 6-23 months receiving a minimum acceptable diet (RAA)
|
|
Is this a Performance Plan and Report indicator? No ___ Yes ____, for Reporting Year(s) _________
If yes, link to foreign assistance framework:
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
PRECISE DEFINITION(S): This indicator measures the proportion of children 6-23 months of age who receive a minimum acceptable diet (MAD), apart from breast milk. The “minimum acceptable diet” indicator measures both the minimum feeding frequency and minimum dietary diversity, as appropriate for various age groups. If a child meets the minimum feeding frequency and minimum dietary diversity for their age group and breastfeeding status, then they are considered to receive a minimum acceptable diet.
Tabulation of the indicator requires that data on breastfeeding, dietary diversity, number of semi-solid/solid feeds and number of milk feeds be collected for children 6-23 months the day preceding the survey. The indicator is calculated from the following two fractions:
- Breastfed children 6-23 months of age in the sample who had at least the minimum dietary diversity and the minimum meal frequency during the previous day Breastfed children 6-23 months of age in the sample with MAD component data
and
- Non-breastfed children 6-23 months of age who received at least 2 milk feedings and had at least the minimum dietary diversity not including milk feeds and the minimum meal frequency during the previous day Non-breastfed children 6-23 months of age in the sample with MAD component data
Minimum dietary diversity for breastfed children 6-23 months is defined as four or more food groups out of the following 7 food groups
(refer to the WHO IYCF operational guidance document cited below):
1. Grains, roots and tubers
2. Legumes and nuts
3. Dairy products (milk, yogurt, cheese)
4. Flesh foods (meat, fish, poultry and liver/organ meats)
5. Eggs
6. Vitamin-A rich fruits and vegetables
7. Other fruits and vegetables
Minimum meal frequency for breastfed children is defined as two or more feedings of solid, semi-solid, or soft food for children 6-8 months and three or more feedings of solid, semi-solid or soft food for children 9-23 months.
For the MAD indicator, minimum dietary diversity for non breastfed children is defined as four or more food groups out of the following six food groups:
1. Grains, roots and tubers
2. Legumes and nuts
3. Flesh foods (meat, fish, poultry and liver/organ meats)
4. Eggs
5. Vitamin-A rich fruits and vegetables
6. Other fruits and vegetables
Minimum meal frequency for non breastfed children is defined as four or more feedings of solid, semi-solid, soft food, or milk feeds for children 6-23 months. For non-breastfed children to receive a minimum adequate diet, at least two of these feedings must be milk feeds.
For detailed guidance on how to collect and tabulate this indicator, refer to the WHO document: Indicators for assessing infant and young child feeding practices, Part 2, Measurement, available at http://whqlibdoc.who.int/publications/2010/9789241599290_eng.pdf

UNIT OF MEASURE: Percent
Enter the indicator value for the overall indicator and for each disaggregate category under the appropriate ZOI category (DA/ESF-funded, FFP/CDF-funded, JPC/Resilience-focus). Enter the total ZOI sub-population covered by each disaggregate for the disaggregate categories only, and FTFMS will sum across disaggregates to get the total population in the ZOI. Enter:
1. percent of children 6-23 months in the sample receiving a minimum acceptable diet
2. percent of male children 6-23 months in the sample receiving a minimum
acceptable diet
3. total population of male children 6-23 months in the ZOI

RATIONALE:
Appropriate feeding of children 6-23 months is multidimensional. The minimum acceptable diet indicator combines standards of dietary diversity (a proxy for nutrient density) and feeding frequency (a proxy for energy density) by breastfeeding status; and thus provides a useful way to track progress at simultaneously improving the key quality and quantity dimensions of children’s diets.

DESCRIPTION

DEFINITION:
Individuals: The indicator includes health professionals, primary health care workers, community health workers, volunteers, policy- makers, researchers, students, and non-health personnel (e.g agriculture extension workers) who receive training. This indicator does not include direct community-level beneficiaries such as mothers receiving counseling on maternal, infant, and young child nutrition.
Nutrition-related: Individuals should be trained in basic and applied nutrition-specific or nutrition-sensitive topics in academic, pre- and in-service venues.
Professional training: This indicator captures the number of individuals to whom significant knowledge or skills have been imparted through interactions that are intentional, structured, and designed for this purpose. There is no pre-defined minimum or maximum length of time for the training; what is key is that the training reflects a planned, structured curriculum designed to strengthen nutrition capacities, and there is a reasonable expectation that the training recipient will acquire new knowledge or skills that s/he could translate into action.
Missions and IPs should count an individual only once, regardless of the number of trainings received during the reporting year and whether the trainings covered different topics. If an individual is trained again during a following year, s/he can be counted again for that year. Do not count sensitization meetings or one-off informational trainings. In-country and off-shore training are included. Training should include a nutrition-specific or nutrition-sensitive focus as defined in the USAID multi-sectoral nutrition strategy and any updated implementation guidance documents. Implementing agencies may encourage partner professional institutions (e.g. health facilities, agriculture extension offices, Universities, Ministries) to maintain a list of employees and trainings received.
If an IP provides support for curriculum development in an institutional setting such as a University and the content meets the criteria listed above, the individuals who are trained under that curriculum may be counted as reached for the life of the activity that supported the development of the curriculum. However, if the Mission has an independent means of collecting the data from the learning institution without the assistance of the Implementing Partner, the Mission may continue to report the individuals who received training based on the curriculum after the activity ends.
Data should be disaggregated into individuals receiving degree seeking and those receiving non-degree seeking training. Among those receiving degrees, individuals should be further disaggregated by “new” and “continuing” degree seekers. The “new” individuals are those that started a degree program in the last year. The “continuing” individuals are those that are continuing a degree program they started in the previous year. Degrees may include but are not limited to an Associate Degree, Bachelor’s Degree, Master’s Degree, and Doctorate Degree.

RATIONALE: A high level of capacity among caregivers and the workforce is needed in order to successfully implement nutrition programs. Improving nutrition is a key objective of the Feed the Future initiative and is key to achieve the high level goal of ending preventable maternal and child deaths. Under-nutrition is an underlying cause in 45 percent of childhood deaths.
