Title: Session 1.2. WFP Conceptual Framework: Food and Nutrition Security
1Session 1.2.WFP Conceptual Framework Food
and Nutrition Security
2Learning objectives
- After this session, participants should be able
to - Describe key concepts of WFP Conceptual Framework
of Food and Nutrition Security - Adapt and apply the Conceptual Framework to
identify key factors that affect food security
and nutrition in a given context
3Where are we?
EFSA Process
Adapt conceptual framework objectives
Prepare analysis plan indicators, data, sources
Collect, review secondary data
Collect primary data
Conduct situation analysis
Conduct forecast analysis
Analyse response options
Make response recommendations
Prepare report
4Conceptual Framework
- Informs selection of indicators for analysis
use in targeting - Guides design of data collection analysis
- Considers food availability, access utilisation
as core determinants of FS
5Conceptual Framework
- Provides
- basis for developing initial hypotheses on
emergency - way to visualise relationships among factors
affecting FNS
6Main objectives of an EFSA
- To determine risks for the population
- life-threatening risks, e.g., malnutrition,
disease - risks to livelihoods, e.g., loss of assets that
endanger present , future livelihoods - and what to do about them
7Specific objectives of EFSA
- To identify
- who is food insecure and/or malnourished, and how
severe is food insecurity whose lives or
livelihoods are at risk - main causes of food insecurity malnutrition
including chronic/transitory issues - need for, and type of, interventions to address
food insecurity and malnutrition to save lives
protect/strengthen livelihoods
8WFP Food and Nutrition Security Conceptual
Framework Key concepts
- Livelihoods
- Food security
- Nutrition security
91 - Livelihoods
- livelihoods approach examines
- impact of shock on human, financial, social,
physical, natural, assets - impact of policies, institutions, other processes
- strategies the affected are using to survive
-
-
- tries to determine likely outcomes for the
affected changes in vulnerability, food /
nutrition security status, etc.
10Example of household livelihood analysis
- Livelihood strategies
- HH use strong social assets to get loans
- rent land buy tools agric. inputs
- HH use human assets to farm to offset low
financial, natural assets
11How are livelihoods affected?
Extent to which households can withstand shock
122 - Food security
- Availability
- Access
- Utilisation
when all people, at all times, have physical and
economic access to sufficient, safe and
nutritious food to meet their dietary needs, and
food preferences for an active and healthy life
133 - Nutrition security
- Food security
- Health
- Caring practices
Acute malnutrition clear sign of risk to
life Chronic malnutrition long-term problems
related to food, health and care
14UNICEF Conceptual Framework of malnutrition
Outcomes Immediate causes Underlying causes at
household level Basic causes at societal level
15WFP Conceptual Framework of Food and Nutrition
Security
16Conceptual Framework levels of analysis (1)
Basic causes structural factors that establish
the context in which malnutrition and food
insecurity exist
17Conceptual Framework levels of analysis (2)
Underlying causes characteristics of individual
households that make them more, or less,
susceptible to malnutrition and food insecurity
18Conceptual Framework levels of analysis (3)
Immediate causes factors that can lead
directly to malnutrition and death
19Conceptual Framework levels of analysis (4)
Outcomes malnutrition and excess mortality
arising from failure to resolve problems at other
levels
20Adapting the Conceptual Framework
Why?
- The relative significance of each framework
element depends on region country, nature of
crisis, affected groups - Adapting it to local context allows formulation
of initial hypotheses on probable local effects
of crisis
21Adapting the Framework How?
- Review secondary info discussions with key
informants - Identify factors most likely to affect FSN in
current context - Identify possible linkages among factors
affecting food nutrition security
initial hypotheses
definition of information requirements
selection of assessment methodology
22Exercise 1.1.Adapt the Conceptual Framework
- Use Worksheet for each Working Group
- 45 min 60 min debriefing
23Wrap-up
- The Framework
- Provides basis for development of initial
emergency hypotheses, causes effects - Helps to visualize relationships between factors
affecting food nutrition security - Guides data collection analysis
