PoA Approach

Balance between ST (subsidies, safety nets, PFDS…) and MT/LT (agricultural productivity/technological improvements; diversification, broad-based rural development/employment, resilience building) food availability and access strategies

Sustained efforts towards better health and nutrition outcomes (diet diversification, food safety)

Development of effective FS Information and Early Warning systems (weather/ markets) for informed FS policy-making and programming

Monitoring the PoAMonitoring the PoA

Why?

PoA meant to be a “dynamic document” responsive to changes

Monitoring = integral part of PoA implementation, as acknowledged by:

the Food Planning and Monitoring Committee the revised NSAPR (Steps Towards Change, Aug. 2009 ) – which requires to “strengthen coordination, monitoring and evaluation while implementing the PoA” (p.164)

Monitoring = essential to inform FS stakeholders about achievements, strategy/implementation gaps and provide guidance on needs for adjustments and further action

Monitoring the PoAMonitoring the PoA

The Monitoring Report 2009

Pilot effort to assess implementation progress :(a) towards NFP three core objectives (b) under the 26 PoA areas of intervention (achievements viz policy targets, recent policy developments/actions underway) in a systematic manner

-A “Roadmap” produced in consultation with FPMU and partner ministries through the Food Policy Working Group and the 4 inter-ministerial Thematic Teams (TTs)

- 20 further consultations of the TTs (selection/development of monitoring indicators – data sourcing)

- Recent studies produced by Civil Society institutions (including under NFPCSP Research Grant Initiative)

Some lessons learned so far…Some lessons learned so far…

Effective and sustained PoA monitoring process will require:

Strengthened commitment of partner ministries (through the FPWG/TTs) towards full institutionalization of NFP PoA monitoring (as recommended in the PoA)

Continued strengthening of capacities of key agencies involved in policy/program planning and monitoring (FPMU, IMED, GED)

Improved access to up to date and consistent information (Strengthening of FS information management; Mapping of FS interventions under by GoB, DPs and other actors…)

Further integration with NSAPR and forthcoming 6th five year plan monitoring frameworks
