Nutrition Resilience Review
Donors: OFDA and Irish Aid
Collaborators: Lola Gostellow
ENN project lead: Jeremy Shoham
Timeframe: September 2013 to September 2015
Background
In the emergency and development sectors, activities are increasingly orientated to understanding and building resilience to reduce the risks associated with acute and chronic shocks. In order to build greater nutrition resilience, emphasis on a continuum or contiguum of financing, programming, coordination and system wide strengthening is needed. Read more…..
Project summary
During 2015 the ENN completed a desk-based review of the interconnections between resilience and nutrition as evidenced in the guidance of 6 international donors (Canada, the EU, Germany, Ireland, the UK, and the USA) and the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development). It examines commonality in donor thinking and approaches on resilience and how this has impacted on their thinking and approaches on nutrition (or could do so in future). Financing and institutional arrangements within donor organizations to support a resilience agenda were also examined as were the metrics for measurement of outputs and outcomes of resilience programming. The review also considers how hard-won lessons from the nutrition sector can be of value to those working for increased resilience and concludes by setting out potential next steps. The report has been finalised and is available below.
