SOMALIA NUTRITION CLUSTER

Overview and Background Following the 2011 famine many partners responding had created a rapid scale up in geographic coverage of nutrition services in Central South Somalia. Because of the time critical lifesaving nature of the response, opening of new service delivery points was driven by need and access opportunities rather than a strategic planning process with a clear rational basis for planning of the geographic coverage for both facility based and mobile/outreach nutrition services. While the goal for expansion of coverage of treatment services was attained during the famine response, however geographic coverage was not adequately optimised and inefficiencies in service provision were noted in a number of areas while cases of duplication and overlap of services were also quite widespread.

As a result of this, the nutrition cluster and its partners undertook a rationalisation exercise of IMAM services in Central South Somalia (CSZ) during the last quarter of 2012 in order to ensure that the geographic coverage of services was applied in a rational fashion with a clear planning basis for establishing baseline IMAM service provision requirements at the district level with provisions for potential scale up in the event emergency programmes are required. However few challenges remain unsolved besides emerging realities, new developments, change in programming and/or new issues that need further consideration such as risk management and related issues. Below is few challenges of Rationalization Plan I;

Challenges with previous rationalization (mainly related to IMAM Service planning challenges); 1. Vertical programming within the health sector with no clear strategy for integration of health and nutrition primary health care services. Clear direction in EPHS areas and Integration in non EPHS regions/districts is an issue that needs some attention in the rationalisation plan II. 2. Lack of a clear planning basis and blueprint for health and nutrition service planning in Central South Somalia. Most of the districts/regions in CSZ have their unique dynamic such as clan dynamics, access issues etc... This remains a challenge and rationalization plan would handle in carefully while maintaining the critical need of delivering services over claiming territory. 3. Lack of a clear planning basis for EPHS and guidance on how to account for other programmes / funding streams like SNS and IOC initiatives in the planning process. 4. Lack of standardisation/uniformity in OTP and TSFP criteria led to discordance and lack of alignment in the OTP/TSFP service delivery sites in some districts during the planning exercise besides prevailing absence of integration in service delivery. 5. Lack of clear guidance / criteria for defining mobile OTP/TSFP sites led in some cases to arbitrary application of criteria in defining mobile sites. 6. Development of IMAM Service plans in inaccessible / partially accessible districts was a challenge because of lack of adequate planning information.

Similarly, Resource mobilization, flexible long term funding, and risk management related issues surfaced that needs further consideration in the review of rationalization plan.

Accordingly as a follow up of the first consultative meeting held in Nairobi with all cluster partners during 12 th – 13 th January, 2015; that lay foundation for the cluster road map plan besides outlining an action point for rationalization plan II states; “Revision of the rationalization plan in the context of available funds versus the needs and in the context of improving accessibility …”. This has subsequently strengthened the need for finalizing rationalization plan II by the end of May 2015 on the cluster wide quarter one action review meeting held in Nairobi on 30 th March – 2nd April 2015. This meeting had also given the mandate for the cluster coordination (as part of cluster core function) and it’s SAG to lead the process alongside MoH. Hence total of ten consultative meetings held during the months of April and May 2015 in various locations including at regions in Somalia (two SAG, four consultative, and four bilateral negotiation meetings) in finalizing the rationalization plan II.

In all the meetings aforementioned background and challenges have been discussed in-depth besides core functions of the cluster; objectives, principles and concepts for rationalization plan II; planning steps and process; eligibility criteria’s and finally joint revision and endorsement of proposed partners per district in each region in all the meetings. there was full representation all relevant stakeholders at all levels, including MoH officials officially nominated by HE the Deputy Minister of MoH and decisions for the rationalization plan II were made jointly by all relevant parties. Similarly series of bilateral meetings held in and Nairobi between the cluster and OIC (Organizations of Islamic Cooperation) on how best the organizations would be part of the RPII. Accordingly providing the need to expand resources available to the cluster and their potential capacity to generate resources and come up with their own non-traditional donors; the cluster in consultation to MoH and CLA agreed to fully incorporate the three out of six proposed by OIC including one additionally proposed by MoH (PASOS, Muslim Hands, and SYPD) which are micro-assessed and would be able to have cooperation with the CLA – UNICEF; two (Qatar Red Crescent Society and HIJRA) partially by double posting as primary partner and keeping the remaining one as standby partner (Manhal Charity) for any future gap that would require their support.

Final endorsement meeting which was planned to be held on 25 th May 2015 in Mogadishu was postponed due to few pending issues mainly in relation to . Finally after thorough internal discussion and negotiations between MoH at various levels as well as CLA and the NCC this document was endorsed by the FMOH and the cluster. Similarly it’s signed by all the three major stakeholders to ensure its consistence implementation, harmonization and alignment of nutrition related projects, PCAs and LFAs. The signature of lead agencies doesn’t mean and/or it’s not a guarantee for contractual agreement and/or funding.

Functions of the cluster 1 1. Support service delivery 2. Inform HC/HCT’s strategic decision making 3. Plan and develop strategy 4. Monitor and evaluate performance 5. Build capacity in preparedness and contingency planning 6. Advocacy 7. Accountability to the affected population Accountability to the affected population (AAP) It was solid explanation and discussion on the APP as being essentially ensuring that nutrition cluster and member partners collectively are accountable to the populations to whom they provide humanitarian response manifested through;

• Leadership/governance. • Transparency. • Feedback and complaints. • Participation. • Design, monitoring and evaluation. Moreover , the IASC (Inter Agency Standing Committee) recommendation to incorporate gender, age and prevention of violence along with accountability to affected populations as a BASIC minimum across all phases of the humanitarian program cycle have been discussed.

This makes the rationalization plan II unique as it purely focus on AAP and apply affected people centric approach rather than focus on individual organizations interest and their claim to ownership of geographic area even when they had never operated in that area which is no longer acceptable.

Lastly it’s strongly believed that following this exercise a shared vision would be built among cluster partners on how to develop emergency preparedness and response programmes that ensure safe and equal access, address cross cutting issues, minimise risk of violence and ensure accountability to population.

Objectives of the revision of the rationalization plan II 1. To undertake systematic planning of IMAM programme service plans in all CSZ regions using defined criteria for static, outreach/mobile services and agreeing on district coverage in order to render services which are more effective, efficient and better aligned and harmonized with cluster priorities and plans.

2. To strengthen strategic planning and coordination of IMAM Service provision in all the districts in all the regions of CSZ and align external assistance to plans. 3. To undertake systematic selection of institutions/ organizations to implement IMAM Service plans in in all the regions of CSZ based on; a. Defined eligibility criteria. b. Value for money considerations. c. Ensuring economies of scale. 4. To work towards strengthened district/ regional emergency nutrition preparedness and response plans. 5. To strengthen partnerships and engender a spirit of shared contribution towards addressing child and maternal under nutrition in affected parts of all the regions of CSZ. Conceptualization Derived from AAP, the concept is people centered to ensure the most vulnerable are reached;

• Primary partner : Accountable to cover the entire district whenever and wherever possible - all the gaps, either alone or in partnership with either of the secondary and tertiary partner with a framework of mutual respect and accountability under Principles of partnership 2.

• Secondary and tertiary stand by partners in case of primary partner failed to secure resources, can’t cover the entire district, and/or failed to provide services on time - ensuring dialogue between the primary, secondary and tertiary partners in coordination with the cluster.

Principles of rationalization plan II (as outlined and endorsed by SAG) 1. Rationalization doesn’t mean owning a geographic area permanently; rather it’s a conditional assignment of partners to cover gap area. 2. Based on risk profiling of OCHA – mandatory for the primary partner 3. Based on estimated case load per district 4. In the JHNP/EPHS areas primary partner will remain the JHNP partner, and based on joint discussion and objective assessment of the capacity and gaps, secondary and tertiary partners can be engaged. 5. In SNS area the primary partner will remain the SNS partner, and in areas where JHNP and SNS overlap (Banadir), JHNP partner will be primary partner while SNS partner will be secondary. Tertiary partner needs to be identified according to need. 6. Strictly absolute minimum number of primary partners – maximum of one primary partner per district (could be flexible– as per specific context of a district).
