About
Overview:The MDG-F Joint Programme Promoting Sustainable Food and Nutrition Security in Timor-Leste addressed the underlying conditions that contribute to chronic and acute undernutrition through a harmonized approach utilizing both technical support and long-term capacity building. The joint programme contributed to improving the health and nutrition status of under-five children and pregnant and lactating mothers through strengthening the institutional capacity of Ministry of Health’s (MoH) implementation of the Community-based Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) programme to treat malnourished children. The prevalence of underweight under-five children reduced from 45.7% at the beginning of the JP to 28.9% in 2012. It also supported the establishment of 94 vegetable farmer groups, 32 small-scale livestock farmer groups and 13 fish farmer groups with training, tools, seeds and technical support services. These farmer groups in turn established 1,600 home gardens, 30 small scale livestock farms and 13 fish farms. By the end of the JP 2,013 households were consuming products from their gardens/farms and selling the surplus products. These capacity building efforts contributed in strengthening the institutional capacity of the MoH and improved implementation, monitoring, recording and reporting in the programme districts. The trained staff members and volunteers conducted community mobilization to screen and provide treatment for 3,229 severely malnourished children. Some 1,513 children aged 6-23 months received Micro Nutrient Powder. Training to students, teachers and parents on nutrition, food safety and school gardens together with the establishment of demonstrative vegetable gardens in 98 schools contributed to increasing nutrition awareness as well as vegetable consumption. The joint programme helped strengthen the food security and nutrition surveillance system through capacity building of central and field level Government officials on data collection, compilation, analysis, and supported the establishment of a database for the Food Security Information and Early Warning System (FSIEWS) not only in the four target districts but in all 13 districts of Timor-Leste as well as at the central level.
