The causes of malnutrition are multi-sector in nature and therefore require a broad range of actors including; Planning (human development), Agriculture (food security), Industry and Trade (food availability), Economy (purchasing power), Women and Children Development (family empowerment), Education (knowledge and skill), Manpower/Workforce (productivity) and Socio-culture (nutritional behavior).
The coordination activities will entail, among others;
Receiving progress report on the implementation of the Plan and organizing for dissemination among the stakeholders for informed decision-making
Organizing forums for experience sharing by the stakeholders on best-practices
Monitoring and Evaluation of the implementation of CNAP
Providing enabling environment for the implementation of the CNAP by the stakeholders; this will entail resource mobilization towards implementation of the Plan as well as influencing policies and legislation that support implementation of the Plan.
The County M&E units or equivalent will be responsible for overall oversight of M&E activities. The functional linkage of the nutrition program to the department of health and the overall county intersectoral government M&E will be through the county M&E TWG. Health department M&E units will be responsible for the day to day implementation and coordination of the M&E activities to monitor this action plan.
The nutrition program will share their quarterly progress reports with the county department of
health (CDOH) M&E unit, who will take lead in the joint performance reviews at subnational level.
The county management teams will prepare the quarterly reports and in collaboration with county stakeholders and organize the county quarterly performance review forums. These reports will be shared with the national M&E unit during the annual health forum, which brings together all stakeholders in health to jointly review the performance of the health sector for the year under review.
For a successful monitoring of this action plan, the county will have to strengthen their M&E function by investing in both the infrastructure and the human resource for M&E. Technical capacity building for data analysis could be promoted through collaboration with research institutions or training that target the county M&E staff. Low reporting from other sectors on nutrition sensitive indicators is still a challenge due to the use different reporting systems that are not inter-operational. Investment on Health Information System (HIS) infrastructure to facilitate e-reporting is therefore key. Timely collection and quality assurance of health data will improve with a team dedicated to this purpose
