Global nutrition cluster’s information management
strategy and tools
GNC information management strategyCurrently: No standard approach for nutrition
information management
No nutrition information management strategy
Duplication of efforts in developing IM products Gaps in information
Important information not sharedExperience / learning not recorded…
Decision making affected
Ways forward
Develop a global nutrition IM strategy
Develop a nutrition IM toolkit to support the strategy
Create an IM Task Force: Agree on TOR and criteria for TF
Suggested IM toolkit
4Ws and inter-agency reporting Cluster databases Reports Maps Contact lists Meeting management Website, sharing information platforms Bulletins TORs for IMOs Information dissemination strategy Reviews, lessons learned, evaluations templates
Global nutrition cluster’s information management
tools
4Ws and reporting: Working draft
Current situationNo country nutrition IM tools / guidance
recommended at global level
New cluster activated = new tools have to be developed
Purpose: GNC IM tools which can be adapted at country level

Example
The process for development GNC IM tools
General call for IM tools Analysis of existing tools Gaps identification and filling in the gaps Development of 4W and other IM tools (based
on existing tools) Incorporating feedback from GNC partners and
NCCs Guidance development and field test Incorporating feedback Roll out
General call: responded countries
Monthly reporting:CongoHaitiLiberiaMaliSouth SudanSudan Yemen
3Ws/4Ws:MaliMauritaniaPakistanSouth SudanSomaliaSudan Yemen
Addressed nutrition interventions: 3Ws/4Ws
Addressed nutrition interventions: monthly/weekly reporting
Gaps identified
Omitted areas of intervention Number of beneficiaries not always
specified Cross-cutting issues are not addressed
(except sometimes gender) Standard indicators are not used No standard indicators at global level Only quantity (not quality) of programs
monitored
Properties of the new tools User-friendly (familiar, easy to fill in) Easily adjustable at country level Can be adjusted for L3 as well as for smaller or longer
term complex emergencies Partners want to fill a template in (can be adjusted for
intra-agency reporting, useful for partners) Provide all necessary for CC information, but not more
than needed Address cross-cutting issues (gender, age, HIV) Number of beneficiaries always specified Both programme and results oriented Give some monitoring of quality of programs
How to adjust to country context
Indicators should be linked to strategic objectives of a cluster / sector
Number of indicators should be minimised to focus on priority areas
Proposed generic IM tools 4W reporting template
Monthly / weekly reporting template
Surveys reporting template
Surveys' reporting
Regular reporting
4W
Next steps for 4W/reporting templates
Incorporating feedback from GNC partners Incorporating feedback from NCCs Develop a guidance Field test Incorporating feedback Roll out
Group work on 4W and reporting tools
and/or
Feedback from operation partners
