Local Level Nutrition Interventions for Northern Province Project

3. Technical Specifications

for supply of precooked supplementary food

for children 6 to 23 months, , pregnant and lactating mothersin the Northern Province in Sri Lanka

1. Background

The Northern Province has recently emerged from 30 years of civil conflict.

Approximately three hundred thousand persons were displaced during and immediately after

the war in June 2009; most were from the districts Vavuniya, Mannar, Kilinochchi, and

Mullativu. These residents were living in the Internally Displaced People's (IDP) camps in

Vavuniya and during one year majority of this population returned to their original home-

towns or now live with host families.

Evidence from other conflict-affected countries shows that in the absence of special

efforts, malnutrition rates are likely to get worse after displaced populations return home

from camps; this is partly because the IDPs living in camps generally get reasonable access to

service provision from humanitarian agencies but once they get spread out in their villages,

they are much more difficult to reach, especially if there is significant destruction of

infrastructure. In addition, most IDPs return to areas where the infrastructure and service

provision capacity are just beginning to be rebuilt; their livelihoods are not likely to be

restored immediately and the resultant food insecurity is very likely to worsen their already

poor nutritional status.

A Pilot project funded by the Japan Social Development Fund financed through the

World bank / on “Local Level Nutrition Interventions for the Northern Province” is being

implemented to fill the gaps in the regular service provision and nutrition activities funded by

other development partners. The project has four components:

1. Supply of supplementary food to vulnerable groups in the villages with returning

IDPs and for those living with host families

2. Capacity-building and community mobilization

3. Community-based nutrition interventions that seek to improve the household level

behaviors in terms of feeding and caring practices and

4.

Advocacy, Project Supervision, Monitoring and Evaluation. Its objective is toimprove the nutrition status through local level nutrition interventions.

The project is being implemented in the districts of Killinochchi, Vavuniya, Mullativu and

Mannar in full and for approximately half the population of Jaffna as the interventions are

focused to resettled populations in the North province. The population and land area

information is in Table 1 below and Table 2 provides the geographic areas covered through

the project.
