the power of nutrition - investor guide (2015-16) - final

MULTIPLY MONEY.MAXIMISE CHILDREN’S LIVES.THAT’S THE POWER OF NUTRITION.

Good nutrition, once given, can never be taken away. A child whose mother takes iron-folic acid during pregnancy, breastfeeds her for the first six months and introduces her to nutritious foods at the appropriate stages leading up to her 2nd birthday will have a strong foundation for the rest of her life.

The Power of Nutrition is a new charitable foundation with a focused mission: accelerate the fight against child undernutrition at a pace and scale that few can achieve alone. Today, child undernutrition hides in plain sight around the world, not just in countries ravaged by war or drought. In some countries in Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia, every other child is growing up stunted – with reduced physical and cognitive growth – even though nutritious food is often readily available and proven, cost-effective, scalable solutions exist.

We are proud to be the first and only foundation to take on this challenge. Our strategy combines new financing and smart investments in child nutrition in a specific set of hotspot countries. We launched in April 2015 with $200

million in signed commitments from our partners – a rate of growth that matches our ambition and the dramatic results we are targeting.

This document sets out further details of how our targeted investment approach and our unique financing model provide private investors with an unprecedented opportunity to advance countries’ economic growth by transforming the lives and livelihoods of millions of children. Together, we can take steps to sharply reduce the future cost of undernutrition on children and societies. Please, contact me to discuss how you can join us on our journey.

Anne M. Mulcahy, CEO, Xerox Corporation (2001-2009)

Investing in early childhood nutrition is a surefire strategy. The returns are incredibly high.”

01WHY NUTRITION

Good nutrition transforms children’s health, education and livelihoods.

Nutrition is a powerful multiplier in development. It enables children to grow to their full potential. It also triggers positive social and economic changes in countries and across generations.

The earlier the investment, the greater the return. Good nutrition during the 1,000-day window between conception and a child’s second birthday prevents undernutrition and improves lifelong cognitive and physical development.

Nutrition is more than just about food.

It is about getting children and their mothers the right nutrition supplements, services and education at the right time to prevent stunting – the invisible hunger.

Nature of the opportunity

Investments in child nutrition can be very targeted to save and improve the greatest number of lives. With more financing and greater focus on good nutrition, the end of undernutrition is within reach.

Snapshots of success. The experiences of places as diverse as Ethiopia, India’s Maharashtra state, Nigeria and Senegal show that some success in tackling and reducing undernutrition is possible – providing lessons for hotspot countries facing the biggest challenges.

Growing momentum. For the first time ever, world leaders have adopted a target to end all forms of malnutrition by 2030 under the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Financing for nutrition is still very low – against any measure.

Golden moment. Big change requires bold action – to lead the charge and demonstrate that focused action on child undernutrition will trigger dramatic progress.

1st hotspot and investment (Tanzania)

Our hotspots & investments

The Power of Nutrition has identified Tanzania as its first hotspot.

We approved our first investment to the country in Summer 2015.


17

Tanzania

Investment solution

The Power of Nutrition is financing a major new nutrition initiative in Tanzania. This has triggered up to $44 million to scale up proven nutrition interventions nationally – with more ambitious targets in 7 out of 30 regions:

• Increasing coverage of vitamin A supplementation for children under 5

• Increasing iron-folic acid supplementation coverage for pregnant women

• Deploying community health workers to promote nutrition education around breastfeeding and complementary feeding to new mothers

This is a pay for results investment. The release of financing will be contingent on the achievement of pre-defined targets that demonstrate that performance is being delivered on the ground, thereby reducing risk.

This investment will support the country’s Big Results Now in Health initiative, a new and innovative approach to public health service reform that sets targets, establishes a plan to deliver against targets and tracks progress regularly. The impact of The Power of Nutrition’s investment will benefit from over $300 million of investment in this initiative.


More than one out of every three Tanzanian children under the age of five is stunted. One of East Africa’s fastest-growing economies, Tanzania has linked its commitment to ensuring good nutrition for all to its broader ambitions to become a middle-income country by 2025.

Bangladesh

Challenge Solutions

In Bangladesh, gender and regional inequality and low dietary diversity are key factors in the nutrition status of women and young children. Maternal anaemia and micronutrient deficiencies are high, and a third of all children under the age of five are growing up stunted.

Bangladesh has made significant strides in development in the past decade and the Prime Minister has recently declared nutrition a central component of the country’s national development agenda. The country’s national nutrition programme focuses on scaling up a comprehensive package of essential nutrition activities in rural areas and urban slums. It also focuses on women’s empowerment, which is critical to delivering large reductions in child undernutrition and transforming the country’s development trajectory.

Cameroon

Challenge Solutions

In Cameroon, two in five children under the age of five are stunted. Poverty is widespread and development progress has been slow, including against the World Health Assembly targets for nutrition.

Cameroon has growing domestic support for nutrition. The country is focusing on the 1,000-day window as it builds a national nutrition strategy and begins to tackle child undernutrition. As Cameroon sets its long-term nutrition strategy, there is a key opportunity to support the country in sustaining a focused approached to essential nutrition activities that address micronutrient deficiencies, maternal nutrition and the treatment of severe wasting.

Ethiopia

Challenge Solutions

In Ethiopia, two out of every five children under the age of five are growing up stunted today. Over the past decade, the country has achieved the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) for child mortality and water and has dedicated significant attention to improving social infrastructure. Sustained attention to nutrition at the national and community level is still needed.

Ethiopia committed to ending undernutrition by 2030 with the Sequota Declaration. The country has developed and is extending a sound national nutrition programme and also trains community health workers to deliver a range of nutrition activities that focus on the critical 1,000-day window of opportunity. The potential for delivering dramatic reductions in child undernutrition is at an all-time high.

India

Challenge Solutions

India is one of the world’s largest economies and a democracy, yet it’s also home to a third of all stunted children under the age of five. Today, stunting affects nearly half of all children in the country – with higher rates for children from poor backgrounds and states.

Certain states – Mahrashtra being a notable example (see page 10) – have begun making progress in driving down rates of stunting. Relatively small amounts of financing and technical support can have an outsized impact in the country given the strength of existing government systems.Under 5 population: 124 MILLION

Liberia

Challenge Solutions

In Liberia, a third of children under the age of five are growing up stunted. Wasting is also a challenge. Post-Ebola, the country struggles with weak infrastructure and health systems.

Liberia has identified nutrition as a national priority and established a national nutrition programme in 2012. This trains community health workers to deliver essential nutrition activities like educating mothers about breastfeeding and complementary feeding for infants aged 6-24 months. The country is rebuilding and strengthening its health system post-Ebola. Now is the time to ensure that nutrition remains a clear focus in this process.

Madagascar

Challenge Solutions

Madagascar, an island nation off the East coast of Africa, is fighting undernutrition. In some regions, including the fertile central highlands, as many as 60% of children under five are stunted. High rates are also seen in areas where sanitation and healthcare are relatively strong, challenging conventional approaches to reducing undernutrition.

A new national nutrition investment plan has been drawn up for the period 2015-20 and targets a 34% reduction in undernutrition. This will include scaling up 12 evidence-based interventions like providing iron-folic acid supplements for pregnant mothers and education around child feeding.

Niger

Challenge Solutions

In Niger, more than two in five children under the age of five are stunted. Rates of severe wasting are high.

The Ministry of Health has successfully scaled up life-saving treatment of severe wasting so that as many as 400,000 children can be covered each year. Comprehensive packages of essential nutrition activities that focus on the 1,000-day window are also being successfully implemented at the community level, but coverage is low. As the country finalises and begins implementing a national nutrition policy, more financing can help ensure that treatment activities continue and that prevention activities are taken to scale.

Definitions

Stunting: A chronic form of undernutrition that inhibits a child’s physical and cognitive development. It is defined by shortness in

height compared to others of the same age group and is almost entirely preventable if caught in time.

Wasting: A less common but much deadlier form of undernutrition. It is defined as low weight or thinness compared to others of the

same age group. If caught in time, life-saving treatments can be provided.
