coverage. National Immunisation Days will occur this year – this will be an excellent<br />
opportunity to improve coverage, which currently stands at around 50%<br />
.Updates<br />
3.1. Nutrition Atlas (T. Stillman, Cluster):<br />
The Nutrition Atlas is not ready for distribution – final formatting and data integrity checks<br />
are on-going.<br />
3.2. CMAM (T. Stillman):<br />
The CMAM Technical Working Group did not meet as scheduled in the month of January.<br />
The group will convene as scheduled in February and report back in the next cluster<br />
meeting.<br />
3.3. IYCF Technical Working Group (Charity, UNICEF):<br />
The group met in December as scheduled. The IYCF program review is<br />
progressing well – the consultant to present methodology for comment later in<br />
the January meeting (see below).<br />
Training of community councillors is on-going. To date, 1962 councillors have<br />
been trained. These councillors are expected to provide services to more than<br />
19,500 mothers. Currently developing tools for improving supervision and<br />
oversight of the councillor’s work – this topic will be address in the next TWG<br />
meeting.<br />
IEC materials development is on-going. Adaptation of the package was<br />
completed in December, and all translations, with the exception of Tonga, are<br />
ready. TWG members have agreed to print the package logo-free to ensure widescale<br />
adoption.<br />

cluster meeting.<br />
Participants again discussed concerns about present Vitamin A coverage rates.<br />
The MoHCW acknowledged that the transition away from campaigns has had a<br />
detrimental impact on coverage of Vitamin A, which has fallen from above 80%<br />
to around 50%. MoHCW will convene group to discuss implications and explore<br />
options for re-introducing limited campaign activity while support for routine<br />
services is ongoing. The MoHCW will host NIDS this year, which will help<br />
considerably with current coverage rates.<br />
3.5. Food Security (T. Ndumiyana, WFP):<br />
WFP presented the latest findings from their food security monitoring system.<br />
Trends are generally consistent with expectation for this time of year: maize prices<br />
are on the rise, source markets are drying out, and there increased gold panning<br />
and fruit selling as casual labour opportunities remain inaccessible.<br />
Rains are below normal for this time of year, raising concerns about the upcoming<br />
harvest. Partners are monitoring this situation closely.<br />
The WFP food pipeline is constrained due to export bans from Malawi – this<br />
affects both the cereal and CSB pipeline. As a result, VGF rations have been<br />
reduced by 50%, and the supplementary feeding programme is at risk of closing<br />
down. WFP is exploring other mechanisms to meet commitments, including<br />
discussion with government about sourcing the GMB supplies. WFP will be<br />
replacing food with cash for a select number of households (~20,000).<br />
3.6. Food and Nutrition Council (K. Mukodoka):<br />
Approval processes for the National Food and Nutrition Policy continue to<br />
progress. Release is expected towards the end of the first quarter in 2012;.<br />
The FNC has introduced a website as well as a quarterly newsletter. Participants<br />
looked at the website during the meeting. The newsletter will be circulated by te<br />
cluster coordinator following the meeting.<br />
Roll out of the Food and Nutrition Security Committees has not yet begun.<br />
Discussion are still underway between ACF and UNICEF with respect to pilot<br />
roll out. Manual has not yet been circulated for comment as agreed in the October<br />
Convene group to explore<br />
options for addressing low<br />
VA coverage.<br />
