Bangladesh Country Investment Plan - Feed the Future

ANNEX 4: COST AND FINANCING
This Annex provides background data and calculation tables used to estimate costs and financing requirements. In this Annex, the term
“project” is used to describe on-going and planned investment interventions whether or not they represent actual projects (e.g. financed by
some DPs) or development activities streamlined in the Government system. The ADP (Annual Development Programme) is the tool used by
the Government to gather “projects” approved to be supported within the next five year time frame. All investments undertaken by the
Government are channelled through it. In turn, part of the DP contribution is channelled through the ADP (i.e. complementing the budget
contributions to projects); part is channelled outside of the ADP, e.g. when DPs finance NGOs to undertake certain activities. Annex 4 is
divided in 3 sections:
1. Table 4.1 provides the summary cost tables by CIP component, programmes and sub-programmes;
2. Tables 4.2 to 4.4 provide information on DPs on-going financing (both through ADP and non ADP) and potential future contributions;
3. Tables 4.5 and 4.6: database of respectively all on-going “projects” relevant to the CIP (to calculate available financing) and intended
future “projects” as a means to evaluate further needs (financing gap)
The exchange rate used for calculation is US$ 1 = Taka 69.5. Other currencies (eg: DPs contributions) were converted in US$ at the actual rate at the
moment of disbursement or at the rate provided by the respective DPs.
Note on Food Utilization - Costing CIP’s direct interventions on nutrition
1. The key goal of the CIP is to enhance the nutrition and health of the Bangladeshi population through all CIP components, through both
indirect and direct interventions. While the investment cost of indirect interventions is covered by various projects of relevance of CIP, the costing of
direct interventions can be identified through the Health and Population and Nutrition Sector Development Programme (HPNSDP). The MoHFW
is one of the key executors of direct nutrition interventions, which focus mainly on population, health and nutrition. The DGHS and DGFP are the key
implementers of the activities related to nutrition relevant for the CIP in particular, programme 10.
2. One of the broad aims of the CIP is to improve the nutritional status of the population as reflected in the overall structure and in the cost
estimates of the programmes. In order to further mainstream nutrition in the availability and access components, the updated version of the CIP has
incorporated more systematically indirect nutrition interventions in the programmes related to crop, livestock, and fisheries, including a strong focus on
diversification of food production activities, which would contribute to provide the basis for more diversified diets supplying essential nutrients.
