76PUBLICATIONSwww.unsystem.org/scnProtein and amino acid requirement in human nutrition:Report of a Joint WHO/FAO/UNU Expert consultationWHO/FAO/UNU (online)This report arises from the Joint WHO/FAO/UNU Expert Consultation on Proteinand Amino Acid Requirements in HumanNutrition, held at WHO headquarters from9 to 16 April 2002. It builds on the work ofseveral earlier consultations and meetings.Since last expert consultation in1981 scientific knowledge and field experiencehave now moved far enough forward that a review ofthe expert opinion is warranted. This report is not an end-point,but an important step in the continuous quest for scientificallybasedanswers, and for understanding the implications of theseanswers in terms of improved nutrition and health.www.who.int www.fao.org www.unu.eduSelected indicators of food and agricultural developmentin the Asia-Pacific region 1996-2006FAO (online)This comprehensive and detailed compilationof statistics on farming, livestock,fishery, forestry and nutrition in Asia-Pacific countries for the decade 1996-2006. The publication uses mostly FAOstatistics based on information providedby member countries. Included is a tablereporting on the status of organic farmingin the region and a section on countryprofiles. It provides a handy comparison of changes over thepast decade in the use of agricultural land and farm inputs, productionof farm and horticulture crops, livestock, fisheries, forestryand agricultural trade in countries of the Asia-Pacific region,where over 53 percent of the total population were engaged infarming and related activities. www.fao.orgWater, sanitation and hygiene: Quantifying the healthimpact at national and local levels in countries withincomplete water supply and sanitation coverageFewtrell L, Prüss-Üstün A, Bos R,Gore F, Bartram J - WHO (online)This guide aims to assist in the developmentof a quantitative estimate of healthimpacts attributable to water, sanitationand hygiene (WSH) related risks atcountry or local level. Most of data availablefor the methods used cover developingcountries, and this guide is thereforemainly relevant to developing countries.Eleven diseases or injuries are reviewed. The disease burdenfrom malnutrition is linked to WSH risks because of repeateddiarrhoea and intestinal nematode infections especiallyaffecting children. Several infectious diseases such as intestinalnematode infections, schistosomiasis, trachoma or dengue incertain regions are almost entirely attributable to WSH-relatedrisks. The fraction of the other diseases attributable to WSHshould be estimated based on the basis of expert judgementand, where possible, a systematic review of the literature. Methodsfor pooling of expert judgement and for systematic literaturereviews are outlined in this guide.www.who.intSCN NEWS # 35 back to contentsState of the World's mothers 2007:Saving the Lives of Children Under 5Save the Children (online)This document focus on the 28,000 childrenunder age 5 who die every day from easilypreventable or treatable causes and thetragic fact that basic, lifesaving remediesstill are not reaching millions of mothersand children in need. This report helps tobring attention to low-cost solutions thathave the greatest potential to save lives. Italso identifies countries that are succeedingin tackling this problem, showing that effective solutions to thischallenge are affordable – even in the world’s poorest countries.www.savethechildren.orgCash and Food Transfer: A PrimerWFP (online, E/F/S)The objective of this paper is to unpack thevarious aspects of the “cash versus food”debate, to map out where the controversieslie and to demonstrate the need for a morepragmatic, balanced and context specificapproach. A key message is that appropriatenesscannot be predetermined sinceprogramme objectives, the economics offood consumption, market analysis, costs effectiveness and efficiency,capacity requirements and beneficiary preferences allplay a role in determining the most appropriate option or combinationsof options. www.wfp.orgFAO1.

Passport to Improving Nutrition in Social Protectionand Agricultural Development InitiativesThe analysis of the external policy environment (1) points to thecritical need for technical support to help build the capacity ofregional and national situations for designing, delivering andmanaging more effective programmes.A framework is proposed (2) for developing the organizationalcapacity required to incorporate food security, nutrition and livelihoodsobjectives and considerations into development planning;a 6-step approach is described for evaluating organizationalcapacities (3) and lastly a passport is available (4) that provideskey questions to be asked when collecting information to helpguide the design of interventions and forms part of the FAOguidelines for Incorporating Food Security, Nutrition and LivelihoodObjectives into Community Action Processes. These 3papers provide useful tools and ideas to work with governmentsand other national stakeholders to develop enabling policies fornutritional improvement as well as for emergency preparednessplans and activities.

GEO-4 is published 20years after the landmark World Commission on Sustainable DevelopmentsBrundtland Report of 1987. Environment for Developmentis the GEO-4 underlying theme and the report pays specialattention to the role and impact of the environment on human wellbeingas well as to the use of environmental valuation as a tool fordecision-making. GEO-4's specialized report, the Summary forDecision Makers is an essential guide for policy-makers. Bothpublications are excellent tools for teaching and research andrelevant in the field of international environmental governance asthey highlight policy opportunities for a more sustainable approachto economic growth and development.www.unep.orgFrom Agriculture to Nutrition:Pathways, Synergies, and OutcomesIFPRI/ The World Bank (online)This paper is a “must read” and has importantimplications for agricultural andfood security programmes aimed at tacklinghunger and malnutrition. Based on areview of the evidence, it argues thathunger and malnutrition in the world willnot be eliminated through agriculturalproduction or raising incomes alone, unless such interventionsare complemented by interventions that address other determinantsof nutrition, such as improving the quality of diets, childfeeding practices, water, sanitation and healthcare. This documentpresents fresh evidence which supports earlier findingsshowing that agricultural interventions are most likely to be successfulin reducing child malnutrition if they incorporate a strongnutrition information/education component and employ genderconsiderations. “www.ifpri.org www.worldbank.orgHousehold Food Insecurity Access Scale (HFIAS) for Measurementof Food Access:Indicator Guide VERSION 3 August 2007Coates J, Swindale A, Bilinsky P(online, E/F/S)The HFIAS is composed of a set of ninequestions that have been used in severalcountries and appear to distinguish foodinsecure from food secure householdsacross different cultural contexts. Thesequestions represent universal domains ofthe experience of insecure access to foodthat can be used to assign households and populations along acontinuum of severity. The information generated by the HFIAScan be used to assess the prevalence of household food insecurity(access component) (e.g., for geographic targeting) and todetect changes in the food insecurity situation of a populationover time (e.g., for monitoring and evaluation). The questions canbe added to a standard baseline and final evaluation survey.www.fantaproject.org www.usaid.govFood assistance program in the context of HIV/AIDSFANTA (online)As the links between food insecurity andHIV become better understood, there isincreasing acknowledgment in the developmentcommunity of the correspondingneed to integrate food and nutritional supportinto a comprehensive response to theepidemic. This guide is intended for programdirectors, program advisors and senior program managerswho are directly involved in the analysis and formulation of foodassistance strategies and country program activities at HQ andin regional and field offices.www.fantaproject.orgGirl Guides Anaemia Prevention Badge ProjectFANTA/RCQHC/WAGGGS(online, E/F)The Girl Guides Anaemia PreventionBadge Project is a program built to reachadolescent girls in East and SouthernAfrica with information and activities onanaemia prevention and control. Underthe program, Girl Guides (ages 7-18) canearn a badge in anaemia prevention through educational programsand community involvement in anaemia control. FANTAand the Regional Centre for Quality of Health Care (RCQHC)developed an Anaemia Prevention Badge Handbook and Workbookfor the Girl Guides as well as a training manual for GirlGuide leaders.www.rcqhc.org www.fantaproject.org www.wagggsworld.orgHIV, Nutrition and Food Security: What we can doThe World Bank and other agencies(online, E/F/S/C)This document is a synthesis of existinginternational technical guidance on HIV/AIDS, nutrition, and food security, whichis a valuable contribution to efforts thatsupport the integration of nutrition andHIV/AIDS projects and programs. Thesynthesis aims to provide decision makersand service providers, especially those who design and manageprogrammes, with guidance on how nutrition may be integratedinto HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment. Most of the recommendationsdraw on international guidelines and should alsobe applicable in other AIDS-affected regions in the world wherepublic resources are constrained.www.worldbank.orgHIV and Infant Feeding:New evidence and programmaticexperienceWHO/UNICEF/UNAIDS/UNFPAwww.who.intwww.unicef.orgwww.unaids.orgwww.unfpa.orgback to contents SCN NEWS # 35
