BSFP – what is it about ?
• BSFP interventions have different OBJECTIVES &
AIM - vary from context and implementing agencies.• Very much used in emergencies • Costly and clearly defined in time and geographical area• Target specific group with high coverage expected• Limited evidence in terms of IMPACT so far• Nor good guidance to monitor and evaluate the quality of
programmes.
Putting together a guidance note
• A long process - COMPLEX• A Consultation – BRAINSTORM • Posts on ENN – SHARE EXPERIENCE• Number of Reviewers – SHARE IDEAS • Discussion --- some of issues are still NOT
SOLVED• Tool/Template box - PRATICAL/FIELD USER

M&E framework for BSFPs interventions
Core set of indicators : • WHAT ? WHICH ? HOW ?• Does one size fit all at a minimum ?• How to distinguish between process and impact ?
BRAINSTORM following the outcomes of two BSFP impact evaluations (Save the Children (2010), CDC (2011-12).
“indicators, which assess the delivery of the appropriate commodities and services to all
the right beneficiaries at the right time”
Conclusions
• Work in progress with increasing experience from NGOs and UN agencies and need to document the intervention
• Need to discuss and share experience, lessons learned and recommendations
• Need to develop a M&E framework• Sustain operational research to measure
impact. • Lobby donor to ensure BSFP is part of
nutrition intervention portfolio until no other evidence
