1. Global nutrition clusters information management strategy and tools

2. GNC information management strategy Currently: No standard approach for nutrition information management No nutrition information management strategy Duplication of efforts in developing IM products Gaps in information Important information not shared Experience / learning not recorded… Decision making affected

3. Ways forward Develop a global nutrition IM strategy Develop a nutrition IM toolkit to support the strategy Create an IM Task Force: Agree on TOR and criteria for TF

4. Suggested IM toolkit 4Ws and inter-agency reporting Cluster databases Reports Maps Contact lists Meeting management Website, sharing information platforms Bulletins TORs for IMOs Information dissemination strategy Reviews, lessons learned, evaluations templates

5. Global nutrition clusters information management tools 4Ws and reporting: Working draft

6. Current situation No country nutrition IM tools / guidance recommended at global level New cluster activated = new tools have to be developed Purpose: GNC IM tools which can be adapted at country level

7. Information management products flow Activities implementation and intra-agency reporting Cluster agencies activity reporting Cluster activity monitoring database Summary tables Reports, maps

8. Information management products flow Activities implementation and intra-agency reporting Cluster agencies activity reporting Cluster activity monitoring database Summary tables Reports, maps Activities implementation and intra-agency reporting 4W, monthly reports, survey reports Master spreadsheets Pivot tables OCHA dashboard, coverage and gap maps, summaries for meetings Example

10. The process for development GNC IM tools General call for IM tools Analysis of existing tools Gaps identification and filling in the gaps Development of 4W and other IM tools (based on existing tools) Incorporating feedback from GNC partners and NCCs Guidance development and field test Incorporating feedback Roll out

11. General call: responded countries Monthly reporting: Congo Haiti Liberia Mali South Sudan Sudan Yemen 3Ws/4Ws: Mali Mauritania Pakistan South Sudan Somalia Sudan Yemen

12. Addressed nutrition interventions: 3Ws/4Ws South Sudan Somalia Mali Mauritania Pakistan Sudan Yemen SAM +++ Name of the project + MAM ++++ Micronutrients + IYCF-E ++ Screening + Capacity building Supplies Surveys +

13. Addressed nutrition interventions: monthly/weekly reporting Congo Haiti South Sudan Liberia Mali Sudan Yemen SAM + +++++ MAM + +++++ Micronutrients + ++ IYCF-E ++ +++ Screening + + + Capacity building + Supplies + + Surveys + + ++

14. Gaps identified Omitted areas of intervention Number of beneficiaries not always specified Cross-cutting issues are not addressed (except sometimes gender) Standard indicators are not used No standard indicators at global level Only quantity (not quality) of programs monitored

15. Properties of the new tools User-friendly (familiar, easy to fill in) Easily adjustable at country level Can be adjusted for L3 as well as for smaller or longer term complex emergencies Partners want to fill a template in (can be adjusted for intra-agency reporting, useful for partners) Provide all necessary for CC information, but not more than needed Address cross-cutting issues (gender, age, HIV) Number of beneficiaries always specified Both programme and results oriented Give some monitoring of quality of programs

16. How to adjust to country context Indicators should be linked to strategic objectives of a cluster / sector Number of indicators should be minimised to focus on priority areas

17. Proposed generic IM tools 4W reporting template Monthly / weekly reporting template Surveys reporting template

18. Next steps for 4W/reporting templates Incorporating feedback from GNC partners Incorporating feedback from NCCs Develop a guidance Field test Incorporating feedback Roll out

19. Group work on 4W and reporting tools and/or Feedback from operation partners
