Assessment and analysis standard 1: food security Where people are at risk of food insecurity, programme decisions are based on a demonstrated understanding of how they normally access food, the impact of the disaster on current and future food security, and hence the most appropriate response.

What does this mean in practice?

( please see page 111 of the 2004 Edition)

Page 6: Using the Minimum Standards in Food Aid & Food Security

Food security standard 1: general food security“People have access to adequate and appropriate food and non-food items in a manner that ensures their survival, prevents erosion of assets and upholds their dignity.”

How does your organization typically design food responses to disaster?

( please see page 120 of the 2004 Edition)

Page 7: Using the Minimum Standards in Food Aid & Food Security

Food security standard 2: primary production“Primary production mechanisms are protected and supported.”

Q. How could you measure this standard?

( please see page 124 of the 2004 Edition)

Page 8: Using the Minimum Standards in Food Aid & Food Security

Food security standard 3: income and employment“Where income generation and employment are feasible livelihood strategies, people have access to appropriate income-earning opportunities, which generate fair remuneration and contribute towards food security without jeopardizing the resources on which livelihoods are based.”

Q. Can this standard be met? How?

( please see page 128 of the 2004 Edition)

Page 9: Using the Minimum Standards in Food Aid & Food Security

Food security standard 4: access to markets“People’s safe access to market goods and services as producers, consumers and traders is protected and promoted.”

Q. In what situations can this be difficult to achieve? What can be done in such circumstances?

FOOD AID STANDARDS AND INDICATORS…..

Page 11: Using the Minimum Standards in Food Aid & Food Security

Food aid planning standard 1: ration planning“Rations for general food distributions are designed to bridge the gap between the affected population’s requirements and their own food resources.”

( please see page 157 of the 2004 Edition)

Page 12: Using the Minimum Standards in Food Aid & Food Security

Food aid planning standard 2: appropriateness and acceptability

( please see page 158 of the 2004 Edition)

“The food items provided are appropriate and acceptable to recipients and can be used efficiently at the household level.” Military style MREs (Meals Ready to Eat)

Page 13: Using the Minimum Standards in Food Aid & Food Security

Food aid planning standard 3: food quality and safety

( please see page 160 of the 2004 Edition)

“Food distributed is of appropriate quality and fit for human consumption.”

How would you measure this standard objectively?

Page 14: Using the Minimum Standards in Food Aid & Food Security

Food aid management standard 1: food handling

( please see page 163 of the 2004 Edition)

“Food is stored, prepared and consumed in a safe and appropriate manner at both household and community levels.” Refugees International photo

Page 15: Using the Minimum Standards in Food Aid & Food Security

Food aid management standard 2: supply chain management

( please see page 165 of the 2004 Edition)

“Food aid resources (commodities and support funds) are well managed, using transparent and responsive systems.”

WFP photo

Page 16: Using the Minimum Standards in Food Aid & Food Security

Food aid management standard 3: distribution

( please see page 168 of the 2004 Edition)

“The method of food distribution is responsive, transparent, equitable and appropriate to local conditions.”

How would you measure this standard objectively?

RATION PLANNING QUICK EXERCISE

Calculate This! How much food does one person need (on average) for three months using the Sphere indicators for food aid.

Assume that the person will receive corn, beans, and oil distributed as an emergency response and based on assumption that there is no other access to food for a period of one month.

Page 18: Using the Minimum Standards in Food Aid & Food Security

• Assume 2100 kcals/person/day = ( 2100)• 11% of total energy provided by protein = ( 230)• 17% of total energy provided by oil = ( 360)• rest of total energy provided by cereal = ( 1510)

Food Type Kcal/g protein/g fat/g

Beans 3.35 .20 .012

First, find out how much of what foods are needed for a daily ration

Next, calculate the weight of the basic food ration X the number of people X the number of days.

49.5 kg of food for one person for 3 months!

Page 22: Using the Minimum Standards in Food Aid & Food Security

• 36 kg of corn• 2.3 kg of oil• 5.4 kg of pulses• 1.4 kg of sugar• 4.5 kg of CSB

OK, based on this. How much food of this type must you move to the community if there are 20,000 people in need for 3 months?

So,… how many trucks do need to move this food?

Page 26: Using the Minimum Standards in Food Aid & Food Security

MT to move… 990 MT over 90 days

Context - difficult roads, 300 k, max 10 T trucks available

Trucks can make 150 k/day

Turnaround Time = (300kX 2) / (150k/d) =4 days + 1 loading = 5 days ………..+ 20% “down time”= 6 days

Possible trips/truck/90 days = 90/6= 15 trips/truck /90 days

Number of loads = 990MT / 9 MT = 110 loads …..assuming 90% load factor for the 10 MT trucks

Number of Trucks Needed = 110 loads/ 15 trips = 7.33 Trucks!... So I order 8 trucks to meet the requirement + 1 on standby/rotation for maintanenance = 9 trucks (10MT)in my fleet.

CONCLUSION:The Sphere food chapter sections on FOOD SECURITY and FOOD AID are primarily about running food programmes in a responsible way. Responsibility is both to those receiving as well as those donating food, money, and other resources to the program.
