This survey is undertaken to assess the effectiveness of the KHANA/WFP integrated programme of food support and home based care for People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLHA) and Orphan and Vulnerable (OVC) and also to establish a baseline data for new areas in which the programme plans to start in October 2006. The author wishes to express sincere appreciation to the Khmer HIV/AIDS NGO Alliance (KHANA) and World Food Programme (WFP) Cambodia for offering the opportunity to perform this exciting job.

Thanks must also go to Dr. Tith Khimuy, Dr. Leng Kuoy, Dr. Mak Munint, and Mr. Sem Peng Sean for team formation, training, logistical arrangements, fi eld supervision, feedback and overall coordination. Without their contributions, the survey could not have been up to this quality. Thanks are also due to the survey teams for their enthusiasm, tireless effort and devotion to data collection, to Mr. Kim San and his team for timely and good quality data entry and processing, and to village leaders, community volunteers, NGOs and families in the survey villages for their kind cooperation and sparing of time to participate in the survey.

Grateful acknowledgements are due to all the administrative and support staff of KHANA for facilitating the consultant’s job and necessities during his stay in Cambodia.

Invaluable support and guidance from WFP is also thankfully acknowledged.

Last, but not least, sincere thanks must go to Dr. Oum Sopheap, KHANA Executive Director, without whose sincere devotion and tireless support, this type of large scale research would not have been accomplished.

Cambodia has the highest HIV prevalence in Southeast Asia. According to the HIV Sentinel Surveillance (HSS) conducted by the National Centre for HIV/AIDS, Dermatology and Sexual Transmitted Disease

(NCHADS) in 2003, 123,100 adults are infected with HIV, of which 57,500 are women. The same survey estimated that there were 19,814 AIDS cases, of which 8,344 were women1. By 2000, it was estimated that 30,000 children had been orphaned by AIDS and that number was expected to quadruple in the next fi ve years. The HIV/AIDS epidemic nature is changing. Everyday, more people with HIV/AIDS are becoming sick and joining the ranks of those needing medical care and social support. Family livelihood is severely affected2 .

Since its launch in 1996, KHANA has established partnerships with local NGOs and CBOs to combat the epidemic. At the end of 2005, KHANA was providing technical and fi nancial support to 70 NGOs and 12 Community Based Organizations (CBOs) in 14 provinces and 3 municipalities, implementing projects on integrated care and preven-tion, focused prevention, support networks and income generation. KHANA supports 149 Home Care Teams in 11 Home Care networks and combines home-based care with prevention, impact mitigation and IEC and community education services in a comprehensive package of services3 .

In an attempt to improve food security in HIV-affected families and to help meet nutritional needs of PLHA and OVC, KHANA, WFP and MoH, started a partnership in 2003, to integrate food support into the comprehensive service package of Home-based Care. The long-term objective of the food support programme is to contribute to the mitigation of the impacts of HIV/AIDS on affected households.

The programme supports PLHA and OVC households with a monthly ration of:

(1) Rice: 30 kg (2) Fortifi ed Vegetable Oil 1 kg (3) Iodized salt 0.50 kg

This standard monthly food ration is given regardless of the number of household members or number of PLHA and/or OVC per household.

The programme is implemented in the framework of a tripartite partnership between the Government (MOH), WFP and KHANA’s network of partner NGOs. The activities at the community level are carried out by the Home Care Teams each of which consists of NGO staff, Home Care volunteers, health center staff and village volunteers.

As of July 2006, 29 NGOs are implementing integrated food support and HBC, in 193 health center-based areas in 14 provinces, covering 4,327 PLHA households and 3,903 OVC households. Furthermore, three partner NGOs are planning to start the programme in eight new health centre areas in three provinces to benefi t 257 PLHA households and 175 OVC households.

Although the monitoring process, various observations, and small-scale qualitative assessments show better results of the programme, no proper base line or evaluation study has been done during the three years since the programme was implemented in 2003.

This study was conducted in July and August 2006, to evaluate the three-year old integrated food support and home care project as well as to establish the baseline for both existing and newly planned areas.

Immediate objectives of the programme are to:

Support an increase in the awareness, education and behavior change related to HIV/AIDS and

Preserve assets and mitigate the impact of HIV/AIDS on schooling of AIDS-affected family members and OVC by:

1. preventing and mitigating the negative impact of HIV/AIDS

2. ensuring REGULAR school attendance

3. serving income transfer to ensure stable food intake in the family

4. avoiding harmful coping mechanisms (such as selling of productive assets, school drop-out)

5. integrating with development activities such as education and vocational training based on gender-specifi c priority needs

Based on some related studies on Intervention for PLHA and OVC in the international arena4 and taking into account the guidelines in WFP’s indicators compendium and USAID guidelines5 and FAO/WHO recommenda-tions6 , the indicators to be assessed were developed based on the set objectives, and confi rmed by senior management of both KHANA and WFP. Indicators were identifi ed in fi ve broad categories:

1. Negative impact of HIV/AIDS on coping mechanisms and livelihood;

2. Negative impact on food security and nutrition and health;

3. Negative impact on schooling;

4. Ability of participation in ARV treatment, education, vocational training; and

5. Behavioral change in community and HBC teams, challenges and opportunities for future programming.

The aim of the survey was to evaluate the 2003-programme areas using these indicators as well as to provide information for possible programme adjustment and initiatives as necessary. The methodology allows an evaluation of the ongoing programme and also produces information statistically suitable as a base-line to be utilized for future evaluation of the response to food assistance, for both ongoing Intervention areas and newly planned expansion areas.

2.1 Survey DesignThe KHANA/WFP programme of food support to PLHA and OVC started in October 2003. The number of benefi ciaries increased so as of July 2006, 5,291 PLHA households and 8,539 OVC households in 14 provinces were benefi ting from the programme.

Project areas are identifi ed in WFP target communes based on three criteria (1) overlap with WFP priority areas with a high concentration of food-insecure people; (2) overlap with areas with a high concentration of PLHA and OVC requiring care and support; and (3) overlap with existence of MOH partners.

Since there has been no baseline survey, this study attempts to assess the programme effectiveness by comparing two areas; “Intervention” and “Control”. Sampling universe of Intervention area includes 113 HBC team areas in 14 provinces in which food support Intervention is ongoing. Sampling universe of Control area includes 8 HBC team areas in 3 provinces where the PLHA and OVC have never received food support, but selected for future

programme expansion. The above mentioned criteria for selecting programme areas assure the comparison, the possible confounding factors being similar; poverty, food insecurity and general socio-economic conditions, which are the main indicators used in identifying WFP priority areas as VAM analysis7 (see section 4). Moreover PLHA and OVC in both areas receive ongoing service packages of comprehensive HBC.

The effect of additional NGO programmes is also taken into consideration. The only difference between the two groups can be regarded as the food support to PLHA and OVC.

The study conducted a cross-sectional cluster survey on separate performances of PLHA and OVC in both ar-eas. Representative sample sizes of PLHA and OVC were separately calculated for each area using the formula “Sample size required for selected combination of P1 and changes or comparison-group differences to be de-tected” (see Annex 2).

Clusters were defi ned as health center areas to which each HBC team was attached. Measurement units were; PLHA and OVC for nutrition, health and livelihood indicators and households of PLHA and OVC for food security and coping indicators. Thus fi nal selection of measurement units in clusters was the random selection of house-holds of PLHA and OVC based on the benefi ciary lists of the HBC teams. The number of clusters was decided to be 20.

Although sampling was required for a large benefi ciary population widely dispersed in the Intervention areas, the small number of clusters in Control areas (total nine in three provinces), allowed selection of all clusters and still obtained the required number of measurement units by intra cluster random sampling.

The sampling procedure in Intervention areas followed the multi-stage cluster sampling utilizing PPS design to select fi nal clusters and random sampling to select intra cluster households, so as to obtain the results that are representative of each area (see Annex 2).

The fi rst stage included stratifi cation of programme areas into three broad strata, according to WFP sub-offi ce areas, namely, Kampong Cham, Kampong Speu and Siem Reap and their neighbouring provinces, in each of which the variation in the benefi ciary characteristics (see indicators) was supposed to be small.

In the second stage, two provinces from the Siem Reap stratum and one province each from the Kampong Cham and Kampong Speu strata were selected, in order to give the benefi ciaries in the strata the probability of participating in the study proportionate to the benefi ciary population size of stratum they belong to.

The third stage consisted of the allocation of the number of clusters (HCs) to each of the four provinces based on the population of the benefi ciaries in each province.

In the fourth stage, an allocated number of clusters were selected in each of the four sampled provinces by using the PPS technique.

In the fi fth stage, intra-cluster random sampling of households were conducted and each cluster was assigned the constant number of measurement units (households) to make sure that target members were suffi ciently well spread across enough clusters that survey estimates are not unduly infl uenced by a handful of clusters. Eleven PLHA and eight OVC were assigned to each cluster totaling 220 PLHA and 144 OVC in 20 clusters, which allowed 95% confi dence limit, 80% statistical power and design effect of 1.5.

2.2 Survey ToolsQuestionnairesQuantitativeQuestionnaires were developed based on the indicators identifi ed. For quantitative analysis, fi ve broad categories of indicators were further categorized into 12 groups in order to make it simpler for enumerators, data entry and data analysis. Questionnaires were tested to ascertain fast and reliable data entry in Statistical Package of the Social Science (SPSS), with least error. Each questionnaire was tested by dummy analysis design to ensure that each question generates the desired information for each indicator (see Annex 4).

QualitativeA qualitative study was also conducted to obtain behavioral change, perception and programme performance information and also to weigh and/or supplement the quantitative analysis. A total of 12 Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and 16 Key Informant Interview (KII) were held; eight FGD and eight KII in Intervention areas and four FGD and eight KII in Control areas were conducted. Two KIIs were also conducted at KHANA and WFP programme offi ces.

Questionnaires were translated into Khmer by Dr. Mak Munit, programme offi cer for M&E and Food Support at KHANA, and checked by the consultant with the assistance of Dr. Leng Kuoy, Team leader of M&E and Mr. Meas Kimsan, Programme Assistant of M&E at KHANA.

All questionnaires were pre-tested in the fi eld in Takeo Province, revised and fi nalized in compliance with local culture, understandability, and feasibility in form fi lling.

AnthropometryThe anthropometry measurements were taken by trained team members assigned specifi cally for anthropometry. The body weight of the PLHA and OVC over 5 years of age were measured using standardized bathroom scales measuring up to a maximum of 120 kg with increments of 100 grammes. Those under fi ve years of age were weighed using Salter spring scales. Weight measurements were taken with the child in light clothing.

The standing height was measured of children two years of age or older. Supine length was measured for children less than two years of age using the portable length measuring board. Two assigned measurers took the height or length measurements ensuring that the child’s legs were fully extended and that the child’s head touched the vertical headboard.

2.3 Survey TeamsSurvey team members were recruited by KHANA based on their qualifi cations and experience in both quantitative and qualitative research. All members selected were university graduates. Five survey teams were assigned to fi ve broad areas by provinces. A total of 25 team members, 19 enumerators and six facilitators/team leaders were divided according to the workload of each team (see Annex 5). The team leaders were selected based on their performance during training and planning sessions, observed by trainers. The teams collected data from 20 to 28 July 2006.

2.4 TrainingThe training was conducted by the consultant and Dr. Leng Kuoy, from 11 to 14 of July, and assisted by Mr. Sem Peng Sean and Mr. Meas Kimsan. Anthropometry training emphasized practice and standardization. Field testing was conducted in Takeo province on 17 July, on both quantitative and qualitative data collection, including anthropometric measurements. Feed-back, discussion, revision and fi nalization of the questionnaire were done on 18 July and survey planning and random selection of intra-cluster households from the list obtained from HBC teams were conducted on 19 July.

2.5 SupervisionTwo supervisors, Mr. Sem Peng Sean for Battambang, and Dr. Mak Munit for Prey Veng were assigned to the teams which had highest workload and potential of facing constraints in the fi eld. A mobile supervision unit was established which then visited each team and assessed interview techniques and accuracy of equipment. They also randomly sampled recently completed forms, checked for errors, discussed the mistakes with enumerators and the team leaders, shared positive techniques and common mistakes among teams, and held evening meetings to discuss problems faced in the fi eld. Twenty-four hour communication was maintained by cell phones among the teams, and there was also assistance from Dr Leng Kuoy, the M&E team leader from KHANA.

2.6 Database Design & Data EntryData entry started on 29 July and was carried out by a data entry team qualifi ed for SPSS. Data was entered using a form created in SPSS version 12. Work were divided and assigned to fi ve data entry operators with their own laptops and checked two times per day, once mid-way through the data-entry process and once at the end of the working day. The completed data set in SPSS format was handed over to the consultant on 7 August. The consultant carried out data cleaning with assistance from Mr. Kimsan.

2.7 Data QualityThe data collected by the survey teams was generally of a good quality. All the team members have qualifi ca-tions and experience in social science research. Team members were accustomed to working with each other. They applied lessons learned from their previous experiences to collect higher quality, more accurate data. All participated seriously in the training, winding-up and feedback sessions as well as in supervision fi eld discus-sions. Communication channels allowed immediate solutions to be found for unforeseen problems in the fi eld. Practice and standardization procedures assessing precision and accuracy of survey teams in anthropometric training ensured the correct measurements. Age data for children (OVC or PLHA) are recorded by birth dates. The data entry format was well prepared and established to meet the requirements for data analysis. The main strength of the survey is the use of PPS sampling methodology and strictly following the sampled clusters as much as possible. The weakness is the multiple stage sampling and thus the fi nal data set needed to be weighted. Detailed analysis of data quality is presented in the following chapter.

2.8 Data Analysis and Final ReportAfter data cleaning, the consultant conducted the data analysis by using CDC’s EPI Info2000 software to calcu-late the anthropometric results for OVC and PLHA. The remaining data cleaning/data analysis process uses the statistical analysis software program SPSS, version 12.0. The confi dence interval was set to 95% and results are considered signifi cant at the p <0.05 level. Signifi cance for comparisons among representative results of Control and Interventions areas are determined by using Chi Square analysis for proportions and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) / Post-hoc test for means.

The analysis stresses the comparability of the two data sets (Intervention and Control), each of which is repre-sentative of the respective group/area by sample size as well as survey design. It follows the statistical principle of ability to determine signifi cance test in comparison as long as the data set is normally distributed data (i.e. randomly selected as in simple random sampling or its simulated PPS sampling). To ensure normal distribution, allowing each measurement unit equal probability of selection in multiple stage sampling, all data were weighted using the formula recommended for weighting data resultant of sampling that are not based on probability of population size.

No attempt is made to compare the data between the provinces since it is not the objective of survey and nor does the sampling design possess the adequate statistical strength to present the data that are representative of either provinces or communes.

The preliminary report was submitted on 23 August 2006. The fi nal report was submitted on 12 September 2006.

There were only nine health center areas, which can be identifi ed as Control areas, in which KHANA/partners’ Home Care Teams are supporting PLHA and OVC without food support. Thus all the PLHA and OVC in Control areas, identified and available as measurement units were interviewed and their weight and height were measured.

Children below fi ve years of age are most vulnerable. WHO defi nes 10-19 years as “adolescents.” The United Nations defi nes 15-24 years as “youth”. WFP defi nes OVC as aged below 18 years of age, and at risk of exclu-sion from school and a possibility of having to work for money. This survey analyzed these age groups separately to describe the different characteristics. The gender distribution and age group distribution in Intervention and Control areas are found similar.

Page 13: PLHA and OVC with Home Based Care Evaluation andBaseline Survey 2006 Cambodia Food Support to PLHA and OVC with Home Based Care Aye Thwin Consultant September 2006This survey is made

Age grouping of PLHA was done by anthropometric analysis and reported with consideration of the following facts (6):

Children under-fi ve years are most vulnerable and have different characteristics;

The available reference data base for weight-for-height Z-score is most reliable only up to the age of 10 years in the currently available internationally recommended nutrition data base of Epi-Info8 ; Age group of OVC is defi ned by WFP as under-eighteen (up to 17) years; and

For the age group of 10-24 years, Body Mass Index (BMI) for age is recommended to present the nutritional status. The reference data base to compute BMI for age (cut-off being BMI for age 5th percentile) for the age group of 10-19 years is different by each one year age; and Expert committee on physical status has recommended that 18-24 years age group should be examined separately from age group of 25-49 years, because the difference of mean BMI between these two groups is more variable. Due to the above distribution, comparisons between Intervention and Control for both genders combined can not be performed in all except the 25-49 age group. Comparison can only be seen by separate gender in the other age groups.

From the above age and gender distribution, it is clear that OVC under-fi ve can not be compared if the genders are combined. Comparison should be performed only by separate gender. For other age groups, because dis-tribution is similar in both areas, comparison can be performed by combined gender as well as by separate gender.

1.3 Assessment of data quality Missing and Improbable ValuesThe proportion of measurements that are missing or biologically implausible is a helpful index for data quality assessment. Such extreme values indicate the errors in the anthropometric measurement itself or in the reported age. For the purpose of analysis the following exclusion criteria are used for each anthropometric index based on WHO-CDC recommendations9.

Values beyond the maximum and minimum cut-off are likely to be errors and thus treated as missing values.

Most reliable reference data base for weight-for-height Z score is available only for 0-10 year age group. Thus all three anthropometric indices were checked for missing values and were found to be around 1%. Because missing values for HAZ and WHZ scores are found more than 1%, they were re-checked by Means and Standard Deviations (SD), as follows:

Table 1.3.b. Mean and Standard Deviation of weight-for-age, height-for age and weight-for-height Z-scores among OVC of 0-10 year age group.

Survey group

weight-for-age Z-score height-for age Z-score weight-for-height Z-score

Mean SD Mean SD Mean SD

Intervention -1.88 1.05 -2.05 1.33 -0.89 1.19

Control -1.97 1.31 -1.81 1.371 -1.35 1.11

The standard deviation of an anthropometric index refl ects the intrinsic variability of the index in the population and the variability due to measurement error. With accurate age estimates and anthropometric measurements, the SD of the observed Z-score distribution should be relatively constant and close to the expected value of 1.0 for the reference distribution. World Health Organization-1995 has reported usual ranges for the standard deviations of anthropometric indices observed in a large number of surveys, which serve as a guide to assess the quality of anthropometric data. The majority of the survey populations ranged within approximately 0.2 units of the expected value: 1.00 to 1.20 for weight-for-age, 1.10 to 1.30 for height-for-age, and 0.85 to 1.10 for weight-for-height. Survey data with standard deviation values higher than these values implies there may be errors with the age or anthro-pometric data. Values less than these imply a population with little intrinsic variation and no problems with age or anthropometric data.

The observed values in both Intervention and Control areas are found to be consistent with the reference range of Standard Deviations for all three indicators. This fi nding indicates the accuracy and profound quality of age estimates and anthropometric measurements by the survey teams.

There was only one PLHA in the 0-10 year age group, thus quality analysis could not be performed. For adoles-cent and adult anthropometry, data quality was checked visually by multiple and sub-set measurements.

2. Socio-economic and demographic situation

Socio-economic characteristics of Intervention and Control areas are analyzed to decide whether the two areas are statistically comparable for the analysis of difference attributed to the food support Intervention. In other words, in was tested whether possible confounding factors of basic socio-economic situation, is well controlled in case-Control analysis, as follows.

Table 2. Average vulnerability analysis and mapping scores in two areas

Areas mean VAM score frequency of communes signifi cance test

According to VAM score as the result of multiple indicator analysis including poverty and nutrition status conducted in 2004, by communes, mean VAM scores are apparently similar and difference is statistically not signifi cant between two areas.

Further analysis of socio-economic indicators in the current survey also reveals the similarity in both areas as shown below.

Mean family sizes are different for OVC and PLHA households, ranging from 4.3 to 5.4. The fi nding is consistent with the national data. The Cambodia Socio-economic Survey-2004 reported in its projection analysis, the declining trend of total fertility rate from 3.99 in 1998, to 3.46 in 2002 to 3.12 in 2005. Rapid community appraisal by the consultant revealed that the education and support for family planning by NGOs through the government structure of Health Centers in rural areas contribute to this effect.

Difference between Intervention and Control areas shows no signifi cance.

The reason is examined in the qualitative analysis; ten out of 12 FGD and all in-depth interviews reveal that selling agricultural assets is the last resort people seek as a coping strategy. Observations also show that various NGOs in the Control areas are already supporting income-generation activities and micro-fi nancing mechanisms. Moreover, safe water supplies and

* Difference not signifi cant

Although proportions of households taking loans during past 12 months seems to be a little bit higher in Intervention areas, the food support in Intervention areas has proved its ability to reduce the need for loans. This is demonstrated in the analysis of the average frequency of loans during the past year (signifi cantly lower at p value of 0.032 in Intervention areas) and amount of most recent loan (apparently, although not evidenced by statistical signifi cance, this is lower in Intervention areas, at 0.43 million Riels, compared with 1.55 million in Control areas).

Further analysis would allow more understanding of how the food support programme works towards positive changes in those households and communities.

Analysis of the different sources of loans suggests that community development activities are more active in Intervention areas and also that the PLHA and their families in these areas gain skills for less negative coping even in seeking sources of loans. Even though differences are not statistically signifi cant, it is apparent that PLHA households seek their loans less from high-risk sources (such as money-lenders, neighbors, private banks), and more from low-risk sources such as community funds or NGOs, in comparison with their counterparts in Control areas.

This demonstrates better food security and health status in food support programme areas.

Similarly, more expenditure on productive investment, in terms of education (30.7%) and agriculture (1.7%) in Intervention areas, compares with less investment in Control areas, in terms of education (15.5%) and agriculture (1.6%). This demonstrates an improvement in positive behavior towards longer term development and self-reliance in food productivity in programme areas.

However the inability to work is less likely to be the main reason in Intervention areas than in Control areas (80% vs100%).

Proportion of households which sold their assets of land or buildings are the same in both areas (around 10-11% each), while none of the households sold their agricultural assets. The reason for this, as identifi ed in qualitative analysis, is that the selling of agricultural assets is the seen as the last resort for a coping strategy. Various NGOs are also supporting income- generation activities and micro-fi nance mechanisms, as well as safe water supplies and sanitary latrines. The effect of these development activities on coping mechanisms can not be differentiated from the effect of food support.

The percentage of households taking loans is similar in the two areas, which can be explained by the fact that 89% of OVC in Intervention and 90% in Control areas have been fostered by the households interviewed. It means that OVC households are not necessarily affected by the loss of OVC’s parents because the majority of OVC are fostered by other households. Among the OVC households where OVC are not fostered, mean frequencies are similar but amount loans are even higher in Intervention areas. For OVCs who lost parents and are not fostered, the effect of food support is not clearly seen.

Sources of loans to OVC households suggest a similar pattern as found in PLHA households, suggesting active community development activities in Intervention areas. It is apparent that OVC households in Intervention areas seek their loans less from high-risk sources (i.e. money-lenders, neighbors, private banks), and more from low-risk sources such as community funds or NGOs, in comparison with their counterparts in Control areas.

* Difference of food expenditure between two areas is signifi cant at P<0.1

Less expenditure on food and health (33% and 6% respectively of total expenditure) in Intervention areas compares with greater expenditure on food and health in Control areas (57% and 12% respectively). This demonstrates better food security and health status in food support programme areas. More expenditure on productive investment; education (27%) and agriculture (3%) in Intervention areas compares with less investment in Control areas; education (7%) and agriculture (0.8%). This demonstrates an improvement in positive behavior for longer term development and self-reliant food productivity in programme areas. It shows the same pattern as in PLHA households.

Key fi ndings Statistically signifi cant effects of the food support programme in mitigating the impact of HIV/AIDS on coping mechanisms is seen in Intervention areas as:

lower frequency of loans to PLHA households;

loans from more community sources by OVC households; and

lower food expenditure as proportion of total expenditure.

Assets are not much affected in both Intervention and Control areas. Active development and income-generation activities of some NGOs are improving the situation in both areas.

Although statistically not signifi cant, positive changes in both PLHA and OVC households are quite apparent in Intervention areas as:

loans from low-risk sources like community fund or NGO;

loans are more for agricultural investment in programme areas, compared with more loans for illness in Control areas (potentially showing improved nutrition leading to improved health); and

less expenditure on food and medicine, and more expenditure on agriculture and schooling.

As with PLHA households, OVC households in Intervention areas also takes loans more to invest in income generation activities (42%) and less because of illness (10.5%), while reasons for loans in Control areas are more for illness (36%) and for food (12.5%) and less for investment (15%).

The assessment utilizes four proxy indicators for food security: consumption of diverse food groups, food shortage, meal frequency and food expenditure.

4.1.1.1 Consumption of diverse food groupsBased on the major nutritional content of each food item and the requirements of a nutritionally-balanced diet, the survey studies the food consumed by PLHA and OVC and their families, by fi ve gross categories of group:

1. Major energy-yielding staple foods; mainly rice, maize, other cereals, wheat (noodles and others), potato, cassava, other roots and tubers;

2. Energy condensed food; oil and fats;

3. Major protein-yielding food; animal protein sources such as poultry and meats, milk and milk products, eggs, fi sh and seafood including dried fi sh and fermented fi sh paste;

4. Vegetable protein; mainly nuts, legumes, beans; and

5. Source of vitamins and minerals and electrolytes such as vegetables and fruits

No households in either area consumed less than three food groups. Observations shows that rice, vegetable and fi sh paste are common one day meals for poor families. Consumption patterns are found to be similar in both areas; only one quarter of households consumed all fi ve groups and the majority consumed four groups in one day. More households in Control areas consumed fewer food groups.

As fi sh paste cannot be consumed up to the amount that can provide a substantial nutrition value of protein, and oil serves as the main energy condenser in a poor family’s daily meal, the consumption of those two food items are carefully considered in analysis. More households are found to consume animal protein (in addition to fi sh-paste) and oil in Intervention areas than in Control areas.

4.1.1.2 Shortage of food Shortage of three major foods; rice, maize as a substitute for rice in scarce seasons, and oil are examined. None of the households in either area experienced shortage of all these three food items together continuously for at least one month, during the past year. However, there have been shortages of individual food items.

Further analysis of the extent of food expenditure as proportion of total expenditure reveals that PLHA house-holds in Intervention areas with food assistance are less likely to be in serious need of food to purchase from out side and thus have ability to transfer their income to other development assets, as has been described in the previous chapter.

4.1.1.4 Food Expenditure

4.1.2 Nutrition

Nutritional status of PLHA was analyzed by anthropometric indices with the reference database from World Health Organization/National Center for Health Statistic (WHO/NCHS) utilizing Epi-Info-2000 software. All PLHA in this study appear in the age range of 5 years and above. The majority are in the range of 25 years and above (195). The 5-10 year group consists only of two people, there are fi ve in the 11-17 year group, and seven in the 18-24 year group. There were no identifi ed PLHA under 20 years of age in the Control group to compare. Therefore the nutritional status of PLHA is analyzed mainly by adult Body Mass Index (BMI) for the population of 20 years and over following the principles stated below.

Low weight for height in the adults is defi ned as “Chronic Energy Defi ciency” (CED) categorized on the basis of Body Mass Index (BMI). BMI is described as a unit of the result of weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters. Low BMI (below 18.5) is defi ned also as “thinness” and classifi ed as below, according to the WHO expert committee on physical status (1995).

For the age group of 11-24 years, Body Mass Index (BMI) for age is recommended to present the nutritional status.

The reference data base to compute BMI for age (cut-off being BMI for age 5th percentile) for the 10-19 age group is different by each one year age.

It has been recommended that the 18-24 years age group should be examined separately from the age group of 25-49 years, because differences of the mean BMI between these two groups are signifi cantly variable.

WHO classifi cation of adult BMI Thinness or CED

BMI is an important means of objectively assessing the degree of nutritional or other socioeconomic deprivation in a population. The distribution of low BMI as a public health problem in a population indicates the presence of food insecurity or the catabolic consequences of widespread infectious diseases, such as AIDS and tuberculosis. It points to the vulnerability of certain members of the population with marginal energy reserves, in the event of drought, seasonal food shortages or epidemics. Mean adult BMI and BMI distribution (CED prevalence) are very responsive to social, health or agricultural interventions including food supplementation. To evaluate the impact of the project, the survey assessed the BMI status of PLHA who are targeted benefi ciaries of the Intervention. The population distribution of BMI can provide valuable guidance for the planning of development programmes especially in those aiming to improve total food supply.

Although there is no statistical signifi cance, the mean BMI of adult PLHA in general shows higher in Intervention areas, in both genders. To be more accurate the analysis needs to be done in more age group divisions.

Many studies have indicated that the difference in mean BMI of women in the younger age group (18-25 years) from those aged 26-40 years is more variable. An expert committee on physical status has recommended that this younger age group be examined separately from older cohorts and that results are subjected to prudent interpretation. Because of the diffi culty in establishing appropriate limits of BMI in young adults, it is noted that particular care is needed to avoid the misclassifi cation of a large portion of people in this age group as mildly or moderately thin. When the BMI of these groups is analyzed separately, the results change as shown below. The actual situation of the population is more accurately refl ected in the 26-49 year age group.

4.1.3 Health

Although the food support in the current programme assists mainly to improve household food adequacy, it also encourages the reduction of opportunistic infections due to improvement of the immune system through better food and nutrition. As expected, the likelihood of getting a superimposed infection is apparently signifi -cantly lower among PLHA in Intervention areas.

When analyzing the pattern of infections, PLHA in Intervention areas appear to have fewer infections across the spectrum. PLHA in Control areas suffer from more severe infections, so fewer people reported small minor illness under the question “others”.

** Differences - Statistically signifi cant; P<0.00

More OVC households are found to consume animal protein (in addition to fi sh-paste) and oil in Intervention areas than in Control areas. Food support (although only rice, oil, and salt) is apparently enabling the households to consume food of high nutritional value indirectly by means of income transfer (i.e. income that would have been used to purchase rice, is now being used to purchase other food items). Improvement in food security as the result of the programme, evidenced by this proxy indicator is statistically signifi cant.

Further analysis of the extent of expenditure on food as a proportion of total expenditure reveals that like PLHA households, OVC households in Intervention areas appear less likely to be in serious need of food to purchase from outside.

4.2.2 Nutrition

Nutritional status of OVC was analyzed by anthropometric indices with the reference database from WHO/NCHS utilizing Epi-Info-2000 software. According to the selection criteria, all OVC under this study are in the age range of below 18 years. According to the anthropometric reference data bases for analysis and interpre-tation, nutrition status of OVC over the age of 10 year was analyzed by BMI. The nutrition indices for the most vulnerable age group, under-fi ves, are separately analyzed from the 5-10 year age group.

OVC have two distinct characteristics; prolonged suffering from food-insecurity and poverty (identifi ed by VAM analysis of WFP). When they become OVC they become vulnerable to lack of care and additional food shortage. Food support programmes to OVC aim to mitigate those negative impacts. To measure the effectiveness of this programme, the study uses three anthropometric indicators.

For OVC age 0-10 years: 1. Wasting or weight for height Z score, which refl ects the current food and nutrition deprivation situation and infections (6),(11);

2. Stunting or height for age Z score which is sensitive to prolonged food assistance, especially among 6-23 months children. The effect can be measured among the 24 to 59 months age group after 2-3 years of Intervention (11) ; and

Page 40: PLHA and OVC with Home Based Care Evaluation andBaseline Survey 2006 Cambodia Food Support to PLHA and OVC with Home Based Care Aye Thwin Consultant September 2006This survey is made

40

For those 11-17 years: 3. BMI

4.2.2.1 Weight-for height

Low weight-for-height is generally defi ned as thinness. It can be interpreted as weight signifi cantly below the weight expected of a child of the same length or height. For those populations in which prevalence of thinness substantially exceeds the 2-3% expected on the basis of normal distribution, it can be defi ned as “wasting”.

High prevalence of low weight-for-height or wasting is indicative of severe recent or current events, acute starvation and/or severe disease resulting in failure to gain weight or actual weight loss. Causes include inadequate food intake, incorrect feeding practices, disease and infection or combination of all.

The weight-for-height indicator is appropriate for examining short-term effects such as seasonal changes in food supply, disaster or shot-term nutritional stress brought about by illness. In emergency situations like famine, the wasting prevalence among children under-fi ve years of age is strongly predictive of concurrent short-term crude mortality of the population.

For targeting food supplementation in areas where wasting is common, weight-for-height is the ideal indicator for selecting those communities likely to gain most from a proposed Intervention. This recommendation is appropriate for current WFP-MCH programmes in Cambodia.

In non-emergency situations weight-for-height is the poorest predictor of mortality within the following year. However, determinants of low weight-for-height may be identified by comparing wasted and non-wasted children or weight-for-height Z-scores as a continuous variable, in non-disaster situation. Because of its very sensitive response to short-term infl uences, wasting is not advised as a measurement of change in non-emergency situations since it is highly susceptible to seasonality.

The situation of OVC in WFP targeted areas with the current deprivation of food and proneness to infections calls for the need to be tested by the weight-for height indicator.

The normal reference value of the population mean of weight-for-height Z score is regarded as Zero and any value below zero is regarded as below normal or malnourished.

*** Statistically signifi cant at P<0.01

The mean weight-for-height Z score which is the sensitive indicator for current deprivation of food and/or existence of severe infection reveals that the food support programme has positive nutritional impact on OVC aged between 5-10 years. The statistical signifi cance test proves that the impact is solely attributable to programme’s input.

Among the under-fi ves children, the indicator does not show any improvement. Instead, it visibly appears to be worse in Intervention areas although statistically not approved. This pattern can be due to the complex nature of the age group; psychologically fragile and very much in need of psychological, as well as physical care (such as care in feeding), particularly at the time of loss of parents or care person.

42

Elder OVC in Intervention areas are also benefi ting from the programme signifi cantly more than those in non-programme Control areas. Improvement in Body Mass Index can also be soley attributed to the programme as its nutritional impact.

4.2.2.2 Height-for-age - Stunting

Low height for age (length for age in 6-24 months children) is identifi ed as stunting. Stunting refl ects a slowing in the growth of the fetus and the child and a resulting failure to achieve the expected length as compared to a healthy, well-nourished child of the same age. It is associated with a number of long-term factors including chronic insuffi cient protein and energy intake, frequent infection, sustained inappropriate feeding practices and poverty. Stunting data is not recommended for monitoring as it does not change in the short term such as 6-12 months (16), and is an indicator of past growth failure. However stunting in the younger age group also indicates a continuing effect of these inadequacies (6).

In analysis of stunting, the aggregation of data for children less than 24 months with those over 24 months is not recommended. For evaluation purposes the presentation of stunting data for children less than 24 months is useful. An Intervention among children under 24 months is likely to be more effective than among children of 24-59 months. This is because: 1) the determinants of stunting in older children are more varied: and 2) stunting in older children may refl ect historical nutritional or health stress and can be “permanent” i.e. not responsive to any intervention (16).

Presentation of the stunting data for children less than 24 months in the two communities (Intervention and Control) is intended for use in problem analysis and in designing interventions. Data for older children (24-59 months age group) will be used for evaluation purposes.

In comparing before and after Intervention, or Intervention and Control, it is intended to see the effect of Intervention. In the case of stunting, the effect of Intervention on children under 24 months of age in preventing growth retardation will refl ect in the stature of children 24-59 months age at the time of evaluation. Thus for comparison purposes, the 24-59 month age group is selected to capture the cumulative and lagged effect that the food assistance project would have on stunting.

The situation of OVC in WFP targeted areas (high poverty level as defi ned by VAM) with the chronic long term deprivation of food, points out the need to be tested by height-for-age indicator as well.

The normal reference value of the population mean of height-for-age Z score is regarded as Zero and any value below zero is regarded as below normal or malnourished.

The benefi ciaries of the programme and the most sensitive age group to programme input on long standing food support, 6-23 months old OVC in Intervention areas, show improvement compared with those in Control areas, as refl ected in height-for age Z score among the 24-59 months age group. Nevertheless, statistical tests do not show signifi cance for this indicator in this age group. This can be partly explained by an insuffi cient number of variables for proper statistical tests in this age group.

4.2.3 Health

One of the survey’s objectives was to examine the infections OVC have experienced during the past two weeks and the care provided to them. Since all OVC were experiencing at least one infection during that time, the survey examined the number of OVC who got more than one infection. Control areas are more prone to infection.

The proportions of OVC who receive care by health personnel are not signifi cantly different between the two areas; however, the reasons for not getting proper treatment are signifi cant. Compared to Intervention areas, other commitments (and not the distance) are the main reason for a signifi cantly higher number of OVC in Control areas not receiving care by health professionals. Care for OVC is obviously more appreciated in Intervention areas.

Key fi ndings The statistically signifi cant effect of the programme in mitigating the impact of HIV/AIDS on food security, nutrition and health is evidenced by the following fi ndings in Intervention areas compared with Control areas:

more food groups consumed in OVC households;

more animal protein and oil consumption by OVC households;

less OVC households experience rice shortages;

higher mean weight-for-height Z score of OVC in the 5-10 year age group;

Page 44: PLHA and OVC with Home Based Care Evaluation andBaseline Survey 2006 Cambodia Food Support to PLHA and OVC with Home Based Care Aye Thwin Consultant September 2006This survey is made

44

Higher BMI of 11-17 years old OVC; and

fewer secondary infections in PLHA

Though statistically not signifi cant, the following indicators apparently shows the better performance in programme areas:

More food groups consumed by PLHA households;

Less food shortages in PLHA households;

Higher BMI of PLHA:

Higher height-for-age Z score in OVC in the 5-10 year age group; and

Fewer infections and of less frequency and shorter duration among OVC.

No difference in weight-for-height Z score in under-fi ves can be explained because of the insuffi cient number of cases for statistical analysis; a total of fi ve for both areas.

Among children who are not currently enrolled in school, the average number of years they have missed is signifi cantly higher among females in Control areas (compared to Intervention).

Even among the children currently enrolled in school, those who have missed school, have missed an average of 2-3 months. There is no signifi cant difference between areas or genders.

Around 85% of the children are planning to enroll next term. The fi gures are similar in both areas and regardless of gender.

The mean number of repeated classes by children in Intervention and Control areas, regardless of gender, is similar in both areas at around 0.5 classes.

For most of the schooling indicators, there are no signifi cant differences between genders and between areas. Only the mean length of time that has been missed from school (in years) is signifi cantly longer in Control areas and among females.

The food support programme proves its positive impact on schooling of OVC, especially for girls. The proportion of girl OVC currently enrolled in school is signifi cantly higher in Intervention areas. This fact becomes clear in FGD with communities:-

« Now she does not need to work for money, she is strong enough to go to school. She is happy at school because she does not need to worry about home and her Mom. »

A large percentage of children are planning to enroll in school next term. However, these percentages are lower in Control areas and among females. Among females there is larger difference between Control and Intervention areas.

Approximately half a term has been repeated by male students in both areas. Female students are apparently repeating more classes in Control areas. None is signifi cant statistically.

Key fi ndings The achievement in preventing and mitigating the negative impact of HIV/AIDS on schooling is evidenced as the sole attribute of the programme by statistically signifi cant improvement of the following indicators in Intervention areas:-

Shorter duration of missing schooling in years in children of PLHA and OVC households;

More OVC girls currently enrolled; and

Shorter duration of missing schools in years by OVC girls.

6. Integrating with development activities, and improving livelihoods. Ability to participate in ARV treatment, education, and vocational training.

6.1 PLHA

One of the objectives of the food support programme is to attract PLHA to proper treatment regimes, and to give them the time and resources to enable them to stick to those regimes, as well, the time and resources of PLHA to enable them to regularly participate in proper treatment regimes.

Although all PLHA in both areas are currently receiving ARV treatment, more PLHA under the food support programme are regularly attending ARV treatment regimes for longer durations than their counterparts in the Control areas.

More OVC in Intervention areas are participating and completing various livelihood trainings than their counter-parts in Control areas, and differences are statistically signifi cant in all trainings.

Key fi ndings Programme’s significant impact on improving livelihood in Intervention areas is as follows:

So more OVC girls are fostered, and

more OVC are participating in all variety of livelihood trainings.

Although statistically not significant:

more PLHA in Intervention areas are regularly attending ARV treatment for longer duration;

more PLHA are participating in all livelihood trainings;

more OVC are attending school and vocational trainings and assisting in household work; and

OVC are studying more hours per day.

7. Integrating with development activities Behavioral changes in communities, operational performance of KHANA partners, and challenges and opportunities for future programming

To assess the behavioral change in the community and HBC teams and to further explore the challenges and opportunities of the programme operation, the survey team conducted a qualitative study; in-depth interviews, focus group discussions and observations, and analyzed them by triangulation techniques.

7.1 StudyA total of 12 FGD and 16 in-depth interviews were conducted. Four FGD were held for research topic 1, and eight in-depth interviews for combined topics 1 and 2 were conducted with the HBC teams and community leaders in Intervention areas. For research topic two; four FGD in Intervention areas and four FGD in Control areas were held, in addition to eight in-depth interviews in Control areas, with benefi ciaries, community members and volunteers.

Each focus group includes a mix of male and female participants. All participants reflect the diversity of the programme’s benefi ciaries as PLHA, OVC, care giver, ordinary community member and community volunteer (e.g support group member).

Observations are made during visits and also during quantitative data collection to assess the situation of households, food storage and kitchen condition, development activities in the community, and community interaction in the village.

The assessment conducts the triangulation analysis to verify and balance the fi ndings.

7.2 Key FindingsResearch Topic 1: Problems and constraints encountered by KHANA and HBC teams in monitoring and managing of food distribution.

Regular and refresher trainings for most NGO partners have been conducted on food management and reporting on the logistical aspects of food distribution. The training has been conducted by KHANA and WFP.

Despite clear criteria from KHANA, the selection of food support benefi ciaries has, on occasion, been problematic. This has occurred when the NGO partners attempt to follow the criteria but are misled by the complexity of the situation at household level. For example, there is evidence that some households are receiving double rations because the wife chose to live separately from her husband when he tested positive for HIV and then returned to him when she also tested positive for HIV. By this time, both parties have become eligible, applied for and received food support but have not informed the NGO that they are once again living under the same roof.

Stakeholders involved at all levels of the Intervention require further capacity building in some issues that would further enhance the effectiveness of the programme, such as: clear instructions and training in participatory planning, selection criteria and rationale, and an increase in the basic knowledge of Home Based Care Teams and programme staff on food and nutrition with special reference to HIV/AIDS.

The communities have an appreciative perception of the work of the HBC teams with no evidence of negative attitudes towards team members or their work.

“In 2000, the organization started to come and help people with HIV. After that, food support came and it has really improved the lives of those people. Neighbors are also starting to help them.”

Together with the fi ndings of research topic 2, it is apparent that regular and timely information fl ow is required for programme management. If actual practices and occurrences at the ground level (such as incomplete practice of information dissemination to communities, welfare support with nutritionally controversial items, and discrepancies in the selection process), were known to management in time, then, consequently, analysis, feed back and programme adjustments could have been made in a timely manner.

Summary

Food management trainings have been conducted;

Selection of benefi ciaries has been a constraint at fi eld level;

Clear operational guidelines and basic training on nutrition and BCC are required;

The communities have an appreciative perception of the work of the HBC teams; and

There is a need for monitoring mechanisms with regular and timely information fl ows.

Research Topic 2: Changes in benefi ciary and community perception towards food support programme.

The qualitative data suggests that information about the programme has not been fully disseminated to the communities by most of the NGO partners. Eighty-three percent of participants did not know which organizations were involved in the assistance and what were the aims of the assistance. Sixty-seven percent stated that they were instructed to get a blood test and after that, they would get a food ration. Around 70% of community leaders were informed of the food support and the selection criteria but it was not discussed with them in detail. It was apparent that the communities did not expect to participate in the planning of the programme, although they did want to be fully informed and clear about the project.

Participatory planning of the selection of benefi ciaries, food distribution sites and monitoring has been partially practiced by some partners. Thirty percent of community leaders and FGD participants stated that there were regular meetings at the NGO sites. As a result, food distribution sites were selected and adjusted to the need of benefi ciaries.

“We choose the middle point to distribute. This was suggested by PLHA during the meeting.”

A community volunteer, Norea 2 village, Norea commune, Battambang district.

The food quality and type is culturally acceptable and appropriate.

There are no problems of storage, especially for large families of six or more. Current rations are adequate for small families of four or fi ve. For large families the monthly rations last for approximately two weeks.

The livelihood trainings have been widely participated, in programme areas and many basic life skills have been conveyed to the benefi ciaries.

“We have been trained how to take care of our health, and the importance of clean bodies.”

PLHA in Roveang commune, Takeo province

However, little knowledge has been gained on food and nutrition. The communities (i.e. leaders, volunteers and benefi ciaries) can not explain about the nutritional advantage of food especially for PLHA and OVC, the importance of food for HIV-affected persons, and nutritional requirements. They regard food only as a means of preventing hunger and as a means of income transfer.

“Benefi t of food is relieving hunger, and better life. Now she (OVC) can go to school because she does not need to work to earn money for food.”

Community leader, Roveang commune, Takeo province

54

The HBC team leaders are aware of the nutritional requirements, the side effects of drugs on food intake (during ART) and the advantages of good nutrition for combating drugs’ side effects. Yet nobody in the community can repeat this knowledge, i.e. the nutritional needs of PLHA, food and drug interactions, care in food consumption during ARV treatment, and preparation of nutritionally-balanced food etc. Furthermore, some NGO partners were distributing controversial items like MSG (Mono-Sodium Glutamate) as part of their welfare activities. A need of proper training on food and nutrition is apparent.

Community members feel that other poor families with young children should also get food support and that PLHA and OVC households need additional support, such as shelter, because all their assets were sold before the HBC programme started.

Sitha was so shy when she found out that she was infected with HIV, that she did not even tell the HBC team. Her parents sold everything including their house and land to pay for Sitha’s medicines and health care. Now they don’t have any shelter, even in the rainy season.

Too much appreciation on food and other material support is observed as potential for developing dependency. However, six FGD (50%) revealed the communities’ desire for self-reliance.

“We want to establish a community fund so that we can help those in need.”

Community member,Tourl Ta Ek village, Battambang

Achievements in development activities like income-generation and small loans for businesses, contributing to behavior change and livelihood status, have been observed in some Intervention areas but not all.

OVC and PLHA were outcasts before the Intervention but social stigma has been decreasing since the HBC teams and their community support groups became active in counseling and psychosocial support to PLHA and OVC, and community education.

Since the start of the Intervention, the PLHA who have been denied jobs have been denied only on the basis of skill or strength. They indicated that jobs were not denied on the basis of discrimination.

Summary

Although participatory planning, especially in benefi ciary selection and feasibility of food collection by beneficiaries, has been practiced in some areas, information dissemination to communities about the programme has not been fully accomplished in most areas.

Food quality and type is culturally acceptable and appropriate.

There is no problem of storage, but the monthly ration is not enough for large families

Life skills training has been conveyed to benefi ciaries on self-health care, hygiene etc, but further training on nutrition for PLHA and OVC is required.

The communities would like other forms of social support in addition to food

The success of development activities in some areas are seen as an essential part of reducing the risk of dependency on food aid.

Social stigma has been decreasing since the start of the programme

No case of employment denied on the basis of discrimination.

Food rations to PLHA and OVC households in conjunction with existing home based care activities is an appropriate approach. Positive trends have been achieved. The objective to mitigate the impact of HIV/AIDS on PLHA and OVC in terms of food security, and livelihoods, is generally achieved. Moreover, contributing to education (i.e. assisting access to formal, informal, and vocational education) for longer-term development, security and self-reliance is indicative of an effective exit strategy. It is also providing urgent resources of food and nutrition to those poverty-stricken, HIV-infected families, and therefore contributing to better health, livelihoods and more earning opportunities.

Some important indicators have strongly proved the impact of the programme on food security, nutrition and better involvement of benefi ciaries in development programmes. Other indicators, while showing an improved situation in Intervention areas, can not statistically prove the impact of the programme. In these cases, the improvement can be also be attributed to existing home care activities and other development programmes implemented in the areas by community organizations.

In-depth qualitative studies and triangulation analysis (i.e. observation, in-depth interviews and FGD) reveal the fact that although the livelihood trainings have been much participated in, in programme areas, little knowledge has been gained. Participants cannot recall the nutritional needs of PLHA and OVC, food and drug interactions, self-care in food consumption during ARV treatment, or preparation methods for nutritionally-balanced food etc. Some HBC teams and NGO partners are distributing some controversial items like MSG and noodles by using welfare cash from KHANA.

Food and other support should be continued and other options are to be explored. Achievement in development activities like income-generation and small loans for business are contributing to behavior change and livelihood status in some areas, which in turn leads to communities placing a value on self-reliance.

The implementation of a participatory planning mechanism is strongly recommended for the food support programme. This would enable KHANA and WFP to become more visible among the communities and beneficiaries involved in the programme and would enable those communities to have a greater understanding of the purpose, criteria and impact of the food programme.

It is also necessary for the selection criteria of benefi ciaries receiving food support to be reviewed with KHANA’s partners so that there is no misunderstanding or neglect of the guidelines related to benefi ciary selection.

These fi ndings also suggest that KHANA should review its monitoring and information processes from the fi eld to head offi ce, so that problems can be more effectively addressed and that the data collected from the fi eld is complete, accurate and useful.

8. Discussion and Recommendations

56

Conclusion

The food support programme should continue as it clearly has a positive impact on food security, nutrition and livelihoods, and is essential for PLHA and OVC. However, food support must be provided in a comprehensive manner as part of a longer-term development strategy. KHANA and its partners have already begun to do this but more intensive development activities that integrate proper IEC and BCC strategies, now need to take place. Integrated HBC with food support, although the primary aim is care and support, has great potential to link with wider development activities that will help vulnerable communities. If the capacities of current operating partners are not suffi cient enough, KHANA should try to seek additional partners who engage in wider development activities (income-generation, water supplies and sanitation), and have experience and expertise in these fi elds.

Although the programme has made a difference in terms of improved nutrition, the general nutritional status of PLHA and OVC is still relatively lower and requires special attention. A nutritionally-targeted programme (i.e. not simply the provision of rations, but nutrient support to target benefi ciaries and integrated nutrition education BCC approach) is highly recommended for future planning.

NGO partners should have clear guidelines for multiplier training (i.e. ToT training downwards), participatory planning and information dissemination to communities. Standard guidelines should be developed with the participation of the NGO partners.

The basic food and nutrition training for HBC teams as outlined in the KHANA training manuals need to be expanded, developed and combined with BCC skills training, emphasizing the particular needs of PLHA (and OVC). A food and nutrition training curriculum should be developed expanded and edited by means of sharing feedback among knowledgeable professionals before use at fi eld level.

Capacity building for NGO and KHANA staff in terms of knowledge of basic food and nutrition for PLHA and OVC, participatory approaches and BCC is essential.

A monitoring system needs to be established with regular and timely information fl ows between every level, from senior management to programme level to NGO partners at operational level. The required information may include essential programme components; such as information dissemination to communities, participatory planning, any discrepancies in benefi ciary selection, and gaps between support, knowledge and needs of benefi ciaries (such as knowledge on food, ART and nutrition, transportation etc). The means of information collection may include appropriate reporting, regular fi eld monitoring with check lists, and regular meetings with partner NGOs. The monitoring system should include analysis using specifi c formats, which can translate the data into information for planners and managers, and regular and participatory feed-back and problem solving mechanisms at all levels.

Currently, the food support programme is manned by a manager and assisted by a programme assistant from the Monitoring and Evaluation Unit at KHANA. Their responsibilities are mainly to collect and compile the quarterly reports according to WFP’s guidelines and report to WFP. However, other programmes/teams at KHANA have better man power and conduct regular fi eld visits for their own programmes. Little dialogue has been seen between food support and other teams. A checklist to gather essential information for management support should be developed in a cross-cutting way among the programmes/teams. The food support programme needs to be part of KHANA’s integrated M&E system.

Exit criteria for food support and nutritionally-targeted support should be clearly set up through a careful participatory planning process as part of the development package, to avoid dependency and to aim at sustained development.

Annex 1WFP Operational Defi nitions (for eligibility for food support)

Eligible PLHA households refer to the PLHA households which suffer from food and food income shortage during their illness and/or have children who are unable to attend school etc. Their living standard should be poor in order to qualify for food assistance.

PLHA refers a person who self-identifi es as HIV+ and who is known to be HIV+ by community leaders and/or health center staff.

OVC; Orphans and Vulnerable children. Orphans are generally considered as children who do not have a living parent (either father or mother) and whose age is under 18. Vulnerable children usually refers to those children living in a household affected by HIV. OVC also refer to children who suffer from well-founded incidences of exclusion, abuse, discrimination and social stigma.

Household refers all persons within one family, including foster families, who have lived under the same roof for the last year.

Head of household refers to the main decision-maker within a household

Primary care giver of OVC refers to the main person within an OVC household who is responsible for caring for the OVC in that household.

Annex 2Sample size calculation

Required sample size is calculated based on the formula described in the chapter “Calculating sample size requirement for indicators that are, means or totals” in the reference book “Sampling Guide” by Robert Magnani, Food and Nutrition Technical Assistance Series, USAID, 1987.

n=D [(Z. + Z.)2 * (sd12 + sd2

2) / (X2 - X1)2 ]

n = required minimum sample size per survey round or comparison groupD = design effect for cluster surveys (use default value of 2, as discossed in Section 3.4)X1 = the estimated level of an indicator at the time of the fi rst survey or for the Control areaX2 = the expected level of the indicator either at some future date or for the project area such that the quantity ( X2 - X1 ) is the size of the magintude of change or comparison-group differences it is desired to be able to detect

sd1 and sd2 = expected standard deviations for the indications for the respective survey round or comparison groups being compared

Z. = the z-score corresponding to the degree of confi dence with which it is desired to be able to conclude that an observed change of size ( X2 - X1 ) would not have occurred by chance ( statistical signifi cance ), andZ. = the z-score corresponding to the degree of confi dence with which it is desired to be ceretain of detecting a change of size ( X2 - X1 ) if one actually occurred ( statistical power ).

For this particular study, considering the available resources and time limits, the following values are defi ned as acceptable levels of statistical testing for the result of the study.

D = 1.5X1 = 1.93 WHZ for OVC and 17 BMI for PLHAX2 = 1.4 WHZ for OVC and 22 for PLHA

Note: X1 value is estimated referring to the Cambodia Demographic Health Survey, 2000 (CDHS-2000) as national level of mean weight-for-height Z score being 1.2, and estimating much worse situation; WFP targeted areas is already worse off as defi ned by VAM as highly vulnerable and also current OVC status of 20% infection.

To estimate X2 value, there is not enough data and experience internationally to be referred to the same situation of OVC and same type of Intervention. The estimation was made considering the most probable scenario in Intervention of similarly severe situation.

For estimating X1 and X2 for PLHA similar considerations are applied.

Ninety-fi ve percent level of confi dence and 80% statistical power, as generally recommended, was regarded as an acceptable level for this study.

The estimated required sample sizes come out as 220 for PLHA in each area and 144 for OVC in each area including a 10% non-response rate.

Annex 3Sampling

Sampling procedures consist of two parts; One comparison group selection and two representative sampling of both groups.

For comparison of Intervention and Control groups the sampling procedures follows the following guidelines (12):

“Comparison groups are normally expected to consist of populations of one or more nearby districts, municipalities, or other administrative units that have characteristics similar to those of the program being evaluated. The selection process normally consists of two stages. The fi rst involves identifying groups that meet the criteria of similarity. The choice could be made purposively ( i.e., characteristics of the group could be predefi ned and selection could be made according to the agreed- upon criteria) unless several areas have profi les similar to the program area, in which case one could be chosen randomly. Once the survey universe for the comparison area has been defi ned, it remains to select a sample of clusters and households to represent the comparison area. The sampling procedures are identical to those for general population surveys”.

Comparison groups are identifi ed as Intervention and Control areas. Intervention areas are those which have been under integrated food support and HBC for three years and Control areas are those which are planning to start food support in October and have been under implementation of HBC as the same package as in Intervention areas without food support. Socioeconomic characteristic are tested (see chapter 4 socio-economic situation) and confi rmed as comparable by VAM analysis of WFP which use the poverty and nutrition indicators.

For Intervention areas representative sampling is decided to conduct cluster sampling with 20 clusters as HBC teams (Health Centers) and follow PPS procedure in multiple stage due too the operation and geographic indications.

For Control areas, since the number of identifi ed clusters are smaller than 20 (total 9), it is decide to select all 9 clusters and to conduct random sampling of intra-cluster households if the number of households are larger than defi ned constant number of households per cluster.

Ideally, to avoid heterogeneity among clusters (i.e. Health Centre); the benefi ciary population can be divided into “Strata” (number of categories) in which the VARIATION in the benefi ciary characteristics is small relative o that in the whole population of benefi ciaries among clusters.

In this case, benefi ciary characteristics can be defi ned, as socio demographic characteristics of the community they belong to, which will infl uence the effect of the programme. KHANA food assistance-HBC programme is operating in the three broad areas administered by WFP’s operational sub-offi ces formed based on geographic and administrative characteristics.

First Stage: Thus, the survey area can be stratifi ed into three broad strata, according to WFP sub offi ce areas, namely, Kampong Cham, Kampong Speu and Siem Reap, in each of which variation in the beneficiary characteristics is supposed to be small.

61

The selection of provinces within each stratum will also based on the fact that probability of the province for participating in the study will be proportionate to the benefi ciary size of the province, PPS, i.e. larger provinces are given a greater chance of selection than smaller provinces, in terms of benefi ciaries.

Kampong Cham sub-offi ce area stratum : Kampong Cham province

Kampong Speu sub-offi ce area stratum : Takeo province

Siem Reap sub-offi ce area stratum : (1) Battambang (2) Siem Reap

3rd Stage: Since sample size for acceptable statistical strength is, for each of the Intervention and Control areas; PLHA 220 and OVC 144; cluster numbers are decided to be 20 (due to limited resource) so that number of elements (target sampled benefi ciaries) per cluster is defi ned as households of 11 PLHA and 8 OVC; this makes sure that target members are suffi ciently well spread across enough clusters that survey estimates are not unduly infl uenced by a handful of clusters.

Each health centre based by home-based care team in the selected provinces are regarded as clusters. All the clusters in selected provinces are listed with respective number of benefi ciaries and selection of 20 clusters is processed by PPS technique based on the population size of total benefi ciaries in each cluster (PLHA plus OVC).
