It aims to create capacity within national institutions to operate and maintain a food and nutrition platform using existing data and information and strengthening capacity to track outcomes of national objectives to prevent malnutrition The goal of the project is to contribute towards national development agenda of improving nutrition for the Kenyan population as enshrined in Articles 43(c) and 53 (c) of the Constitution. NIPFN aims to achieve its objectives by analysing existing food security and nutrition data to improve understanding of factors that infl uence nutrition outcomes at national and county levels and further, use analysed information to fi ll program and policy gaps. The NIPFN approach entails the following key processes: 1. Question formulation based on government priorities; 2. Collation of data and information to answer policy questions 3. Analysis of data to inform the questions; 4. Communication of the fi ndings to government to inform future policies and investments Figure 1: The NIPFN Approach Source-EU, Kenya Cooperation, National Information Platform for Food and Nutrition Project: Introduction to the NIPN Approach National Information Platform for Food and Nutrition 6 The NIPFN project in Kenya is being implemented by Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) and Kenya Instituted of Public Policy Research and Analysis (KIPPRA) in collaboration with government ministries, Departments and Agencies that deal with food security and nutrition. The NIPFN mandate is executed through the guidance of committees drawing membership from key institutions as shown in Figure 2 below Figure 2: Organizational Structure of the NIPFN The coordination of NIPFN is done through the following committees; The National Steering Committee (NSC), the Policy Advisory Committee (PAC) and the Project Management Committee (PMC). These committees have been fully constituted. The NSC is the strategic and highest decision making committee, the PAC handles the policy questions formulation while the PMC oversees the overall project implementation and decides on use of resources available. The NIPFN Project Secretariat has three units namely: Project Management Unit, Data Analysis Unit and Policy analysis unit. The Project Management Unit is responsible for contractual, administrative and financial tasks of the project. The data analysis unit handles the data component of the project while the Policy Analysis unit handles the Policy component of the project. The NIPFN Secretariat initiated the data landscape exercise through desk review and interactions with stakeholders. The objectives of the exercise were: i. To provide an overview of the information systems that support food and nutrition security data including the sectors that host the systems. ii. To develop an overview of the availability, accessibility and quality of food and nutrition security indicators at national level from nutrition sensitive and specific sectors. iii. To provide a general overview of the type of data collected and frequency of collection as well as the institutions involved in data collection, analysis and utilization of food and nutrition security information. In order to achieve the stated objectives, the project team used the desk review on the earlier 7 DATA LANDSCAPE REPORT - AUGUST 2022 generated reports on Food Security and nutritional data systems in Kenya, as well as other sources. The team also organized a stakeholder engagement meeting where sectors presented on how they handle data. The exercise focused on institutions that collects or maintains data of interest to NIPFN. The exercise provided useful information on institutions mandate, Data systems used, data sets available, frequency of data collection indicators, level of disaggregation, and availability of the data sets. This landscape report gives a summary of data mapping exercise done so far and recognizes the continuous nature of the exercise. In this report, the major data sources and systems have been identified and elaborate description of the sources given. National Information Platform for Food and Nutrition 8 2 GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE NATIONAL STATISTICAL SYSTEM The National Statistical System (NSS) is composed of all institutions and units within a country that handle official statistics on behalf of the Government(OECD, 2002). The Statistics Act, 2006 established Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) mandating it to be the principal Government agency for collecting, analysing, disseminating and custody of statistical data and information in Kenya (‘KNBS Mandate’, 2020). The Act provides the Bureau with an extensive opportunity to develop statistics, coordinate, oversee and set standards for official statistics at both national and county levels. The Bureau therefore is the principal agency of the government responsible for collecting, compiling, analysing, and disseminating statistical information needed for planning and policy formulation and is responsible for co-ordination of the National Statistical System (NSS) in the country. According to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the National Statistical System is the ensemble of statistical organizations and units within a country, that jointly collect, process and disseminate official statistics on behalf of national government. The Bureau refers to these statistical organizations and units as statistical sectors and defines them as a data production unit, user unit or both producer and user unit that generates and or demands specific statistics which requires a unique strategy for development and management. These sectors in Kenya are either a Government Ministry, Department or Agency (MDA) or a county government. The NSS includes producers, suppliers and users of official statistics working under the supervision and co-ordination of the Bureau. The scope of co-ordination includes technical advice to ensure that standards and methods are met and adherence to the code of practice in statistical production and dissemination. The KNBS through the NSS is expected to address data gaps, improve the quality of statistical information, Mainstream statistics in Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) and, County Governments, Communicate, access and disseminate statistics to users, strengthen human and physical capital in order to improve statistics. The statistics produced within the NSS are expected to be user-focused and demand-driven. Data users are the customers in data production systems and hence an important component of the NSS. Data producers include KNBS, Government Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), and the counties. 9 DATA LANDSCAPE REPORT - AUGUST 2022 3 LEGAL AND REGULATORY FRAMEWORK Food security and Nutrition in Kenya is guided by the following policies, legal and regulatory frameworks • The Constitution of Kenya, 2010 • Health Act 2017 • The Nutritionist and Dieticians Act, 18, 2017 • The Statistics (Amendment) Act, 2019 • The Statistics Act, 2006 • The Data Protection Act, 2019 • Breast Milk Substitute (Regulation and Control) Act 2012 • National Food and Nutrition Security Policy, 2012 • National Food and Nutrition Security Policy Implementation Framework 2017 to 2022 • Kenya Health Policy 2012-2030 • The National Agricultural Sector Extension Policy (NASEP) 2012 • National Land Policy • National Irrigation Policy 2015 • National Environmental Policy, 2013 • National Livestock Policy, 2008 • National Oceans & Fisheries Policy, 2008 • Kenya ASAL policy, 2012 • Kenya Policy Framework for Education, 2012 • Kenya Nutrition Action plan(KNAP) (2018 - 2022) • Kenya Health Sector Strategic Plan (KHSSP 2014-2018) • Kenya National Strategy for Prevention & Control of NCDs (2015-2020) • Republic of Kenya National School Health Strategy Implementation Plan (2011-2015) • Kenya Rural Development Strategy (2012-2017) • Economic Recovery Strategy for Wealth and Employment Creation (2003-2007) • Kenya Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper, 2013 • Strategy for Revitalizing Agriculture (2004-2014) • Medium Term Plan III • Big Four Agenda National Information Platform for Food and Nutrition 10 4 MAPPING OF DATA PROVIDERS 4.1 Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) The Kenya National Bureau of Statistics is a Semi-Autonomous Government Agency under The National Treasury and Planning.

It is the second National Nutrition Action Plan for the implementation of the Kenya Food and Nutrition Security Policy (FNSP) and follows implementation of the first National Nutrition Action Plan 2012–2017, building on the success, limitations and opportunities of the previous five years. The Kenya Vision 2030, implemented in five-year midterm plans and the Big Four Agenda, together with the overall global health and nutrition agenda and within the framework of the constitution and legal framework, form the over-arching guidance for the development of KNAP. The plan applies a life-course approach and promotes cross-sectoral collaboration to address the social determinants of malnutrition sustainably. The overall expected result of the KNAP is Kenyans achieving optimal nutrition for a healthier and better-quality life and improved productivity for the country’s accelerated social and economic growth. The KNAP development process was driven by government through the Nutrition and Dietetics Unit, Ministry of Health. The process involved wide consultation with all key stakeholders including: line ministries, county governments, development partners and donor agencies, civil society organizations, research and academic institutions and the private sector. The process was evidence- informed and recognized successes, challenges and lessons learnt from the implementation of the 2012–2017 NNAP. The KNAP is organized into three categories of result areas with corresponding interventions. These include nutrition-specific, nutrition-sensitive and enabling environment as listed below: Nutrition specific Key Result Areas (KRAs) • KRA 1: Maternal Infant and Young Child Nutrition (MIYCN) scaled-up • KRA 2: Nutrition of older children and adolescents promoted • KRA 3: Nutrition of adults and older persons promoted • KRA 4: Prevention, control and management of micronutrient deficiencies scaled-up • KRA 5: Prevention, control and management of Diet Related Non-Communicable Diseases (DRNCDs) scaled-up • KRA 6: Integrated Management of Acute Malnutrition (IMAM) strengthened • KRA 7: Nutrition in emergencies strengthened • KRA 8: Nutrition in Tuberculosis (TB) and HIV strengthened • KRA 9: Clinical Nutrition and Dietetics in Disease Management Strengthened 29 DATA LANDSCAPE REPORT - AUGUST 2022 Multi-sectoral nutrition sensitive KRAs • KRA 10: Nutrition in agriculture and food security scaled-up • KRA 11: Nutrition in the health sector strengthened • KRA 12: Nutrition in Education and Early Childhood Development (EECD) promoted • KRA 13: Nutrition in Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) promoted • KRA 14: Nutrition in social protection promoted Enabling environment (Cross-cutting) KRAs • KRA 15: Sectoral and multi-sectoral nutrition governance including coordination and legal/ regulatory frameworks strengthened • KRA 16: Sectoral and multi-sectoral nutrition information systems, learning and research strengthened • KRA 17: Advocacy, Communication and Social Mobilization (ACSM) strengthened • KRA 18: Capacity for nutrition developed • KRA 19: Supply chain management for nutrition commodities and equipment strengthened The KNAP has an elaborate Monitoring and Evaluation Framework approached in 2 levels: a summarised Common Results and Accountability Framework (CRAF)which has a total of 30 indicators and a detailed M&E matrix covering the 19 Key Result Areas with 92 expected results and 136 indicators. The indicators in the KNAP are both demographic related as well as institution- related i.e. indicators to track the performance and/or the delivery of nutrition specific and sensitive systems. With regard to the Common Results Framework, 27 out of the 30 indicators are demographic- related indicators; 3 are institution-related; while 32 indicators in the detailed M&E Framework are demographic-related while 104 are institution-related indicators. Over 52 sources of information are listed as a means of verification, majority of which are institutional in nature as opposed to open-sourced reports. The KNAP also details the common results areas of accountability framework as summarized in the Table below. The NIPFN will facilitate the monitoring of the KNAP through provision of relevant data and information. National Information Platform for Food and Nutrition 30 9 RECOMMENDATIONS This initial data mapping exercise is expected to contribute to a stronger and more functional platform. This system can be strengthened further by the following recommendation; • At all levels, there should be an effort to ensure the financial information on nutrition related activities are collected, analyzed and archived. This information can help in expanding the investments in human capital as well as the investments data collection, analysis and dissemination. • The NSS should be encouraged to review and integrate the nutrition and food security components in their data collection tools. • There is need to continue building and maintaining the relationship between the data producers/ providers of nutrition and food security related data. • To have a more functional system, the platform, central data repository should be designed and developed so that there is a one stop shop for data and information for nutrition and food security. The design should take into account the availability of data, the data structure, and the sources of data. • Given the dynamism of the data generation within the NSS and other data producers, the data already collected should be continually reviewed and updated to include other sources that were initially not included. • The acquired data from the various sources should be harmonized in terms of the sampling methodologies and the geographical representation so that the indicator generation can be comparable. • The data mapping exercise, revealed a number of data gaps related to nutrition and food security. There is need to involve the key stakeholders in designing the strategy of filling these data gaps. • Continuous update of stakeholders, systems and indicators of interest to NIPFN 31 DATA LANDSCAPE REPORT - AUGUST 2022
