World: Managing acute malnutrition at scale - A review of donor and government financing arrangements (Network Paper Issue 75)
Berita ReliefWeb - Mon, 20/05/2013 - 11:18pm

Introduction
This review is concerned with the financing arrangements for programmes that address acute malnutrition at scale through the community-based management of acute malnutrition (CMAM). The CMAM approach is geared towards the early detection, treatment and counselling of moderately and severely acutely malnourished children, in the community, by community agents.
Until the late 1990s, treatment of severe acute malnutrition (SAM) was through therapeutic feeding centres in hospitals and healthcare centres. Performance was poor, coverage was extremely limited (less than 5% of the SAM population), mortality was often in excess of 30% and recovery rates were low. The CMAM approach was first piloted in Ethiopia in 1999 as an alternative to the centre-based model.
Development of the approach offered the prospect of dramatically increased access to successful treatment and coverage.
CMAM has been adopted in over 65 countries. In 2011, just under two million children under five years of age with SAM were reported as being admitted to CMAM programmes, compared with just over one million in 2009.1 While this large increase partly reflects improved reporting, it is also indicative of the ongoing scaling up of treatment of SAM. Even so, total reported admissions represent just 10–15% of the estimated 20m global SAM cases annually.

(Extract)
Wheat and rice prices mostly fall around the region
Strong production generally kept domestic prices around the region stable or drove them slightly down for wheat, wheat flour and rice, except in India and Myanmar where government procurement programmes pushed prices higher. Overall, however, prices were mostly higher than at the same time last year, according to FAO’s Global Information and Early Warning System (GIEWS).
In Afghanistan, prices for wheat and wheat flour were largely unchanged except in Kabul where wheat flour fell by 8 percent. Wheat flour prices also fell by 4 percent in Bangladesh, but rice prices were steady ahead of the next harvest. In Cambodia, an expected record output from the coming second rice harvest put downward pressure on rice prices. China’s rising imports of wheat and Japonica rice kept those prices stable, but meat prices fell by 6 percent. Rice prices in India rose an average of 2 percent mainly because of government support programmes, but wheat prices decline marginally by 1 percent.
The arrival of the second rice harvest weakened rice prices in Indonesia, but as in most countries around the region prices were higher than one year ago. Rice prices rose to record levels in Myanmar partly because of increased exports to Indonesia and government procurement programmes. After months of increases, wheat prices began falling in Pakistan during April on forecasts of a strong harvest. Wheat flour fell by as much as 9 percent, while wheat declined by an average of 4 percent. Prices for rice in the Philippines were stable, and have been stable for about one year. Rice prices fell by about 2 percent in Sri Lanka and would have fallen further had it not been for government procurement programmes. Thailand’s procurement programme kept rice prices steady. Prices for rice were also generally stable in Viet Nam.

World: Disability Inclusive Disaster Risk Management: Voices from the field & good practices
Berita ReliefWeb - Sun, 19/05/2013 - 6:39am
Source: CBM
Country: Bangladesh, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Pakistan, Thailand, Viet Nam, World
CBM and partners launch key publication on Disability Inclusive Disaster Risk Management
As disasters have such a huge impact on human lives, it is important to make Disaster Risk Management inclusive to all. CBM and its partners have launched a key publication on good practices in this important field. It gives great examples of disability inclusive Disaster Risk Management, showing persons with disabilities as active participants in Disaster Risk Response interventions.
What Inclusive Disaster Risk Reduction means?
Disasters have a huge impact on human infrastructure, lives and livelihoods. They can result from natural causes (earthquakes, floods, cyclones, etc.) or from human-influenced factors (like climate change and conflicts), which can lead to food insecurity and displacement of large populations.
While it remains crucial to understand and reduce the human effect in creating disasters, natural causes will continue. The key in diminishing their impact is to reduce people’s vulnerability. Through inclusive Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) programmes, incorporated in human development plans and poverty reduction programmes, risks can be reduced and communities’ resilience to disasters can be strengthened.
Persons with disabilities are often overlooked throughout the disaster management cycle and especially during relief operations, and are seldom considered as important actors in conflict prevention even though they are often more exposed during conflicts and displacement. The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), in its articles 11 and 32, requires that persons with disabilities benefit from and participate in disaster relief, emergency response and disaster risk reduction strategies.
About this publication
This publication would like to contribute with advocating for a more inclusive DRR where persons with disabilities are active participants and not overlooked in relief and response actions. The practices and experiences presented here are challenging the stereotype of persons with disabilities as helpless victims, and instead showing them as effective agents in changing this exclusionary system. Their voices are introduced here to demonstrate that with the right attitude, knowledge and by making sure to provide equal opportunities for all, inclusion is possible.
Through these testimonies and individual stories, the capacity of persons with disabilities and their families in making disaster risk reduction plans and programs inclusive are shown. If supported by well-informed and disability-aware humanitarian organisations, governmental authorities and international organisations, there is possibility to make sure that persons with disabilities, 15% of the world’s population, have equal opportunity to improve their resilience towards disasters.
The good practices
Eleven good practices of Disability inclusive Disaster Risk Reduction experiences have been gathered that show concrete practical examples of how persons with disabilities are active participants in various DRR interventions. Organisations developing sustainable resilience mechanisms to disasters and climate change effects have become aware of the added value that trained and knowledge persons with disabilities bring.

Strong biosecurity measures needed to contain bird flu Implementing strong biosecurity measures coupled with good hygiene are required to contain the spread of the H7N9 strain of avian influenza virus, Hiroyuki Konuma, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization’s Regional Representative for Asia and the Pacific told a press conference in Bangkok on April 11. The virus had infected 82 people and killed 17 in China by April 19.
The latest strain of the virus presents a more difficult challenge for farmers and public health officials because infected birds show almost no symptoms of the virus. “It is likely that farmers do not realize that the new virus is circulating in their flock, because their chickens are not dying off in large numbers like they were when they contracted the H5N1 virus,” Konuma said. “Good biosecurity and hygiene represent the first line of defense for the food chain.” Among measures that can prevent the spread of the disease are housing poultry in secure pens that ensure they cannot mix with wild birds that may be carrying the virus.
The FAO Regional Representative commended China’s response to the outbreak. He praised Chinese authorities’ quick notification of human cases and subsequent release of detailed information to the public on the nature of the virus and what precautionary measures to take. FAO and the international scientific community have used this information to analyze the virus sequence trying to better understand its behavior and its potential impact on humans and animals.
Konuma said that FAO is monitoring the situation closely through its network of country and regional offices and key partners, including the World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE).

Australia: Australia extends reach of tough refugee policy
Berita ReliefWeb - Thu, 16/05/2013 - 6:39pm
Source: Agence France-Presse Country: Australia, Indonesia, Sri Lanka
05/16/2013 09:39 GMT
SYDNEY, May 16, 2013 (AFP) - Australia on Thursday extended tough refugee policies to any asylum-seeker who lands on its mainland, allowing them to be banished to remote Nauru or Papua New Guinea for detention.
Until now, the government only had powers to send boatpeople for indefinite detention in the Pacific when they reached its remote offshore territories such as Christmas Island.
The change, which was passed in parliament Thursday, strips away any advantage asylum-seekers get from reaching the mainland.
"It will ensure asylum-seekers who unlawfully arrive anywhere in Australia by boat without a visa will be subject to the same regional processing arrangements as asylum-seekers who arrive at an excised offshore place," said Immigration Minister Brendan O'Connor.
Most boats land at or are intercepted near the remote Australian territories of Christmas Island, close to Indonesia's Java, or the Cocos Islands in the Indian Ocean.
Both are considered to be "excised" from Australia for immigration purposes, meaning they are subject to special laws allowing for refugees who land there to be processed in regional centres in the Pacific.
To avoid detention boatpeople have increasingly been aiming for the mainland. One packed with 66 asylum-seekers managed to evade detection and reach Geraldton in Western Australia in April.
On Tuesday a boat carrying 42 people was intercepted near Darwin.
Australia's Human Rights Commission condemned the legislation's passage, saying it undermined the nation's obligations under the refugee convention.
"By targeting unauthorised maritime arrivals, the legislation discriminates against vulnerable people and penalises them because of the way they arrive in Australia," said Commission President Gillian Triggs.
Triggs said the move deepened concerns about the plight of those held in remote Pacific camps, where conditions have been described as harsh by the United Nations, and detention "arbitrary".
Australia is struggling with a steady influx of boats from Indonesia and Sri Lanka, with arrivals topping a record 16,000 last year.
The government announced a crackdown on Australia's refugee determination process this week, targeting fewer visas in a bid to up the deterrent stakes.
Though refugees come in relatively small numbers by global standards, the issue is a political flashpoint in Australia and is likely to be a key issue in national elections in September.
Several of the often rickety, overcrowded fishing vessels have sunk in recent years, killing hundreds of people and underscoring the perils of the journey.
