FANTA Ethiopia trip report DRAFT 7 25 08.pdf

Annex 3 Estimate of Food Quantities for Ethiopia Food-by-Prescription Program

Food Protocol and Duration Estimates:

ART/pre-ART adults with SAM: 276 g. RUTF + 400 g. FBF for 2 months 92 g. RUTF + 200 g. FBF for 3 months Total: 24.84 kg. RUTF + 42 kg. FBF per SAM adult

ART/pre-ART adults with MAM: 92 g. RUTF + 200 g. FBF for 3 months Total: 8.28 kg. RUTF + 18 kg. FBF per MAM adult

PMTCT clients with SAM: 276 g. RUTF + 400 g. FBF for 2 months 92 g. RUTF + 200 g. FBF for 6 months Total: 33.12 kg. RUTF + 60 kg. FBF per SAM PMTCT

PMTCT clients with MAM: 92 g. RUTF + 200 g. FBF for 5 months Total: 13.8 kg. RUTF + 30 kg. FBF per MAM PMTCT

OVC with SAM: 184 g. RUTF for 2 months (quantities depend on weight; 92 g. RUTF + 100 g. FBF for 3 months averages are given here) Total: 19.32 kg. RUTF + 9 kg. FBF per SAM OVC

OVC with MAM: 92 g. RUTF + 100 g. FBF for 3 months Total: 8.28 kg. RUTF + 9 kg. FBF per MAM OVC

Total Food Needs:

Assuming 25% of beneficiaries are severely malnourished and 75% are moderately/mildly malnourished and assuming 20% of clients are PMTCT and 80% are adult ART/pre-ART, to fully treat 5,000 beneficiaries requires the following food quantities:

SAM Adults: 5,000 X 0.8 X 0.25 = 1,000 SAM Adults X 24.84 kg RUTF/client = 24.84 MT RUTF 1,000 SAM Adults X 42 kg FBF/client = 42 MT FBF MAM Adults: 5,000 X 0.8 X 0.75 = 3,000 MAM Adults X 8.28 kg RUTF/client = 24.84 MT RUTF 3,000 MAM Adults X 18 kg FBF/client = 54 MT FBF PMTCT: 5,000 X 0.2 X 0.25 = 250 SAM PMTCT X 33.12 kg RUTF/client = 8.28 MT RUTF 250 SAM PMTCT X 60 kg FBF/client = 15 MT FBF MAM PMTCT: 5,000 X 0.2 X 0.75 = 750 MAM PMTCT X 13.8 kg RUTF/client = 10.35 MT RUTF 750 MAM PMTCT X 30 kg FBF/client = 22.5 MT FBF

TOTAL: 68.31 MT RUTF + 133.5 MT FBF

Note that this is the food needed to completely treat 5,000 adult and PMTCT clients. If a total of 5,000 clients are reached in year 1, the total food used would likely be less than above as some clients would still be in the middle of their treatment at the end of year 1. The remaining food would be used during the initial months of year 2 to complete their treatment. If needed, the quantity used during year 1 can be estimated based on assumptions of client flow patterns.

To fully treat 36,000 adult clients, 491.83 MT of RUTF and 961.2 MT of FBF would be needed.

1 MT of RUTF = 10,870 sachets. So 68.31 MT = 742,500 sachets
