The following report proposes a supplemental credit to the Republic o f Madagascar for SDR 7.3 million (US$10 million) to cover the additional costs that were incurred to address the emergency situations that arose from the cyclones that struck Madagascar in 2000 and the political turbulence in 2002. The proposed supplemental credit would be on standard IDA terms with a maturity of 40 years and commitment fee o f 0.5%. The credit would provide supplemental financing for the Second Community NutritionProject (Cr. No. 3060-MAG). 2. A serious deterioration resulted from these crises which led to an increase of the risk o f malnutrition inthe areas where the cyclones struck and in the cities during the political crisis. Food crops were destroyed, food prices increased, and access to food diminished. The availability o f potable water was seriously constrained and the sanitary situation deteriorated leading to an increase ininfectious disease, while access to health care was compromised. Reduced food availability and infectious disease are the direct causes o f acute malnutrition. Repeated episodes of acute malnutrition, especially inyoung children, lead to chronic malnutrition. 3. The development objective of the Second Community Nutrition project is to reduce chronic malnutrition among children under three and to improve the nutritional status o f school-aged children, pregnant and lactating women. As a result of the crises, the achievement o f the development objective became at risk because of two factors. First, a set-back in the earlier achievements because o f a worsening o f the causes o f malnutrition inthe project areas. Second, geographic areas that before the crises were not among the target areas of the project because the malnutrition rates were lower than national average - the cut-off for the interventions-, now became target areas. The Government of Madagascar requested the project to assist in the response to the crises with an expansion of its activities to the previously not targeted areas as well as an intensification o f the project interventions and acceleration of activities in the already target zones. 4. As a result, the project increased its geographic scope and added the rural areas o f an additional 16 districts to its already targeted 52 districts after the cyclones and the urban areas or the capital cities o f the six provinces as target areas after the political crisis. Inorder to achieve its development objective and the targets, the project requires additional financing for the costs incurred to address the emergency situations as describedabove.  Background 5. Countw context. After having been one o f the most rapidly growing African economies in recent years, Madagascar plunged into deep political crisis at the beginningof 2002. The crisis ended 6 months later, but social and economic impact i s extremely pronounced, with poverty levels rising to where they were a decade ago. The new Government presented a recovery program to the donor community in July 2002 and IDA supported this through a US$50 million emergency credit and a substantial portfolio restructuring. After emerging from this deep political and economic crisis the new Government i s embarking on an ambitious reform program, as described in the new CAS that is currently under preparation. 6. Sectoral backmound. Malnutrition was already a serious development problem inMadagascar before the crises. Almost 50 percent of children under five years of age were chronically malnourished or stunted. Analysis of malnutrition data among the different income groups confirms that malnutrition i s largely a poor peoples problem. Poverty, as well as lack of knowledge, poor feeding, health and caring practices, inadequate food production and consumption, are the main determinants o f chronic malnutrition. Recurrent infectious diseases, especially diarrhea, measles, malaria, and helminth infections cause bouts o f acute malnutrition and contribute to chronic growth retardation. Malnutrition prevalence trends in Madagascar are decreasing, but very slowly. It i s likely that after the crises, gains achieved have been lost, due to the deterioration in the causes o f malnutrition as explained above. Continued and more intensive efforts are needed to achieve the project development objective, which contributes to the achievement o f the Millennium Development Goal for nutrition - halving underweight by 2015. The Government o f Madagascar (GOM) implements Community Nutrition programs with the assistance from the World Bank and other donors in order to reduce malnutritionrates and prevent growth faltering among young children.At present, a highlevel intersectoralcommittee is inthe process of developing a new Nutrition Policy for Madagascar as well as an update o f the National Plan o f Action for Nutrition. 7. Social Deterioration. In2000, Madagascar was struck by three cyclones, Eline, Gloria and Hudah, inquick succession over a three monthperiodbetween February and April. More than 1 million people were directly affected, resulting in over 200 people dead and almost 300,000 people in need of emergency aid assistance. More than 80 percent of the poor in Madagascar live in rural areas and rely largely on subsistence agriculture and already had limited access to food reserves. The cyclone damage severely impacted the population's food security, health and sanitary conditions, all determinants o f acute malnutrition leading to chronic malnutrition. There was substantial damage to food crops and food reserves were damaged and/or insufficient. Rice stocks, the main staple food for the Malagasy, were flooded and rotten. In 2001, the Southern part o f the country suffered severe droughts that led to further deterioration o f the food situation in that region. In 2002, the political turbulence after the December 2001 election resulted in the worsening o f already precarious conditions, especially inthe urbanareas. 8. Impact on malnutrition: Food insecurity is one o f the main determinants of malnutrition. The cyclone damage and droughts in the Southem part o f the country  worsened the food security situation in terms of availability, due to lost crops. Local authorities estimated that 95% o f the paddy rice, the main food crop o f Malagasy people, all o f the vegetable crops and 75% o f the manioc crops were destroyed or severely damaged in the affected areas. The political crises resulted in increased food prices, worsening the food security situation interms o f accessibility, which affected in particular the poor in the urban areas. As a result the risk of malnutrition, especially among those most vulnerable, young children, pregnant and lactating women, increased inthe affectedareas. 9. Government and Bank responses. The govemment requested that the existing Project be used to quickly prevent the situation from worsening. About one third o f the affected areas were already targeted by the existing project. In these the preventive interventions were intensified with messages about coping with shocks and food insecurity risks. In addition, there was geographic expansion to cover a larger number of beneficiaries and to add the affected areas that were not previously covered by the project. The main objective o f the intensification and expansion was to prevent worsening malnutrition rates that would jeopardize the development objective o f the project. 10. During the political crisis, emergency safety plans were put in place, using projects with demonstrated capacity to quickly act. An Interim-CAS (October 2002) assisted the Government to mitigate the impact o f the crisis on the poor by restructuring the existing portfolio and provided new lending in the form o f an emergency credit. This Project was one o f the projects used for the emergency response. The project increased its geographic scope and added the rural areas of an additional 16 districts to its already targeted 52 districts after the cyclones and the urban areas or the capital cities o f the six provinces as target areas after the political crisis. An additional 550 nutrition sites were added to the existing program, with about 100,000 children under three for monthly growth monitoring and promotion, after the cyclone's devastating impact. During the political crises, the urban areas o f all six provinces were added to the program target areas. A total o f 104 urban nutrition centers were established, representing about 50,000 children under three. 11. New CAS. The new CAS will be presented to the Board in October/November 2003. The focus o f the new CAS i s to support the Government not only inrecovering the ground lost duringthe political crisis but also help inachieving broad-based growth rates well above those experienced before the crisis. The CAS foresees a new Nutrition operation inFY05. This will be either under the PRSCI or as a self standing operation. ExistingProject 12. The Second Community Nutrition Project was approved on April 21, 1998 and became effective on November 2, 1998. The total project cost i s US$42 million o f which US$ 27.6 equivalent i s providedby IDA, US$ 11.6 million i s co-financed by the World FoodProgram and the Government and beneficiaries contribute US$ 2.7 million. The development objective of the project i s to improve the nutritional status o f children under the age of three, pregnant and lactating women and school - aged children. Specific indicators include the reduction of current underweight rates by 25%, thus contributing to the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) nutrition goal to halve  underweight prevalence by 2015. The project also aims to ensure long-term sustainability o f nutrition outcomes by improving the quality and quantity o f food intake by children at home. Progress to achieving these objectives was measured at mid-term review and will be measured again at project completion through anthropometrics and dietary surveys and through data accruedbythe project. 13. Implementation experience The growth monitoring and promotion (GMP) program currently reaches about 1million children under the age o f three and 700,000 pregnant and lactating women every month. The child's growth i s monitored, progress explained to the caretaker and action taken on the basis o f the progress or lack thereof with specific counseling. Inthe case o f growth faltering, children receive supplementary including to over 2 million school - aged children under the school nutrition program. feeding. Micronutrients and deworming are systematically provided to all beneficiaries, The Mid-Term review, which took place in September 2001, rated the project, and all its components, satisfactory. Impact studies undertaken for the Mid-Term review show positive impact, inparticular inthose areas where the program i s implemented for more than two years. Rationale for Supplemental Credit 14. The proposed supplemental credit meets the requirement o f OP 13.20 on Supplemental Financing as follows: (a) Cost overrun due to exceptional circumstances beyond borrower's control. The supplemental credit would finance the cost overruns that were incurred as a result o f the exceptional circumstances that occurred beyond the Borrowers' control during the implementation of the Project. There are no changes in project design, the community nutrition and school nutrition components, as well as the intersectoral activities and monitoring and evaluation would continue with the same development objective and use of the same implementation manual. The beneficiaries remain the same. The project increased its geographic scope and intensified its interventions that fall within the objective o f the project which are to improve the nutritional status o f children under three, primary school children, and pregnant and lactating women, and ensure long-term sustainability o f nutrition outcomes by improving the quality and quantity o f food intake by children at home; and, in so doing, improve quality o f life and productivity, decrease child morbidity and mortality rates, and support primary education. (b) The existing credit i s being implemented in compliance with all covenants. The overall project performance has been satisfactory duringimplementation, including during the crisis. Project and financial management, compliance with agreed procurement schedules, and compliance with safeguards policies have been satisfactory throughout implementation. Monitoring and evaluation has been rated highly satisfactory inrecent project status reports. (c) I t is not possible to reduce the scope of the project at this point. The credit i s 90 percent disbursed and the remaining funds are fully committed. A reduction in scope would jeopardize the achievement o f the development objectives of the Project. A new project i s being prepared but will not be ready for Board presentation until FY05 and 6  preparation cannot be accelerated since it i s likely that nutrition will be included under the PRSCIthat i s scheduled for Boardpresentation inFY05. (d) The Government of Madagascar sought other means of financing but was unsuccessful. (e) The time available it too short to process a further free standing Bank loan.Ifno supplemental financing is providedto the GOMto continue the project, the current achievements will be severely compromised. About 1 million children are monitored on a monthly basis and their care takers counseled on proper growth in order to prevent malnutrition, which negatively impacts human development and economic growth in the long run. The project would risk loosing an important group of beneficiaries, which will then reduce the possibility o f achieving the development goal, reducing malnutrition by 25% by the end o f the project. The DO may already be compromised as a result o f the crises themselves. (0 The GOM is committed to continue the reduction of malnutrition and make progress towards the achievement of the nutritiongoal of the Millennium Development Goals. Reducing malnutrition is among the priority actions in the PRSC and the new CAS. The GOM has demonstrated its commitment in public speeches, timely counterpart funding and efforts made - albeit without success - to finance the gap induced by the extra costs. The GOM also has given nutrition high level attention by placing the executing agency directly under the Prime Ministry and not under a line-ministrywhere it i s likely to be less visible. Discussions about placing it firmly on the government's organizational chart are ongoing and a working group is updating the National Nutrition Policy and Plan o f Action in order to determine the needs for intensified efforts to achieve the MDGs. The future nutrition operation i s part o f these intensified efforts. The GOM also shows commitment by allocating finances to the project. It allocated 10 percent o f its 2001 HIPC funds to the project and it proposed to finance U S $ lmillion o f the required US$ 11 million additional project costs. (g) Not only the government i s committed to improving nutrition in Madagascar, NGOs and civil society have long been involved in the project implementation. The first project included geographic areas that were no longer part o f the second project, but there is evidence the interventions are continued by the communities and NGOs themselves. Since nutrition i s a multisectoral theme, the education, health and agriculture sectors are involved in policy making and nutrition interventions are deliverednot only at the community level by the project itself, but also through health centers and schools. Implementationof Proposed Supplemental Credit 15. Project costs: Total additional financing needs are estimated at US$ 11million. The project incurred US$4.5 millioninadditional costs with respect to the cyclone and drought afflicted areas in FYOO/Ol. Of these, US$ 3.8 million i s investment, training, and the recurrent costs o f the 550 new nutrition centers. US$ 0.5 million was used to finance institutional strengthening and about two hundred thousand ($200,000) to rehabilitate existing (damaged) nutrition centers. The extra costs are cumulative  reaching US$ 11 million by the end o f the project. The estimated costs to maintain the activities inthe areas that were added inresponse to the crises are US$4 million. Since it is the Government's objective to scale up to national level of nutrition interventions in the next operation, it would not have been advisable to start interventions and implement for a short duration. Instead the project management decided to continue. Nutrition i s a development problem than cannot be solved in two years. It needs long- term investment to make sustainable impact. IDA supplemental financing i s requested for an amount o f SDR 7.3 million (US$ 10 million equivalent). The Government o f Madagascar and beneficiaries will contribute US$1million. 16. Implementing arrangements: The executing unit o f the Second Community Nutrition Project, SEECALINE, has demonstrated capacity to intervene effectively at the community level and to undertake large scale operations. The first Community Nutrition project established over 500 nutrition centers in two provinces over a four year period; the second project has established 3600 nutrition centers over the last four years. Each center covers between 200 and 500 children and women. Regional offices have been established in all six regions. The supplemental credit will continue to be implemented through contracting o f NGOs under the same arrangements as the current project. 17. As part of the request for a supplemental credit, a concomitant extension of the closing date from January 31, 2004 to October 31, 2004 i s proposed. Without such an extension the project would not be able to finalize the planned activities. Accordingly, the legal documentation for the supplemental financing, the Agreement Amending the Development Credit Agreement would reflect the new closing date. 18. Accounting financial reporting and auditing arrangements: The financial transactions pertaining to the Supplemental Credit will be recorded and monitored by the PIU Seecaline which has considerable experience and a good track record in managing Bank funds. The PIU has established an acceptable accounting system that has worked efficiently during project implementation and which will continue for the Supplemental Credit. Appropriate accounting staff i s in place for maintaining proper records and accounts, and producing on a timely basis all financial reports required for managing and monitoringproject activities. The format and frequency o f reporting will be maintained as defined inthe project implementation manuals. Independent auditors acceptable to IDA would audit the use o f all funds available under the Supplemental Credit, reflected in project financial statements. The Bank may accept a single audit opinion on the annual financial statements instead o f requiring separate audit opinions on Special Account and statement o f expenditures as their associated transactions and balances are reflected in the project financial statements. Audit reports would be submitted to IDA no later than six months after termination o f the project. The Implementation Completion Report will be prepared within six months after Credit closing. 19. Environmental and Social Aspects: There i s no change in environmental aspects and as stated in the project appraisal report o f the original project, there could likely be a positive impact on the environment since it would contribute to improved hygiene and sanitation in schools and at home. In addition, the small grant fund S  component under the original project has financed small activities including cleaningup o f the market place. The environmental classification category remains C. 20. Sustainability Through its community-based interventions, the project (i) empowers communities to deal with malnutrition; (ii) promotes positive changes in caring practices related to the preparation o f food, hygiene, and feeding at the household level, especially for children, pregnant and lactating women; (iii) promotes an intersectoral approach to combat malnutrition through village communities, schools and health centers; and (iv) relies on local NGOs to organize communities and assist them inimplementingcommunity nutrition interventions, thus creating local capacity to further develop these interventions. Special emphasis was given on early warning and preventative measuresintraining modules following the cyclone and drought periods. 21. Risks: The original project rated institutional capacity at high risk. This however has been mitigated by substantial training and through learning by doing o f the local NGOs. Another threat to the project could be the limited food availability in the affected areas, which in turn is mitigated by the on-going emergency WFP operation to distribute food to prevent the development of widespread famine and furtherdeterioration ofthe nutritional status ofhouseholds mostaffected. 22. Effectiveness conditions and agreements: Except for submission o f a satisfactory legal opinion on the Agreement Amending the Development Credit Agreement, no additional conditions o f effectiveness are required. ?  ScheduleA Pape 1of 1 REPUBLIC OFMADAGASCAR SECOND COMMUNITY NUTRITION SUPPLEMENTALFINANCING ESTIMATED ADDITIONAL PROJECTCOSTSAND FINANCING (inUS$ 11million) I-ESTIMATEDPROJECTCOSTS FOREIGNAS Government LOCAL FOREIGN TOTAL Yo OF TOTAL Counterpart Funding (1) Civil Works 70 000 70 000 14 000 (2) Goods 555 000 145 000 700 000 20.71% 111000 (3) Drugs 500 000 500 000 100 000 (4) CommunityFundGrants 500 000 500 000 (5) Consultants'services, andaudits 4 800 000 550 000 5 350 000 10.28% (6) Training 1104000 216 000 1 380 000 20.00% (7)OperatingCosts 2 500 000 2 500 000 375 000 (8) Unallocated Total ProjectCosts 10 029 000 971 000 11000 000 8.83% 600 000 I1- PROJECTFINANCING (inUS$million) IDA 10.0 Government 0.6 CommunitiedBeneficiaries 0.4 Total 11.0  ScheduleB Page 1of 2 REPUBLIC OF MADAGASCAR SECOND COMMUNITY NUTRITION SUPPLEMENTALFINANCING KEY PERFORMANCEINDICATORS FORCOMMUNITY NUTRITIONPROGRAM I SAR ACTUAL ACTUAL/ REVISED Estimate (Average Estimate Estimatefor lasl (per year) per year) Yo year of project, (1) (2) accumulated (3) Number andproportionofchildrenenrolledin 182 000 176 900 97 812 700 the growthmonitoringandpromotionprogram Number andproportionofmalnourished 152 000 93 560 62 679 056 childrenandpregnantwomenreceiving supplemental feeding Number andproportionofchildrenand 248 200 170 744 69 1 108 884 lactatingwomenreceivingvitamin A supplementation Number andproportionofcommunity nutrition 969 1428 147 4 332 workers and socialworkers trainedinnutrition techniques andIEC Number andproportionofwomeninvolvedin IgrowthmonitoringandpromotionandIEC 145 600 141510 97 546 245 activities Number ofnutrition-relatedactivities designed and implementedby village communities 808 1152 142 3 612 (1) :figures representthe average objectivesper year (2) :figures show the average actualachievements / realizationsper year (3) :the last year of the projectwill be 2004  ScheduleB Page2 of 2 KEY PERFORMANCEINDICATORS FOR SCHOOL NUTRITIONPROGRAM SAR ACTUAL ACTUAL/ REVISED Estimate (Average Estimate Estimatefor last (per year) per year) % year of project (1) (2) (3) Number o f school-agedchildren dewormed 516 000 694 000 134% 3 000 000 (enrolled andnon-enrolled) Number of schoolchildren receiving weekly 216 000 283 000 131% 1500 000 iron supplements Number of schoolstesting iodized salt usedinth 1260 1600 126% 9 000 householdsof school children Number ofschools receiving smallgrantsfor 1260 40 0,03% 1000 nutrition interventions (1) :figuresrepresentthe averageobjectivesper year (2) :figures show the average actual achievements/ realizations per year (3) :the last year of the project will be 2004  Schedule C Page 1of 2 SECOND COMMUNITY NUTRITION SUPPLEMENTALFINANCING PROCUREMENT METHODS AND DISBURSEMENTS I.SUMMARYOFPROPOSEDPROCUREMENTARRAYGEMENTS (in US$ million)' National Other Methods2 Total Competitive Bidding (NCW (1) Civil Works 70 000 70 000 (47 000) (47 000) (2) Goods 300 000 400 000 700 000 (240 000) (275 000) (515 000) (3) Drugs 500 000 500 000 (400 000) (400 000) (4) Community Fund Grants 500 000 500 000 (400 000) (400 000) (5) Consultants' services, and audits 100 000 5 250 000 5 350 000 (100 000) (5 250 000) (5 350 000) (6) Training 1380 000 1380 000 (1 380 000) (1 380 000) (7) Operating Costs 2 500 000 2 500 000 (1 908 000) (1 908 000) (8) Unallocated TOTAL 400 000 10 600 000 11000 000 (340 000) (9 660 000) (10 000 000) I .
