Abstract

The longer-term trend towards decreasing foreign assistance has aroused great interest in tracking of domestic funding given that more than half of the anticipated additional funding for nutrition is expected from domestic sources. Given the limited trend analysis of nutrition budgets across developing countries, this review aimed to examine trends in nutrition financing as a proxy of national commitment for nutrition. We explored the program-based budget allocations and expenditure from 2017-2019 in the Chad republic, Gambia and Ghana for food and nutrition security (FNS) activities in various sectors. The total annual allocations for FNS activities from 2017-2019 in the Chad republic, Gambia and Ghana were €24,796,501, €155,416,112, and €3,299,472,194 of which 93.5%, 15.7% and 100% respectively of allocated funded were expended. The proportion of FNS allocations and expenditure was <5% of the gross domestic product across the three countries. Three-quarters (the Chad republic and Gambia) and one-quarter (Ghana) of all FNS activities were nutrition friendly as compared to being nutrition-specific/sensitive. Of the nutrition-specific/sensitive activities, about 9 in 10 were nutrition-sensitive. The main thematic areas of FNS activities were agriculture/food systems, health, education, water, sanitation and hygiene. There were significant resource gaps in FNS budget allocations and expenditure across the three countries making it difficult to establish a consistent domestic funding trend. Resource mobilization plans to bridge budget implementation gaps for domestic funding are urgently needed to scale-up government commitments toward the attainment of the sustainable development goals in these countries.

2017-2019 年萨赫勒和西非部分地区粮食和营养安全资金预算跟踪。
外国援助减少的长期趋势引起了人们对国内资金跟踪的极大兴趣,因为预计增加的营养资金有一半以上来自国内。鉴于对发展中国家营养预算的趋势分析有限,本综述旨在研究营养资金的趋势,以此作为国家营养承诺的替代指标。我们探讨了乍得共和国、冈比亚和加纳 2017-2019 年基于计划的预算分配和支出,用于各部门的粮食和营养安全(FNS)活动。2017-2019年,乍得共和国、冈比亚和加纳用于FNS活动的年度拨款总额分别为24,796,501欧元、155,416,112欧元和3,299,472,194欧元,其中93.5%、15.7%和100%的拨款资金已经支出。FNS 拨款和支出的比例是
