Request For Proposal For A Baseline And An End-Line Survey – Nutrition International

The prevalence of anaemia among adolescent girls and women of reproductive age (15 to 24 years) at national level is 18.4% (RISKESDAS, Basic Health Research, 2014). However, the data from screening of junior-high school children in Cimahi and Bandung districts in 2013 revealed the prevalence of anaemia among adolescents in the range of 40-50% (DHO, Cimahi, 2013). The data from screening of junior-high school children in Cimahi and Bandung districts in 2013 revealed the prevalence of anaemia among adolescents in the range of 40-50% (DHO, Cimahi, 2013). Based on national guidelines (MoH, 1998), it was recommended to give one IFA tablet weekly for 16 weeks consecutively, plus one IFA tablet daily during menstruation for 10 days to adolescent girls. However, the program was not implemented as envisaged, and giving supplements during menstruation is not feasible or highly acceptable. Some of the reasons for this are; lack of availability of IFA tablets, limited promotion of the intervention and no clear channel for distribution. The MOH has updated the national guideline on prevention and anemia control among adolescent girls at the end of 2016. The updated guideline is aligned with WHO recommendation in aspects of dosing regimen; however, the formulation is not updated. Indonesia. now recommends weekly IFA tablets throughout the year with a dosage of 60 mg elemental iron and 400 microgram folic acid.

NI Indonesia has implemented Weekly Iron and Folic Acid (WIFA) supplementation for school-going adolescent girls to reduce the prevalence of anaemia among them and reinstate the focus of district and national government on the IFA supplementation program for adolescent girls for improved health outcomes. It was initiated as a demonstration program in two districts of Cimahi and Purwakarta in West Java and it is planned to be scale up to two provinces of West Java and Banten. This program is being replicated with new program strategies in two more provinces of East Java and East Nusa Tenggara in Indonesia with support from the DFAT Australia.
NI Indonesia is looking for agency with the baseline and end-line information on anaemia prevalence, in coverage and in adherence of WIFA supplementation program as part of the program evaluation.
