For every child, deliver.
The Tanzanian Government is implementing the second phase of the Productive Social Safety Net (PSSN) program as one of the Government’s key strategies to operationalize the social protection agenda in Tanzania. PSSN II is a union program that is implemented in mainland and Zanzibar in Villages/Mitaa/Shehia in all 187 Project Authority Areas (PAAs) with beneficiaries 5,180,940 of which 56.0 percent are females and 44.0 percent are males. The total number of households is 1,375,107 households. Children under five are 362,888 and between 6 – 18 years of age is 2,139,500.
The objective of PSSN program is to improve access to income earnings opportunities and socio-economic services for targeted households, while enhancing and protecting the human capital of their children.
The PSSN II programme acknowledges the need for a strategic action towards addressing nutrition amongst the children in the PSSN program. In Tanzania the rate of chronic malnutrition is high with 34 percent of children under five being stunted. It is noted that poverty is one of the root causes for malnutrition. Social protection safety net programs can be one channel to address immediate, underlying, and basic causes of malnutrition because solving the problem of malnutrition is a social rather than a technical issue (thus requires addressing fundamental social inequities. According from the (Tanzania National Nutrition Survey, 2018) although child stunting has decreased significantly from 50% in 1996, levels remain “very high” at 31.8%, with some mainland regions exceeding 40%. Wasting also remains a problem, although levels have fallen dramatically from 27% in 1996 to 3.5% in 2018 Key immediate drivers of child undernutrition are maternal undernutrition (28.8% of women of reproductive age are anemic), low birth weight (6.3%), and poor infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices. Only 53.5% of mothers initiate breastfeeding early, 58% exclusively breastfeed their infant under six months of age, and only 30.3% of children aged 6-23 months have a minimum acceptable diet (Tanzania National Nutrition Survey, 2018.) In Zanzibar, stunting among children under 5 declined by 12% from 24.4$ in 2014 to 21.5% in 2018. Similarly, acute malnutrition declines from 7.2% in 2014 to 6.1% in 2018. Exclusive breastfeeding of infants under six months in Zanzibar was 30%.
Stawisha Maisha
Stawisha Maisha (SM) is a peer group membership social behavioral change initiative designed to build the capacity of cash recipients in terms of infant and young children feeding practice. Stawisha Maisha’s main objective rests in the creation of experiences that foster and develop a sense of self-efficacy, knowledge, skills, and motivation around nutritional practices that are proven to improve transformative nutrition outcomes.
The pilot programme was implemented in Mbeya DC (Tanzania mainland) and in Kaskazini B district, Kaskazini Unguja region in Zanzibar in 2018-2019. In Mbeya DC, it included 107 sites and 793 SM groups were formed, while in Kaskazini B there were 20 sites, and 291 SM groups were formed. A recent SM evaluation found that 6 Stawisha Maisha sessions yielded significant increases in participants’ knowledge on feeding practice for infants and young child, as well as exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months, and pregnant women’s diet.
The end of pilot review recommended a national scaling up to build up on the lesson observed on increased knowledge and motivation for usage of improved maternal and infant and young children feeding practice. The review notes that there was an increased self-confidence and self-efficacy including to strengthen family goals and aspirations for child development.
The scale design for the Stawisha Maisha will target only mothers / primary caregivers from rural TASAF PSSN cash transfer beneficiary households that include U5 children (U5BHHs). The total expected numbers is 300,000 rural beneficiary households with under-five children.
The main objective is to reduce nutritional stunting through improved maternal, infant and young child feeding practices. Pathways to reach the desired change include, in addition to knowledge, increased self-efficacy, peer support, and openness to learning and change; increased aspiration for self and child(ren); improved skills for planning and goal setting, problem-solving, and increased resilience in the face of challenges and setbacks.
The methodology, Stawisha Maisha shall be both a radio platform and a network of small in-person peer-led radio listening groups. A weekly broadcast radio magazine programme uses entertaining content to engage participants, embedding a variety of methodological approaches designed to influence social norms and individual behavior to promote adoption of nutrition behaviors that reduce and prevent stunting. Social modelling is the principal SBC methodology employed.
