ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We wish to thank all institutions; NGOs, Ministries, UN Organizations and Agencies for the necessary co operations and logistical support which made this inventory exercise possible. Sincere thanks are due particularly to several Tanzania Food and Nutrition Centre (TFNC) staff who made important contributions from the preparation to the inventory exercise itself. These include TFNC management team, programme officers and support staff. This inventory exercise could never have been completed without high-level commitment of many individuals and institutions so that they become real exchange partners of Food Nutrition and related issues materials ii

1.0 BACKGROUND 1.1 Rationale Tanzania Food and Nutrition Centre (TFNC) has been producing publications to meet the needs of various stakeholders at different levels. These stakeholders include policy makers, trainers, researchers, students, extension workers and the general public. Others are the Ministries and its affiliated institutions that we collaborate with. These are the Ministries of Health and Social Welfare, Education and Vocational Training, Agriculture, Food Security and Cooperatives, Regional Administration and Local Government, Community Development Gender and Children. Also the Centre collaborate with the University of (UDSM), Muhimbili University College of Health Sciences (MUCHS), Sokoine University of Agriculture (SUA), The Open University of Tanzania (OUT), Hubert Kairuki Memorial University, Tanzania Commission for AIDS (TACAIDS), National AIDS Control Programme (NACP), National Institute of Medical Research (NIMR), National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), Commission for Science and Technology (COSTECH), Tanzania Bureau of Standards (TBS), Tanzania Drugs and Food Authorities (TFDA), Some NGOs, secondary schools (ordinary and advanced levels) particularly those teaching Home Economics and Human Nutrition and the Public Libraries which all receive TFNC publications. Other stakeholders which the Centre collaborates with are International organizations. These include United Nation Children Funds (UNICEF), World Health Organization (WHO), Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA), Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), United State of America International Development (USAID) The Technical Centre for Agricultural and Rural Cooperation (CTA), The International Baby Food Action Network Africa (IBFAN Africa), Natural Research Institute (NRI), World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action (WABA) and African Medical Research Foundation (AMREF). 1

The Centre over the years; has been distributing its publications to those stakeholders through various channels such as workshops, Books exhibitions, postal delivery on request or personal visits. Since the distribution of TFNC publications has been carried out in that style for a long time, it was felt that there is a need to review the list of our stakeholders both inside and outside the country. We desired to review the list due to the fact that since contact persons may have moved, or scope of partners may have changed or even new partners may be interested in our products. With that in mind therefore, the inventory exercise has enabled us modify the list to remove/add new users for improvement of the distribution for better knowledge sharing. Also through inventory we have been able to sensitize the institutions that produce publications of our interests and we have identified what we can get from them on exchange agreements. The following activities were done so as to accomplish the inventory exercise: Development of a tool for the inventory Take inventory of local and international institutions that are relevant to the Centre. Take inventory of their existing websites Check list of existing contact persons in collaborating institutions Take stock of relevant publications produced by collaborating institutions Establish mode of communication with partners and their postal/physical addresses Compile an exhaustive list of exchange partners for the Centre Compile useful Websites to the Centre. 2

1.2 Objective of inventory exercise 1.2.1 General objective To take inventory of Nutrition publications Exchange Partners with TFNC so as to strengthen TFNC Library collection as well as achieving a wider dissemination of Food and Nutrition Information. 1.2.2 Specific objectives: 1. To identify Nutrition information Exchange partners 2. To identify partners producing/generating information on nutrition or related matter for public use 3. To establish mode of communication with partners and their postal/physical addresses 4. To identify proportion of partner receiving publications from TFNC. 2.0 METHODOLOGY OF THE STUDY 2.1 Study population: The target population comprised of all Ministries, NGOs, UN Agencies and Institutions involved in implementation and dissemination of Food, Nutrition Health and related information to the community based in. Also we targeted Development partners (International Organizations and bilateral and multilateral Agencies) outside Tanzania dealing with designation of Food Nutrition and related information. 2.2 Sampling procedures: Purposive sampling techniques was used in selecting 7 Ministries, 10 NGOs, 10 UN Agencies and Bilateral Organizations and 14 Research, Service and Academic Institutions. 3

2.3 Data collection procedures. A questionnaire to be used to collect relevant data was developed by 4 TFNC programme officers and later on distributed to the respondents who were required to fill in. These were the heads of communication, IEC units, Training units or Librarians under the institutions. Questionnaires were sent to respondents through postal channels as well as physical contacts. In most cases, there was physical dialogue between the investigators and the respondents on the importance of the assessment before it was accepted and affected. The project staff were later on responsible for follow-up and collection of the completed questionnaires from the respondents. Some of the questionnaires were returned to TFNC by respondents themselves or via post. Additionally, information was collected through documents, e-mail and through discussion with the relevant staff in the relevant institutions. 2.4 Data processing and Analysis: Data collected from respondents were summarized manually on various sheets of papers. In summarizing the data great care was taken to make sure that it actually reflected the original meaning of information collected. Numerical datas were summarized in tables using descriptive statistics of percentages for easy presentation and interpretation. 4

3.0 FINDINGS 3.1 Characteristics of Information Exchange Partners involved Four categories of institutions were involved in the rapid assessment of nutrition information exchange partners. These are Government Ministries/ministerial departments; n-government Organizations, United Nations Agencies/bilateral Organizations as well as Research, Service and Academic iistitutions. The type of institutions under each category with its major purpose of establishment (goal) is clearly indicated below. 5

To teach food and nutrition subject from form one to form six. To provide strategic leadership for a national, multi-sectoral response to Tanzanians from the threat of HIV/AIDS and support those who are already infected and affected by HIV and AIDS. 7

Response rate was close to 60% with lowest status among United Nations Agencies/bilateral Organizations and highest among Research, Service and Academic Institutions. Generally, the major purposes of establishment of almost all the respondents indeed reflect the key features of the conceptual approach to the problem of malnutrition among disadvantaged and developing communities designed and advocated by TFNC and UNICEF. 3.2 Partners involved in production and documentation of nutrition or related publications/information Out of the 33 respondents, 17 (51.5%) deal with production and documentation of relevant publications. Among these, the ministries/departments and the UN Agencies/Bilateral Organizations rated higher compared to n-government Organizations and Research Service and Academic institutions (Table 2). Table 2: Proportion of respondents producing publication/generating nutrition or related information for public use.

Some of the UN Agencies/bilateral organizations (UNICEF, UNDP), Annex 1; and other Organizations in this category, reported that they produce such material in collaboration with relevant partners. It is also worthwhile to note here that although Research Service and Academic Institutions are expected to lead the process of production and documentation materials in question, but according to this assessment they produce minimum number of such materials. At the same time they are the ones handling most of such publications (Table 3) indicating dependency on other institutions for their nutrition information needs. Table 3: Proportion of respondents not producing/generating nutrition information but handling it Nature of Partner of Respondents Handling of relevant publications 1. Ministries/departments 8 4(50%) 2. n-government Organizations 6 3(50%) 3. UN Agencies/Bilateral Organizations 7 3(42.8%) 4. Research Service and Academic Institutions 12 7(58.3%) Total 33 17(51.5%) It could also be assumed here that there may be a considerable number of institutions under Research, Service and Academic Institutions generating information from research and related services but do not develop it into publication. About half (51.5%) of all the institutions handle nutrition information although they may not have generated it themselves. The good news here is that most of the publications under all categories of institutions are free for exchange (48.5%) and not for sale (27.3%) Table 2. 9

3.3 Nutrition information/publication needs by partners from TFNC and means of Acquisition. Most institutions (75% - 85%) accepted to have acquired or come across TFNC publications or draft reports. The means of acquisitions of such materials was predominantly reported to be free (Table 4(a). Table 4(a): Proportion of partners receiving publications from TFNC and means of acquisition Nature of Partner of Acquisition Means of Acquisition Respondents Borrowing Free Purchase 1. Ministries/departments 8 6(75%) 0(0.0%) 5(62.5%) 2(25%) 2. n-government Organizations 6 583.3%) 0(0.0%) 5(83.3%) 0(0.0%) 3. UN Agencies/Bilateral Organizations 7 6(85.7%) 0(0.0%) 6(85.7%) 0(0.0%) 4.

Since such institutions are also among the ones producing/documenting such kind of information/publications most it can be assumed that these are the ones mostly in need of such kind of collaboration (information exchange/sharing). Otherwise the difference in acquisition of such publications is minimal and therefore insignificant. 3.4. Reasons for not receiving TFNC publications/information Among the few reasons provided by the respondents for not often receiving information from TFNC, was poor communication (lack of established network) which appeared to be a bigger problem than either lack of awareness or low priority assigned to suck kind of information among TFNC partners. This was even more so under the ministries/departments despite the fact that such information needs for this group could be considered most essential. This is because most of the reliable extension workers up to the grassroot level are under the government ministries/departments. 10

Low priority assigned to nutrition information and therefore publications was not reported anywhere except under UN Agencies/Bilateral Organizations where it also appears to be insignificant.

TFNC publication (information) exchange needs by partners Generally all the partners contacted indicated great needs of nutrition information/publications from TFNC ranging from 63.6% - 90.9%. Out of nine titles presented, information on diet-related issues and household food security appear to be required most while that on Vitamin A Deficiency specifically, appear to be required least as shown by Table 5 below. 11

Basing on the individual partners, full requirement (100%) of such information was indicated for Diet Related issues (Ministries/departments, Research, Service and Academic Institutions); Household Food Security (Ministries/departments and n-government Organizations); Nutrition and HIV/AIDS and other nutrition material publications (n-government Organizations). It may be predicted as such that the Ministries/departments and the n- Government Organizations are the ones requiring our publications most. In the case of the UN Agencies/Bilateral Organizations where the rate of nutrition information needs is the same for all titles this is because two of the respondents (Sida & USAID) didn t indicate any needs of nutrition information from TFNC while the rest indicated full requirement of all the available information. 3.6 Nutrition Information exchange means/communication media This quick assessment revealed that there may not be significant difference between the uses of various communication media suggested among the information exchange partners. Such media are visits, seminar/workshops, TV, radio, internet and book exhibitions whose response ranged from 21.2% (TV) to 48.5% (Internet). 13

What can be noted here is that all the response rates are below 50% indicating perhaps inadequate experience on the use of such media. However, internet/website could be the best means of communication of nutrition information preferred by the TFNC partners. Generally it is the ministries/departments who mostly have experience or confidence on the use of such communication means for exchange of such information. The UN Agencies/Bilateral Organizations on the other hand prefer the use of postal (42.8%) as well as internet services (57.1%). 4.0 CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS 4.1 Conclusion. Production/generation of nutrition information among the institutions contacted (ref. Table 1) was around average (51.5% of total respondents) and surprisingly it was not encouraging for Research, Service and Academic Institutions. Nutrition information was predominantly produced for exchange and not for sale. Research, Service and Academic Institutions seem to be the ones mostly handling nutrition publications/information although they were not producing it themselves. Most of the respondents (75% - 85%) had acquired or come across TFNC information materials and most of the information (78%) was freely acquired. Research, Service and Academic Institutions as well as Ministries/departments are lagging behind in acquiring TFNC information materials compared to UN Agencies/Bilateral Organizations and n-government Organizations. Poor communication (lack of established exchange means) appeared to be a bigger problem than either lack of awareness or low priority assigned to such kind of information among TFNC partners. 15

All partners contacted indicated high needs of nutrition information/publications from TFNC especially those on diet-related issues and food security. Use of website/internet in information exchange was preferred most compared to other cited means of communication ie. visits, seminars/workshops, TV radio postal services and book exhibition. 4.2 Recommendations: TFNC as well as other Research oriented and Academic Institutions dealing with nutrition should be encouraged to generate, publish and share relevant information through established/reliable means. Free means of acquisition of nutrition information found among most of the institutions in question should be commended/encouraged since it promotes use of such information. More effort required in promoting awareness on what TFNC is doing and therefore nutrition information material documented at the institution among partners especially relevant ministries the Research, Service and Academic Institutions and even the general. This will raise awareness and create demand for nutrition information exchange. This could be achieved through socio-marketing strategies in electronic and non-electronic media. Ensuring regular participation in nutrition info exchange opportunities e.g. meetings of the national nutrition information documentation committee (stakeholders) joint publication exhibitions especially during annual events related to nutrition including national conferences and book exhibitions. Ensuring for regular exchange of scientific journals or newsletters and key official reports published by TFNC and partners. Finalize and publicize establishment of TFNC website among TFNC partners and the general public. 16

Where possible most of the existing reports particularly those showing increased public demand (although unpublished) should be processed electronically for easy consumption. 17
