The Link NCA Methodology
Core Group Fall Conference, Washington D.C., October 14th, 2016
Global objective • To understand the Link NCA process Specific objectives • To receive an overview of the methodology • To understand the importance of the preparatory
phase • To know how to Link findings to programming
Module Objectives
• Structured, participatory, holistic study • Based on the UNICEF causal framework
Causes and pathways – what is happening?
In a local context To build a case for nutrition causality in a local
context
Evidence – based consensus
The Link NCA in a nutshell
Research questions and objectives
Qualitative inquiry
SMART survey
Risk Factor Survey
1. Undernutrition prevalence
2. Risk factor prevalence
3. Pathways to under-nutrition and interrelation
4. Chocks, seasonality,
historical trends
5. Main pathways and risk factors
6. Recommendations to improve nutrition security programming
Link NCA process
Preparatory phase
Conduct the Link NCA study
Response Analysis
Propose / review / adapt programming
1. Preparatory phase Several meetings : intern and/or with partners
Context analysis, plan and preparation (objectives, information gaps and added value, feasibility, ethics, stability, partners, format/type of future response)
2. Identify hypothesised risk factors and pathways
Validation of hypotheses to be field-tested
Main steps (1/2)
Main steps (2/2) 3. Data collection Qualitative inquiry, community rating SMART Survey and Risk Factor Survey
4. Consensus building Analyse, triangulation, report writing Final technical workshop Validation of the findings and final rating 5. Communicating results and planning for a response
Step 5: Type of response
Type of
Response
Develop multi-sectorial interventions to prevent under-nutrition
Advocacy to promote change
Develop interventions to tackle a specific risk factor identified in the Link NCA
Do no Harm
Adapt existing programs to maximize their impact on under-nutrition
Factors shaping response choice
