Financing Plan for Proposed Activities to be Supported by Grant Financier Total Project Cost (US$) Grant (GAIN Foundation through the World Bank) 2.92 Recipient (Kingdom of Morocco) Other Source: - Miller s Federation - Oil Producers Total TOTAL FINANCING BY CATEGORY OF EXPENDITURE (in US Dollars)

6 Financier Goods Consultants Training Operating Fee Total Costs Grant (GAIN/World Bank) Millers Oil Producers Government Total Benefits and Target Population In Morocco, Iron Deficiency Anaemia is 32% among children less than 5 years old with 58% of them having ferritin levels less than 12 µg/l. This anaemia is 33% among women in childbearing age, 37% among pregnant women, and 18% among men. Vitamin A Deficiency is 41% among children less than six years old with retinal less than 200 µg/l, with only 41% of children targeted by the supplementation program. Iodine Deficiency in the form of goitre is 22% among children between 6-12 years of age with 41% of household using iodised salt. 1 As for Vitamin D Deficiency, it is 2.5% among children presented with rickets. The project will target 50% of the total population (approximately 15 million people). The primary beneficiaries are pregnant and lactating women, and children under 5 years of age in the targeted population. There is no specific targeting as it is envisaged that with a good marketing strategy the products will be widely consumed. The monitoring system is not yet set up for the project. An interim period has been granted by GAIN for which a contract was signed in May 2004 between Micronutrients Initiative (MI) and the International Science and Technology Institute (ISTI) to prepare the groundwork for the project. Under this arrangement, ISTI has contracted CDC to do the initial work on setting up the monitoring system, and will field a mission in September 2004 to finalize the monitoring framework, how to operationalize it, and what data is needed, collection and analysis methodology, and responsible entity. In addition, the indicators (as outlined in Section C3) need to be incorporated into the standard data collection tools used by the Ministry of Health. 4. Sustainability Food fortification is an essential part of the Government s strategy to improve health outcomes. The strategy includes an acceleration of the salt iodization program, and fortification of food through flour, oil, milk, and other appropriate vehicles for iron, and vitamin A, B, and D. 1 National Survey on iron deficiency, use of iodised salt, and vitamin A supplementation, MOH, Kingdom of Morocco, 2000.

7 This strategy is characterized by the active involvement of all stakeholders -- public, private and NGOs --, under the leadership of the Ministry of Health. All partners are part of the National Alliance for Fortification (NAF) which is in charge of overseeing the development and implementation of the program and specifically to: develop the strategy for food fortification; coordinate the work of all partners to create synergies and ensure complementary of all on-going activities, and monitor and evaluate all projects contributing to this strategy. The interim period, financed by the MicroNutrient Initiative, is to engage a first set of 11 millers to fortify their products with the fortified pre-mix. However, the target of 11 millers is at risk if the National Alliance for Fortification is unable to bring them on board as planned. However, by fortifying, and in conjunction with a good marketing campaign, demand will be increased, which will promote further production of the fortified flour. Subsequently, additional millers will be accredited, thereby ensuring sustainability of the actions proposed under this project. Production methods and quality control will be assessed during the first six months of project implementation (for the 11 millers). The Grant will target 50 millers during Grant implementation. The Grant will provide for premix in the training sessions provided under the Grant. However, the bulk of the premix will be purchased by the private sector. Flour is currently subsidized in Morocco. In addition, VAT and import taxes have been reduced on micro-feeders and premix, which will encourage the millers to fortify. In addition to the millers, six oil producers will be fortifying their oil with vitamin A and D. To date, four oil producers have been accredited with the logo, and will be distributing their oil on the market very shortly. As mentioned above, the project will not pursue a targeted population, however, it is expected that consumption by vulnerable groups of the fortified products will occur (women and children more specifically). The MOH will be implementing a wide-ranging marketing campaign in the coming months. This will be targeted to the millers and oil producers. An assessment of the results and methodologies used will be done at the end of the first year of project implementation, and at mid-year. C. Implementation and Coordination of Proposed Grant At the behest of the Ministry of Health of Morocco, UNICEF was selected as the executing agency. The management of the Grant and its associated fiduciary aspects will be handled by the UNICEF-Rabat office in Morocco. The Bank held discussions with the UNICEF Head- Office in New York through the Bank s Human Development Network. Discussions were held on a separate level with the Ministry of Health and UNICEF-Rabat during a technical mission in

8 September 2004 to go over the implementation arrangements for the project. It was agreed that the Grant fits into UNICEF s global intervention in matters of nutrition in Morocco. The following provides grounds for UNICEF s management of the project: a. A review of the institutional and implementation arrangements conducted during the March 2004 mission was carried out to assess which type of organization would have the best fit. There are three types of organizations that could undertake the role of Executing Agency: governmental, United Nations organizations (UN), and International or national Non-governmental organizations (NGO). b. Based on a careful review of the characteristics of each type of organization and its experience in implementing similar grants and projects, the Government of Morocco (Ministry of Health) was more comfortable selecting a United Nations organization to be the Executing Agency. Had the UN Organization not been available, the Government would have resorted to an international/national NGO; however, the Government was reluctant to pursue a governmental agency due to inherent problems in the flow of funds through these agencies. c. Based on the assessment carried out for the UN organizations in Morocco (UNICEF, WHO, UNFPA, etc.), it was agreed that UNICEF is the most appropriate organization due to the following key points: (i) by its mandate, UNICEF is concerned with the main thrust of the present Grant, given that the interventions under the Grant target children and pregnant and lactating women; (ii) UNICEF s primary program area concerns nutrition which is part and parcel of its master plan of operations; (iii) UNICEF has the comparative advantage of being on the ground and regularly implements the guidelines developed by other technical organizations, such as WHO, including programs and projects, with control of iron deficiency anemia being a major program; (iv) UNICEF has the capacity or can easily enhance its current capacity to undertake the project management of this Grant; and (v) UNICEF has the essential prerequisites for fiduciary management in the form of financial and procurement systems. UNICEF-Rabat will manage the Grant following the same procedures they currently apply in their cooperative framework with the Ministry of Health. The Bank is satisfied with the procedures being applied, and there is precedence in other Bank-financed projects/grants in other countries. In addition, the Bank accepts UNICEF s financial and procurement procedures under the same precedence. UNICEF-Rabat will sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Ministry of Health s Directorate of Population, which will include a three year work program covering the period of the Grant, and a detailed first year implementation plan. A copy of the MOU will be sent to the Bank once finalized and signed by both parties. In order to support UNICEF s management of the Grant, the Grant will finance an overhead fee of 10% to UNICEF-New York for management of the Grant. In addition, to enable the UNICEF-Rabat office to ensure effective implementation of the Grant, the Grant will finance consultants, goods, and operational support (see details in attached Work Plan). Three consultants will be hired to implement the Grant, equivalent to the positions of an Operations Officer, an Operations Analyst handling Procurement, and an Administrative Assistant to handle

9 the financial aspects of the Grant. They will work in close coordination with the Head of the Health Program - UNICEF-Rabat. The project is spearheaded by the National Alliance for Fortification (NFA), which is a body composed of both private and public sectors, and includes, but not restricted to the following members: Miller s associations, Oil associations, Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Health, semi-private institutes and universities, NGOs, and multi-lateral donors such as WHO and UNICEF (see attached organizational chart). The Ministry of Health, through its Directorate of Population (DP), which is the representative of the NFA, has designated a Coordination Unit (CU) within the DP, who will act as the Focal Point for the NFA. The CU will coordinate the activities agreed upon in the Work Plan of September 2004 with the focal points for each component, which are in turn responsible for ensuring that the activities are carried out as planned. In order to ensure sustainability of the Grant and to focus efforts on the national program for improved nutrition, the Grant will provide capacity building to the CU in the form of training, supervision, and goods (see Work Plan for details). The component focal points will carry out the work program under the Work Plan. They will transmit their requests through to the CU, who will coordinate with UNICEF-Rabat on validating and approving the various requests for financing (goods, services, or training). UNICEF-Rabat will procure the items needed financed under the Grant through their own suppliers. For training and small supplies, UNICEF-Rabat will provide an advance to the CU who will need to ensure that the activity is undertaken within three months of receipt of the advance and remit all invoices and justifications to UNICEF-Rabat no later than six months from the date of the advance. The DP accountant will ensure that the invoices and justifications are validated and in a format acceptable to UNICEF-Rabat. Since July 2004, the International Science and Technology Institute (ISTI) has been awarded the interim phase for preparing the Grant. The activities under this Grant will be completed by December Under this interim phase, the monitoring plan will be developed by the Communicable Disease Center (CDC) which will track not only the Grant indicators, but also other indicators measuring improved nutrition at a national level. It is expected that the Grant will be effective by January, 2005 and will close on December 31, A four-month grace period will be granted, with financial closing of the Grant account taking effect on April 30, Implementing Agency(ies) UNICEF is the implementing agency for the Grant. UNICEF s mission is to: (a) provide the best start in life, survival, growth and early learning for early childhood; (b) build a protective environment for children; (c) prevention, parent-to-child transmission, care and support, orphaned children affected and infected by HIV/AIDS; (d) reaching every child with life-saving

10 vaccines, vitamin A; and (e) provide quality basic education for all, especially girls, and adolescent opportunities. UNICEF has a sound and effective record in implementing its mandate. UNICEF works in a wide range of settings from community partnerships, to countries in crisis, to ensuring health, life skills, and gender equality. UNICEF s greater focus is on improved nutrition, which infiltrates each levels of it s mission. UNICEF manages a wide source of both public and private funds. It has a good track record for financial probity. The project will be implemented through UNICEF s branch office in Rabat, Morocco. The Rabat office has had unqualified audits for the last five years, proof of good financial management and record keeping. During the technical mission of September 2004, the World Bank s Financial Management Specialist was apprised of UNICEF s procedures and found them to be satisfactory. UNICEF applies its own internal audit, which is scheduled to take place in The Grant also requires an additional audit in early 2008, as the Grant will close in December 31, The UNICEF-Rabat office will provide semi-annual progress reports, including procurement and financial reports. This will be officially transmitted to the World Bank by the Head UNICEF Office in New York.

11 2. Incremental Bank Costs The Bank will conduct at least two missions per year during the life of the project. The composition of the Bank s team will comprise of a Nutrition Specialist, a Sr. Public Health Specialist, a Financial Management Specialist, and an Operations Analyst. In addition, a staff located in the World Bank-Rabat Country Office will also provide assistance as needed. The travel budget will be split with ongoing health projects in Morocco.

17 Annex 2 Procurement and Financial Arrangements Procurement Procurement will be carried out using the United Nations guidelines and procedures. The September, 2004 technical mission was apprised of the procedures, which were found to be satisfactory. The UNICEF-Rabat Office will benefit from three staff to handle the work program generated under the Grant. One staff will be designated to assist the existing Procurement Officer of the UNICEF-Rabat Office, and will handle the procurement aspects of the project. The Procurement Plan following UNICEF procedures is attached. All items under a proposed threshold of US$10,000 will be procured through shopping (obtaining at least three quotes). All items under a proposed threshold between US$10,000 and US$100,000 will receive approval through a Contract Review Committee (CRC). All items over a proposed threshold of US$100,000 will be purchased by open bidding, and to be received under sealed envelope, with the evaluation process undertaken by the CRC. UNICEF has a global supplier, Copenhagen Warehouse, Denmark. Authorization will be provided by Copenhagen for all purchases exceeding US$50,000, and agreement to purchase on the local market if time and cost, both key elements, have an influencing factor on the efficient implementation of the Grant. The Bank will supervise the project twice a year and will conduct post-reviews during the supervision missions. Financial Arrangements The technical mission of September 2004 was apprised of UNICEF s procedures and found them to be satisfactory in terms of accounting, staffing, and internal control and reporting. According to the Memorandum of Understanding on Financial Management Requirements in Grant Agreements for which UNICEF is the grant recipient, the Bank waived the mandatory requirement for annually audited project financial statements and agreed to rely on the normal financial management framework of UNICEF to ensure that the grant funds are used for purposes specified in individual grant agreements. UNICEF will apply its own internal audit, which is scheduled to take place in The Grant also requires an additional audit in early 2008, as the Grant will close in December 31, The UNICEF-Rabat office will provide semi-annual financial monitoring reports to be officially transmitted to the World Bank by the Head UNICEF Office in New York. Withdrawals from the Grant Account will be made on the basis of unaudited Financial Monitoring Reports (FMR) per semester; including any other information the Bank may request (Report-Based Disbursements). In the case of the first such request submitted to the Bank before any withdrawal has been made from the Grant Account, UNICEF will submit to the Bank only a statement with the projected sources and applications of funds for the Grant for the six-month period following the date of the request.

18 Special account To facilitate disbursement of eligible expenditures, UNICEF will open and maintain in a commercial bank a Deposit Account in US dollars entitled with the project name. The first deposit will be made based on the receipt of the first FMR, which would cover an estimated six months of eligible expenditures financed by the grant. UNICEF/NY will be responsible for submitting the FMRs to the Bank based on the information provided by UNICEF Rabat.
