There are two types of Emergency supplementary feeding programmes;
1. Targeted – This targets identified individuals who are severely malnourished. Targeted
Emergency supplementary feeding programmes should be run in conjunction with a GFD
that provides for all the nutritional needs of the population except particular groups.
Groups that might require Emergency supplementary feeding programmes are: the
malnourished, who have additional nutritional requirements for catch-up growth; the
medically ill, who have additional nutritional requirements for tissue repair; and certain
socio-economic groups, who have restricted access to the GFD
2. Blanket – gives food to all individuals within a specified group. Blanket ESFPs aim
primarily to prevent deterioration in the nutritional status of at-risk groups in a population
and to reduce the prevalence of acute malnutrition in children under age five. Blanket
ESFPs may be set up at the onset of an emergency when GFD systems are not adequately
in place and/or rates of acute malnutrition are high (e.g., more than 15 per cent), an
increase in rates of malnutrition is anticipated due to seasonally induced epidemics or in
case micronutrient deficiency disease outbreaks.
