Rapid Assessment of Malnutrition in Older People The project, RAM-OP (rapid assessment method for older people), will provide humanitarian partners with a simple, quick, reliable, robust and cost effective method for assessing the nutritional status and vulnerabilities of older
people in emergencies. It can also be used as a project evaluation tool to assess the impact of the humanitarian response on older people.The proposed approach to assessment moves away from the labour and time intensive sample design typified by SMART, and for the first time offers a quick, reliable and spatially representative survey method for assessing multiple key health and nutrition-related indicators. It is based on a rapid assessment method which utilises smaller samples (220 to 240 individuals instead of more than 600 with classic cluster surveys) and 20 to 24 clusters (instead of the recommended 30 with SMART). The full assessment package will include: A spatial sampling methodology which is easily reproduced in different contexts (rural, urban, pastoralists), A questionnaire with 60 measures and close-end questions, including the measurement of the middle upper arm circumference (MUAC) to assess individuals' nutritional status (rather than the body mass index), A free software programme allowing the automatic analysis of the data
collected, and reporting of results such as the prevalence of severe andmoderate acute malnutrition with 95% confidence intervals, as well as an analysis of the risk factors potentially linked with malnutrition. There is a current £10k underspend on this project and HelpAge is currently proposing further dissemination activities.

Empowering Older People to Improve Lives This project aims to sustainably reduce poverty of marginalized and impoverished 45,425 older people in the rural Shikarpur and Jacobabad districts of Sindh Province, Pakistan. Thousands of older people lost their livelihoods in serious flooding in 2010 and 2012 and due to extreme poverty and a lack of savings they did not have the capital necessary to reestablish them. They also found themselves excluded from government and private micro credit schemes and government welfare grants on the basis of their age. As people get older they become ever more vulnerable to financial insecurity and increasingly dependent on family members. Targeting 100 communities across the Jacobabad and Shikarpur districts of Sindh province, the project's main purpose is to improve access to private or government micro credit and welfare grants for older people by ensuring that their needs are heard, taken into account and addressed through non-discriminatory changes to policy and practice. This will be done by empowering older people to organize themselves and engage with and influence policy decision makers through capacity building activities.  Changes in MFI rules and practice to be inclusive of people of all ages will be complimented with increased knowledge and capacity among targeted community members about how to access the financing and develop profitable livelihoods. The project aims to replicate district level achievements and good practices during the project period at the provincial and potentially national level, benefiting older people on a much wider and long term scale. The most vulnerable older people, for example those with disabilities, those living alone, widows or the extremely impoverished, will be targeted. To improve the mid-term food and livelihood security of 2000 disadvantaged older people and their families and to set in place structures and standards that improve older people's access to livelihoods support and social protection in the long term at provincial and national level Older people in Sindh Province increase their participation in district and provincial level decision making and planning processes through membership of Older People Associations, to engage with and influence local authorities and financial and social protection institutions Older People in Sindh Province have improved access to state and non-state grants, loans and other livelihoods and social protection services due to new age friendly policies being adopted and practiced by state and non-state actors 2000 Older people experience a reduction in poverty enabling them to better meet their food and other priority basic needs
