Assistance and Rehabilitation Committee, the National Refugees Commission …) according to the urgency and results of the Early Warning System (SAP) put in place to that effect. - Take measures to ensure the storage of surplus food production in preparation for famines, drought and other disasters. 239. An early warning system (SAP) has been put in place. It consists of collecting and analysing information for the prevention of all risks related to drought, locust outbreaks and floods and forecasts of cyclical factors likely to impact food accessibility. In case of an expected deficit, the National Buffer Stock Management Company (SONAGESS) takes responsibility to build and manage the National Buffer Stock (SNS). The SONAGESS and the Permanent Secretariat for the Coordination of the Cereal Policy (SP/CPC) are responsible for the management of the national buffer stock, the first body (i.e SONAGESS) managing the physical stock, the traditional volume of which is set at 35.000 tonnes and the second (SP/CPC) managing the financial stock corresponding to an equivalent of 25 000 tonnes of cereals. The SONAGESS also receives and preserves food aid sent to the State and the Cereal Market Information System (SIM). - Adopt and implement nutritional strategies 240. In 2007, the national nutrition policy was adopted. It aims at improving the status of nutrition among the population through enhanced supply services in the area of nutrition of health facilities and strengthening of community participation. About 224 regional trainers have been trained in nutrition activities. A new national protocol on provision of care for serious malnutrition has been implemented in the 13 health regions of the country. The National Health Information System (SNIS) has been reformed in recent years to consolidate its performance to enable it to ensure availability and use of health information. In order to improve the performance of the SNIS, a strategic plan has been adopted for the period 2011-2020. It seeks to ensure timely availability of quality accessible health information. - Ensure that food aid does not negatively impact producers and local markets, and that it will be channelled appropriately to people most in need and must be accompanied by programmes which ensure food self-sufficiency among the beneficiary communities 241. The food aid is received and stocked by SONAGESS. The aid is directed to risk areas identified by the Early Warning System (SAP) which is a mechanism consisting of several bodies and it provides information on the agricultural and food situation for one season. The food aid is exclusively directed to highly vulnerable segments of the population through distribution programmes which ensure food self-sufficiency to the beneficiaries. It has no negative impact on local producers. I. The right to water and sanitation a) Access to potable water 242. The water sector is part of the priorities of the State. To this end, a Ministry in charge of water, hydraulic infrastructure and sanitation was established in January 2013. Its missions, among others, consist of formulating and implementing development strategies for water resources, the supply of potable water to the population; implementing and managing water points (wells, dams, etc.). As part of the supervision mission of the quality of water for human consumption, the National Public Health Laboratory (LNSP) publishes every year a list of 60
