Book (stand-alone)Improving Nutrition Programmes - An Assessment Tool For Action (Revised Edition) 2005A strong recommendation of the 1992 FAO/WHO International Conference on Nutrition was that each country should develop and implement a national plan of action on nutrition. Most countries now undertake a range of nutrition activities to tackle their nutrition problems. In some cases, these activities form a cohesive national nutrition programme. In other cases, nutrition problems are tackled through a number of focused nutrition projects or programmes, addressing one or more specific n utrition problems, geographic areas or vulnerable groups. Many countries also have externally-funded programmes of varying dimensions and scope.

Book (stand-alone)Improving nutrition programmes: an assessment tool for action - Users' Training Manual 2006
Also available in:
FAO has developed a methodology that allows countries to carry out in-depth assessments of their community-based food and nutrition programmes. This was done by carrying out an analysis of a number of successful programmes in developing countries, for the purpose of identifying and understanding best practices which contribute to improving the impact and sustainability of such programmes. Based on the lessons learned from them, a technical guide entitled Improving Nutrition Programme s: an Assessment Tool for Action (AT) was developed and published by FAO. The University of the Western Cape’s School of Public Health (UWC) has collaborated closely with FAO throughout this process. At a users’ workshop held in Cape Town, participants agreed that pilot testings of the AT should be carried out as a first step in its dissemination. It was also felt that a users’ training manual would be very helpful for future users. This training manual has thus been develope d with the purpose of enhancing the capacity of the members of assessment teams to conduct nutrition programme assessments, founded on a common understanding of concepts which underpin effective and sustainable community-based nutrition programmes. The skills developed through training and the experience gained from undertaking assessments will facilitate good implementation of programmes and projects to improve nutrition. Besides nutrition planners, other people with planning and pr ogrammatic responsibility who are concerned about poverty alleviation and overall development can, and should, take part in a programme’s assessment. A thorough examination and analysis of the data thus obtained can then be followed by the elaboration of an action plan for improving the impact and the sustainability of community-based nutrition programmes.
