Improving
Nutrition Programmes : An Assessment Tool for Action
FAO, 2006.
ISBN 978-92-5-105588-5
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
Programmes: an Assessment Tool for Action (AT) was developed and published
by FAO. |
