Book Description
In 2002, FAO published "Improving nutrition programmes - an assessment tool for action" to assist programme managers in improving the impact and sustainability of food and nutrition programmes. However, during the participatory-led development process the need was felt for a sound orientation procedure on which the assessment team - comprised not only of nutrition workers but also of partners from related sectors - could build a common vision and develop its capacity to conduct the programme assessment in a rigorous, efficient and systematic manner. This companion Users' training manual has thus been prepared to maintain a better focus on the assessment process. It consists of six topics to be taught and discussed over a period of three to five days. Each topic includes key issues, case studies, ideas for discussion related to conducting an assessment, trainer's notes and a set of handouts for the learners. It can also be adapted to varying levels of knowledge and to the amount of time available. Together these publications constitute valuable tools for all those involved in assessing community-based food and nutrition programmes.

Book Description
This paper—which draws on inputs to, and discussions at, a methods development workshop—highlights the various concepts, methods, and tools that SoC researchers are considering to measure nutrition-relevant change in their respective countries. The focus is on nutrition-relevant policy and practice. These tools apply to 11 subthemes, which are to some extent sequential within policy/programming cycles: (1) assessing the nutrition problem, (2) stakeholder and institutional analysis/mapping, (3) understanding enabling environments for nutrition, (4) agenda setting and political commitment for nutrition, (5) policy formulation and policy processes, (6) multisectoral coordination, (7) implementation and vertical coherence, (8) scaling up, (9) assessing capacity, (10) assessing finance, and (11) monitoring, evaluation, and accountability. Examining these various methods and tools together allows for a holistic consideration of the processes that—while challenging to document and measure—play a key role in improving nutrition-relevant policy and practice, which, in turn, drives national achievement in reducing malnutrition.

Book Description
A practical manual designed to assist the managers of nutrition intervention programs in Eastern Mediterranean countries. In 17 chapters, the book takes its readers through virtually every step involved in planning and implementing effective interventions, whether to combat malnutrition, provide disaster relief, or protect populations from chronic diseases linked to nutrient excess. Each chapter describes one particular responsibility and then issues guidelines for solving the relevant management problems. Details range from an explanation of why nutrition managers so often fail in their tasks to a tabular presentation of actions and expected outcomes for each step in the planning of a nutrition program. Indicators for use in evaluating interventions are also presented and explained. Information in the manual is equally appropriate for central and for local nutrition planning.
