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. -

FAO Digital Services portfolio
2019The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has developed a Country-level ASIS Tool to help countries monitor agricultural drought and manage its risks, using satellite data to detect cropped land that could be affected by drought. The Tool uses satellite data to detect agricultural areas (farmland) in which crops might be affected by drought. The country-specific version of the Tool is based on the general methodological principles of the global Agricultural Stress Index System (ASIS), which is used at FAO Headquarters to support the Global Information and Early Warning System on Food and Agriculture (GIEWS).
