Protecting and Promoting Good Nutrition in Crisis and Recovery

GUIDELINES designed to further the development of a more strategic focus that strengthens programme planners' capacity to protect and promote good nutrition in crisis situations. Its purpose is to establish a common vision and standpoint from which to assess, analyze and improve nutritional well-being in a variety of emergency contexts. It will be relevant and useful to those planners and technicians in the fields of nutrition, food security, agriculture, and community and social development who are able to "cross over" between relief and development modalities of working and who recognize the need to adopt a multisectoral approach to achieving the common goal of improved nutritional well-being.
