Aimed for use in diverse country contexts, this package of tools guides local adaptation, design, planning and implementation of community based IYCF counselling and support services at scale

This revised version is intended as a practical guide to design, implement, monitor and evaluate selective feeding programmes in emergency situations.

Existing evidence: School feeding leads to better educational outcomes, though results are more positive for school enrolment and attendance than for cognitive performance.

The overall objective of this handbook is to inform the design and implementation of cost-effective, affordable, sustainable and scalable school feeding programmes.

This statement presents the recommended cut-offs, summarizes the rationale for their adoption and advocates for their harmonized application in the identification of 6–60 month old infants and children for the management of severe acute malnutrition (SAM). It also reviews the implications on patient load, on discharge criteria and on programme planning and monitoring.

This evaluation sought to identify how WFPs school feeding might effectively address the needs of people in emergency contexts, with a view to learning from current practices and improving future implementation.

Pages 11-12 of this compendium of indicators contain output and outcome indicators for in-school feeding, school feeding take home rations and food for training, including literacy and numeracy programmes, which can be used for monitoring and evaluation.

These guidelines have been prepared in recognition of the widespread use of SF in WFP’s emergency relief and rehabilitation operations. They are designed to guide WFP country offices in deciding whether or not to utilize SF in an emergency setting and, if so, how best to design and implement such a programme.
