Guidelines for the Management of Nutrition Programmes : A Manual for Nutrition Officers

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.Bagchi, K. is the author of 'Guidelines for the Management of Nutrition Programmes : A Manual for Nutrition Officers', published 1989 under ISBN 9789290210993 and ISBN 9290210990.
