Abstract
A wide array of programs and projects are conducted for improving nutrition, such as food aid for refugees, support for home gardening, social marketing of vitamin Arich foods, school feeding programs, and campaigns for reducing fat intake and increasing consumption of fruit and vegetables. Annually, a large amount of money is spent worldwide for improving the nutritional situation in developing countries. ‘For example, in 1998, the World Bank spent billions of US dollars on Food and Health programs, and UNICEF spent millions of US dollars on Nutrition programs. To justify these expenditures, programs have to be designed based on a good analysis of the existing nutritional situation. Programs should be critically evaluated, for their implementation as well as for their impact on nutritional status and health. Also, in order to modify them appropriately, evaluation findings should be properly communicated to the relevant audience. This process is also known as the “triple A” cycle of Assessing a problem, Analyzing its causes, and taking Action based on this analysis (1).
