Beyond Stunting: Complementary Indicators for USAID Nutrition Activities

It is a comprehensive guide for USAID nutrition programs, projects, and activities to select indicators beyond stunting that can be used for monitoring and evaluation. The report provides an overview of the limitations of using stunting as an indicator, summarizes key findings from a literature review on stunting, and presents approaches for identifying additional indicators. It also provides examples of illustrative indicators at various levels, including output, short-term outcome, and long-term outcome, that are suitable for monitoring and evaluating selected nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive interventions.
