IYCN Agriculture-Nutrition Assessment Guidance

It is published by the Infant and Young Child Nutrition (IYCN) Project, a flagship project of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The manual provides a step-by-step guide on how to assess the potential nutritional impacts of agricultural projects on vulnerable populations, particularly women and children. It includes principles for achieving food security and maximizing nutritional impact, as well as avoiding harm to these populations. The manual also provides instructions for completing a nutritional impact assessment, including defining food insecure population groups, determining the nutritional status of vulnerable groups, and developing a mitigation plan.
