Examples of Nutrition-Specific Interventions

Micronutrient Supplementation

Deworming

Fortification of Staple Foods

Prevention/treatment of acute malnutrition (CMAM,

Public Provision of Complementary Foods)

Examples of Nutrition-Sensitive Interventions

Agriculture (e.g. Biofortification, Aflatoxin

Control)

Education (e.g. Hygiene promotion, school-based

deworming)

WASH

Social Protection (e.g. CCTs)

Step 1: Consultations with government and partners to identify nutrition-specific interventions and to explore potential nutrition-sensitive interventions

Step 2: Data Collection (Coverage rates and unit costs)

Step 3: Costing Calculations (Cost of scaling up interventions from current coverage rates)

Step 4: Benefit Calculations (DALYs saved, Lives saved, Cases of stunting averted, Return on investment)

Step 5: Cost-effectiveness analysis, elaboration of scale-up scenarios for prioritizing resource allocation, and capacity building for government officials
