Integration

Integration of Nutrition Assessment, Counseling, and Support into Routine Health Service Delivery

Background

SPRING is a five-year cooperative agreement funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), with the goals of reducing undernutrition, preventing stunting, and reducing anemia in women and children. To achieve this, SPRING/Uganda provides technical support to the government of Uganda to deliver high-impact nutrition interventions primarily targeting women of childbearing age and children under two years of age.

Measuring Integration: Developing Common Metrics for Integrated Agriculture and Nutrition Interventions

Agricultural interventions are increasingly being integrated into health and nutrition programs and expected to contribute to improved health and nutrition. As a result, there is greater need for evidence and guidance on potential synergies between and across these sectors, especially in terms of what mix of actions can best support priority outcomes under each. The range and types of proven research methods used for agriculture are and have been quite separate from those used for health and nutrition.
