Six Key Actions to Reduce Anemia
SPRING, September 2017
Districts Address Anemia with DATA
SPRING developed the District Assessment Tool for Anemia (DATA) to assist countries in strengthening anemia programming at the district level. DATA helps districts determine factors contributing to anemia in their specific setting, identifies enablers and barriers to addressing anemia, and offers guidance for prioritizing interventions and actions to strengthen anemia-related programming.
A Multisector Approach to Monitoring Planned and Actual Nutrition Spending
Pomeroy-Stevens, Amanda, Alexis D’Agostino, Madhukar B. Shrestha, and Abel Muzoora. "A Multisector Approach to Monitoring Planned and Actual Nutrition Spending." Field Exchange, no. 55 (July 2017): 49-52. August 18, 2017. Accessed August 21, 2017. http://www.ennonline.net/fex/55.
USAID’s SPRING project has developed an approach that countries can use to bridge the gap between primary data collection and developing more routine systems. In this article, challenges faced in two countries are discussed, as well as adjustments made to overcome these challenges and how this information can strengthen efforts to create routine monitoring systems.
