Emergency Supplementary Feeding Programmes

Report
— ODI - Humanitarian Practice Network
Download PDF (276.12 KB)
Aiming to provide a short, accessible overview of 'good practice' in designing and implementing emergency supplementary feeding programmes (SFPs), this review seeks to highlight some hard-and- fast rules about how to design and implement emergency SFPs.

The review is aimed primarily at NGO, UN, and donor staff who are not specialists in nutrition and emergency feeding but who may, in the context of some future emergency, be involved in decisions about feeding programmes.
