USAID Advancing Nutrition is holding a webinar to discuss the different strategies experts have to address gaps in nutrition services. Packages to address the gaps — planning and implementation guidance, training materials, and job aids \u2013 exist, but often are fragmented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
USAID Advancing Nutrition conducted a review of the most-used packages, to help governments and non-governmental organizations compare the content of program packages; combine, adapt, or harmonize them as needed; and, ultimately, to strengthen and expand nutrition-related services. During this webinar, speakers will share this package review, and dive deeper into the MAMI, IMAM, NACS and C-IYCF packages. They’ll take a look at how the packages have been adapted or adopted, how nutrition has been strengthened within the packages, and how these packages can be harmonized with country guidelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
