Presents guidelines on how to measure the impact of supplementary feeding programmes on the nutritional status of vulnerable populations. The guidelines focus on the detecting the changes and advocate for recipients of the food aid to modify the scope and organisation of feeding programmes based on the measurements of the changes. The book suggests that among the factors to consider when choosing a method of evaluation one should observe age, weight, height as compared to standard figures, methods used in data collection and sampling, data analysis and interpretation, the implications of the findings and how the data has been illustrated.
