ملخص
Specialized nutritious foods (SNF) are increasingly recognized as a viable and efficient component of programmes to supplement and prevent undernutrition. This publication has been produced to provide comprehensive guidance on the management of SNF. Its purpose is twofold: 1) to improve planning, procurement, and delivery of nutritious foods to beneficiaries; and 2) to maintain the nutritional quality of SNF by promoting optimal control during transport, storage, stock management and distribution. This guideline merges existing information on nutrition intervention planning, procurement, quality management and logistics. It will serve as an operational tool in the field, supporting staff from World Food Programme (WFP). However, it can also be used as reference for a wider humanitarian and development community, bearing in mind that some processes may reflect specific WFP corporate approaches. Each chapter presents guidance and ‘golden rules’ for practice at each stage of the supply chain.
