In 2014, the WFP Policy, Programme, and Innovation Division initiated a project to support Regional Bureaux and Country Offices in knowledge sharing through the documentation of a series of technical case studies in nutrition programming. The project was in response to numerous requests from programme and nutrition officers for examples of how WFP has implemented nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive interventions. The first phase of the project highlighted flour fortification in Egypt, local production of specialized nutritious food in Pakistan, nutrition-sensitive interventions in Ecuador and the Dominican Republic, and scaling-up nutrition interventions in Niger and Malawi. WFP headquarters sent officers to each of the countries to interview stakeholders, review programming documents, and visit implementation sites. The nutrition programmes were then summarized into these case studies, which focus on key success factors and lessons learned to date from each of the experiences. The project also developed a template and guidance for writing technical case studies in order to facilitate further documentation of other experiences. The goal in sharing these case studies is to commend the hard work and successes of WFP Country Offices, and to leverage the experiences to support nutrition programming globally.
