This Handbook is aimed at WFP staff at all levels. It is also relevant for any of WFP’s partners in the field, including government, civil society organizations, international/non-governmental organizations and the private sector who have an interest in WFP’s field programming. It should serve as a reference, providing a better understanding of food and nutrition issues as they relate to WFP. The handbook aims to provide practical tools to tackle basic nutrition-related and context-specific tasks, as well as the ability to judge when specialized nutrition advice should be sought. Many of the references within this Handbook are universal; however, when they refer to internal WFP documents, partners should ask their WFP colleagues to access these documents from the internal WFP site.
