| Summary: | The World Bank has not yet defined the
main issues in management and capacity development in
nutrition, nor has it developed methodologies for
governments and project staff to identify and deal with
these issues and systematically improve capacity. This
issues paper is intended as a starting-point for developing
the Bank's professional capacity in nutrition
management and capacity development. It discusses a dozen
sets of issues related to the design and implementation of
community nutrition programs: community empowerment and
decentralization; staffing and job design; supervision,
training and referral; program monitoring and evaluation;
sectoral capacity analysis and strategy development;
building understanding, commitment and behavioral change;
managing the nutrition sector; managing nutrition program
support organizations; tools for institutional analysis and
capacity development; building technical assistance
capacity; improving donor cooperation; and improving
coordination across sectors. As a follow-up, it suggests
priorities for a work program in management and capacity
development in nutrition, including: preparing case studies
of successful nutrition programs; preparing best-practice
nutrition projects with strong emphasis on capacity
development; creating groups to focus on management and
capacity development in key institutions dealing with
nutrition; creating networks between nutrition institutions
to share experience in this area. |
