FAO provides strategic guidance to its Member States and their development partners on how to maximise the nutritional impact of food and agriculture policies, programmes, and investments.
The guidance provided capitalizes on scientific evidence and lessons learned through field experience, and is primarily targeted for professionals working in policy and programme formulation, in government, donor institutions (including agricultural development banks), Non-Governmental Organisations, civil society and academic or training institutions.
FAO also works closely with members of the Scaling Up Nutrition Movement to ensure food and agriculture issues are taken into consideration in methods and tools used for nutrition policies’ formulation, implementation and evaluation.
