Methods for the Evaluation of the Impact of Food and Nutrition Programmes David E. Sahn, Richard Lockwood, and Nevin S. Scrimshaw, Editors.   The United Nations University Press, Tokyo; 1984.
"The United Nations University agreed in early 1981 to take the lead, on behalf of the United Nations agencies represented on the Sub-committee on Nutrition of the UN Administrative Committee on Co-ordination, in convening a workshop to address the problem of how to evaluate the impact of supplementary feeding programmes targeted to vulnerable women, infants, and children. The original charge to those who prepared papers and participated in their review was to develop straightforward guidelines and procedures for evaluating programmes with nutritional goals. The objective of the workshop was to compile state-of-the-art knowledge, which could then be made available to planners and field workers involved in or contemplating the evaluation of the impact of food and nutrition programmes.
The first two chapters introduce the basic concepts for designing evaluations during programme implementation, and the stages of evaluation of ongoing programmes."
