USAID Advancing Nutrition, November 2022
Improving competencies among health professionals, ensuring inclusion in social protection and food supplementation program eligibility criteria, revising guidelines and care protocols, and ensuring that disability-inclusive nutrition programs are included in government- and donor-funded guidance documents are critical to improving nutrition among children with feeding difficulties and disabilities. Additional recommendations include disaggregating data by disability in routine information systems, including functioning assessments in national surveys, and monitoring children’s development through their access to health services.
