The development and use of a monitoring and evaluation plan to track and understand how integrated infant feeding and responsive care and early learning interventions are going is critical to program success. USAID and USAID Advancing Nutrition curated this focused set of resources to inform and guide USAID implementing partners to design and implement more tailored, age-specific infant feeding and responsive care and early learning programming during the first two years of a child’s life. As part of the effort, we have compiled a few key resources for implementers to review and consider to support the monitoring and evaluation of responsive care and early learning activities, including resources to help identify and select indicators to use, measure those indicators, and provide programmatic examples of their use.
