This tool provides a reference guide and workbook to assist teams with implementing the nutrition assessment, counseling, and support strategy. It helps program planning teams select appropriate community-based nutrition approaches for specific target areas. The tool has two components: (1) a reference guide that provides guidance on analyzing the nutrition situation, identifying program approaches, and selecting a combination of approaches that best suits the situation, resources, and objectives; and (2) a workbook where the team records information, decisions, and decision-making rationale.
