UNHCR guidance 2011 on products and micronutrients

Analysis on micronutrients and supplementation using products. The approach involves the use, amongst other interventions, of food supplementation products (FSP) including micronutrient powders (MNP) and lipid-based nutrient supplements (LNS).
Stage 1: defining the nutritional needs.
Stage 2: aid in the selection of a potential FSP intervention for the nutritional problem(s) identified in stage one.
Stage 3: identify any risks and precautions that need to be considered before commencing an FSP intervention.
Stage 4: test the acceptability of the selected FSP to potential beneficiaries and their adherence to the recommended dosage.
Stage 5: identify the key components that need to be in place or developed to ensure that the intervention is implemented effectively.
Stage 6: strong M&E should accompany any FSP intervention, particularly due to the new nature of the products being used, and this is documented.
