compact of WHO guidance on nutrition interventions targeting the first 1000 days of life. Part I presents the interventions currently
recommended by WHO, summarizes the rationale and the evidence, and describes the actions require to implement them. Part II provides
an analysis of community-based interventions aimed at improving nutrition and indicates how effective interventions can be delivered in an
integrated fashion. It shows how the essential nutrition actions described in the first part have been implemented in large-scale
programmes in various settings, what the outcomes have been, and to examine the evidence for attribution of changes in nutritional
outcomes to programme activities. This summary of HSDP II is retrieved from the ENA Part II where HSDP II is one of 32 large-scale
community-based programs that has been reviewed in detail and evaluated.
