Policy planning tools for nutrition and healthy diets

Overview

The World Health Organization (WHO) has developed a suite of tools to facilitate evidence-informed policy planning to promote healthy diets and improve nutrition.

These tools have been developed for policy-makers, programme managers and other interested stakeholders.  They can be used to:

• help assess and prioritize a country's nutrition problem;
• identify evidence-informed interventions;
• assess a country's readiness to accelerate actions;
• estimate impact, costs and other resource needs for taking action;
• learn best practices from other countries; and
• track progress against the global nutrition targets.
