The problem
Intervention: Creation of multisectoral nutrition (MSN) action teams comprising 3-4 officers from agriculture, community development, health, and education sectors to plan and implement community-based nutrition activities; supported by regional nutrition officers through mentoring and a Learning Exchange worksho
Who it was tested with: Nutrition officers in Regional Secretariats and District Councils in 5 regions of Tanzania; 27 officers interviewed.
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"Regional Nutrition Officers piloted action teams in their districts, supporting District Nutrition Officers to create teams of 3-4 officers from relevant sectors (agriculture, community development, health, education) to plan and implement community-based activities consistent with sector priorities and national policy. To learn from stakeholder experiences, longitudinal data were collected through individual semistructured interviews and documentation of activities; 27 officers were interviewed 1-4 times over 14 mo." This is a practitioner-focused qualitative study documenting implementation experiences and stakeholder learning without a comparison group or direct outcome measurements.
Qualitative study with small sample of officers in four districts; no comparison group; no measurement of child nutrition outcomes; outcomes documented through officer reports rather than independent verification; sustainability beyond the 14-month period not assessed.
