The latest WFP Nutrition Policy (2012) describes the ‘1000 days’ importance, highlighting the fact that if under nutrition is addressed during the first 1000 days from conception up to 2 years children’s lives can be saved and they can grow healthily and to their fullest potential. As WFP operations and programmes meet over 90 million people’s caloric and nutrient needs, it’s crucial to understand nutrient intake as well as foods consumed. The FCS-N tool can act as a catalyst towards improved nutrition sensitive programming through highlighting nutrient inadequacies in households. It can also have an indirect impact on the lives of many more people by advocating for comprehensive solutions and supporting governments to develop strategies to overcome under nutrition.
