Nutrition, Food Security and HIV: A Compendium of Promising Practices (2008)

Increasingly, countries in east, central, and southern Africa are integrating nutrition and food security interventions into HIV services. As the number, variety, and reach of these programs expand, identification and documentation of promising practices become increasingly valuable to help understand what works, to replicate successful approaches, and to incorporate lessons into programs. FANTA and the Regional Centre for Quality of Health Care (RCQHC) in Uganda organized extensive in-country reviews by local teams of nutrition, food security, and HIV programs in Kenya, Malawi, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia. This compendium presents a compilation, analysis, and description of the promising practices identified in these reviews.

The compendium was developed by RCQHC and FANTA with funding from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID)/East Africa and the USAID Bureau for Global Health Office of Health, Infectious Diseases, and Nutrition.
