6. Genesis of This Project
Micronutrient Forum (May 2009)
• From Evidence to Large Scale Programs
The Innocenti Process (Sept 2008)
• Country implementers, donors, researchers
• Review of evidence for effectiveness at scale
• Identification of overarching issues needing attention
Country implementers requested stronger
guidance on identifying and resolving
implementation bottlenecks

22. Next Steps for the PAG
Produce additional versions for:
• More complex interventions (ag, livelihood, social protection, etc)
• Integrated (multi-intervention) programs
• Sub-national planning (district, project level)
• Diverse countries
Partner with NGOs to gain experience applying the PAG
in the above contexts
Develop and field test the Adoption Guide, Facilitators
Guide and Workshop Planning Guide
Develop and fiedld test training & coaching approaches
24. An Example
Breastfeeding BCC programs often improve EBF rates by a
modest amount, e.g., 20% at baseline to 40% at endline.
