Please join the CORE Nutrition Working Group for a workshop on using the new Nutrition Program Design Assistant (NPDA): A Tool for Program Planners.
The NPDA is a tool to help program planning teams, including those designing USAID Child Survival and Health Grants Program (CSHGP) or Title II food security program proposals, design the nutrition component of their programs. The tool provides guidance on how to compare and contrast approaches and select the most appropriate combination of community-based nutrition approaches for their specific programming needs and geographic target areas.
What: A two-day TOT workshop in Washington, DC to prepare NGO HQ-based program managers and consultants to conduct program planning workshops at the country level, using the NPDA.
NPDA TOT Workshop Objectives
By the end of the workshop, participants will:
1. Have an in-depth understanding of the process for using the NPDA tool, key elements of importance within each step, and overall goal/objective of each step within the process.
2. Be able to describe and plan for:
a. the preparatory activities needed to be done prior to using the NPDA tool in a workshop / program design activity
b. the final stage in program design achieved through use of the NPDA tool and next steps likely for completing program design.
3. Have applied the NPDA tool using sample quantitative and qualitative data and building upon participants’ previous experiences in developing nutrition program proposals.
4. Have contributed additional ideas for participatory exercises, materials, etc., that can support use of the NPDA tool at the field level, drawing upon participants’ skills and previous experiences.
