Description
Summary:This study aimed to shed light on whether it is possible to work multisectorally in nutrition and if so, how. Despite the importance of this question, we know of no comparative studies in the past 20 years that have looked at this question in depth. Much of the discussion at the international level has revolved around judgments made in an academic debate two decades ago or is based on shared personal experiences. Much in the operational environment has changed, even as the common wisdom has not. Those working at the country level have forged ahead with multisectoral ideas and methods.
