Special Evaluation Study for Selected ADB Interventions on Nutrition and Food Fortification

This study explores the strengths and weaknesses of regional technical assistance (RETA) as a modality in addressing nutrition issues and initiatives. These RETAs were evaluated against their goals and objectives, and against the assessments and ratings of technical assistance completion reports.

In this electronic file, the report is followed by the Management response and the Board of Directors' Development Effectiveness Committee (DEC) Chair's summary of a discussion of the report by DEC.
