8. Changes in Programming Different approaches Decision trees – to guide programming decisions as well as products Prevention of micronutrient deficiencies Cost benefit/cost effectiveness Improving M&E

9. MAM treatment – cost of individual treatment Commodity price (US$ / MT) Ration cost (US$/ration) Commodity cost of intervention (US$/ per person) US$ Ration/day 92 gr. 200 gr. 20 gr. Intervention duration 45 -60 days 60 days 90 days700 3’210 including oil and sugar 18.8 (60 days)
