Action Against Hunger International Network (ACF) recently commissioned a review of their 'integrated' nutrition programming with the following aims:nnTo review ACF's present practices and policies in relation to implementing integrated approaches to treat and prevent acute malnutrition with a specific focus on evidence for successful integrated programmes.nTo assess whether and how monitoring and evaluation tools could be strengthened to provide a greater understanding of the processes and outcomes of integrated programmes.nTo identify and analyse opportunities and constraints to having integrated programmes, including funding and partnerships with other agencies.nTo recommend practical steps to improve the implementation of integrated approaches to programmes.nTo provide support to ACF's efforts to promote an integrated approach to programmes.nnThe process of the review involved reading background documents, meeting staff of ACF UK, ACF France and ACF Spain, visits to review specific programmes that were considered by ACF to be integrated (Mali, Zimbabwe, Indonesia and Myanmar) and interviews by telephone or in person with key staff to review specific programmes (Kenya, South Sudan, Bangladesh, Niger and Darfur). Staff from key ACF donor organisations were also interviewed, i.e. Europaid, European Commission's Humanitarian Office (ECHO), Spanish Aid and the US Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA).
