A primer for Decision-Makers
The paper’s target audience comprises principally the
users of nutritional data, who include the wide array of
decision-makers in stakeholder institutions. These
decision-makers include programme and project
managers, humanitarian officers or managers, technical
programme or policy advisers and consultants, and early
warning and other information analysts, including experts
in evaluation and monitoring. Many epidemiologists and
nutritionists lack humanitarian experience or training, and
this paper will be relevant to them too. Increasingly,
academic institutions are including humanitarian studies
within their curricula, and this paper will also hopefully
provide a primer for the humanitarian professionals of
tomorrow.
