Sumario: | "This book argues that assessing and strengthening country commitment should become a new field of systematic professional practice. This new field requires expertise in political and policy analysis, organizational behavior, and strategic communication." "Focusing on a variety of country programs in nutrition - both successful and failed - the book describes practical ways to assess and strengthen commitment and outlines an agenda for "learning by doing." In addition to political will, programs need to build support and commitment across government and civil society, from local leader to parents. To sustain that commitment, organizational structures and processes must be designed to motivate communities and officials over the 15 to 20 years it takes to successfully implement a national nutritional program." "This book will especially appeal to those in the fields of nutrition, public health, community and economic development, and political science."--Jacket |
