Tech RRT provides tailored support to individual organisations for nutrition assessments  

Does your organization need help conducting nutrition assessments or want to increase the capacity of your staff to undertake them? Need help doing it?

Feel free to get in touch with the Tech RRT – we provide technical support to individual agencies (as well as to the collective, if needed).

    • Design and prepare for the assessment, including: initial planning, selecting tools and methods, writing survey guidelines, sampling, determining survey timeline, designing survey budget and planning logistics, including any special tools and equipment needed.
    • Collect background and demographic information before the assessment/survey.

    • Draft the survey report and support the finalisation of the report
