Information Management Systems should inform the decision-making process whereby nutrition intervention priorities are based on objective criteria and sound judgments on available resources - human, material and financial.

Monitoring and Evaluation activities need to provide timely, relevant, accessible, high-quality information to improve program functioning by shifting the focus from inputs to results and creating accountability for performance.

Important resources, time and energy are often devoted to surveys and studies with little or no feed-back being given to the people who provided information in the first place. The Contact between interviewers and interviewees should be acknowledged as golden opportunity to communicate key messages on nutrition and health.
