I am new to the field of community nutrition and am having difficulty finding the answer to my question. Any assistance or references would be appreciated. We have a small ambulatory child nutrition program. Our mothers participate every 15 days and are sent home with a dry ration supplement each visit. We need to approach the NGO providing our rations to see if we can have the calorie level increased. I have been looking for references/guidelines for the recommended amount of calories/protein to provide as a supplement for malnourished children under five to promote weight gain in ambulatory programs. Is there a standard? Where is the best place to look for this kind of information?
