Standardised training package on SMART methodology released by ACF Canada

Action Contre la Faim (ACF) Canada, with the support of the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) of the Global Nutrition Cluster, has released the English version of the SMART Methodology Standardised Training Package (STP).

The STP hopes to provide future survey teams with a standardised means of preparing themselves on how to use SMART. With some 400 persons trained in over 20 countries by ACF Canada, participant feedback has been used to design a comprehensive and robust tool that can be applied in different contexts for persons with varying levels of competency. The STP has incorporated the recent (Version 2) methodological advancements in SMART and also contains easy-to-follow presentations, simple exercises, trainer's tips, videos as well as helpful assessment tools to complement the training experience.
