In 2008, the Nutrition Working Group hosted two Technical Advisory Group (TAG) meetings to guide the development of a tool to improve the design of the nutrition component of Child Survival and Title II programs. The Nutrition Pathways Decision Tool has been extensively reviewed by members and partners and field-tested in Malawi with seven organizations as part of a multi-organization proposal for Title II programming. 

The Nutrition Working Group also hosted several technical updates over the last year on topics including: recent advances in understanding the long term consequences of improving pre-school nutrition for human capital formation and economic productivity; a review of member program experiences to date in child nutrition, with a focus on exclusive breastfeeding to improve child nutrition; and building effective collaboration for improving breastfeeding practices.
