A system for evaluating the impact of the plan’s 138 interventions is being put in place. Mobile phones and new digital technologies are being used to help gather information on 58 indicators. Assessments will be made annually from 2012 to 2015 to demonstrate changes in the levels of malnutrition; anemia; provision and coverage of basic health services for children under five years of age and women of childbearing age; availability and access to nutritious foods; and household food security.
