Improved coverage: lessons learned from the Coverage Monitoring Network (CMN)

The CMN was an inter-agency initiative established in 2012 in order to improve nutrition programmes through the promotion of quality coverage assessment tools, capacity building and information sharing. The CMN offered training and workshops on the various coverage methods,
as well as guidance on how to overcome the barriers identified. Furthermore, the CMN provided many online resources and toolkits to assist in the implementation of coverage assessments.
This document compiles the learning outcomes produced by the CMN team and by CMAM programmes supported in the nine priority countries for the CMN. It explores specific experiences on coverage of CMAM through case studies and best practices. It also gathers information from recommendations made to address identified barriers, and frames the findings within the Bottleneck Analysis approach.
