The Health and Community Development Section (HCDS) of the Division of Operational Support has compiled this Health, Food & Nutrition ToolKit to assist field-based actors to effectively co-ordinate, assess, plan, implement, monitor and evaluate quality food, health and nutrition programmes in refugee situations. These Tools are UNHCR checklists, formats, guidance materials and other reporting forms to assist programme management and co-ordination.

The Essential Reference Collection contains 35 published reference materials that have been chosen as key resources for use in refugee situations.

All tools and reference materials contained on this CD-Rom can be printed locally or requested in hardcopy (in limited numbers) from HCDS (e-mail: hqts00@unhcr.ch)
