The Effective Targeting Criteria for Nutrition Improvement for Children among Households in Kenya publication by the National Irrigation Programme Focus for Nutrition (NIFPN) presents a framework for targeting nutrition interventions among vulnerable households in Kenya.

The publication also emphasizes the importance of community participation and engagement in the targeting process, and highlights the need for monitoring and evaluation systems to track the effectiveness and impact of targeted interventions. The publication concludes by providing recommendations for integrating effective targeting criteria into nutrition programming in Kenya.
