Introduction:The Ministry of Health and Medical Education for the first time drafted and communicated the National Nutrition and Food Security Document in order to implement targeted programs. This study aims to evaluate the provincial nutrition and food security document and outline strategies to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of provincial document deployment at the organizational, inter-organizational and community level.
Methods: Documents received by the universities / colleges of medical sciences were classified for evaluation purposes. The studied dimentions consisted of the provincial document cut-off, the beneficiaries of the program, the establishment and implementation of the submitted documents. In the next step, self-declaration compliance assessment and scoring were performed.
Results: Out of 28 provincial documents (90%), 60% were documented, 21% provincial data were not used, and desirable measures were taken to attract stakeholders. No effective measures were taken to evaluate the results as the most important pillar of the document. Among 255 projects anticipated, 7 were documented and 6 were approved, and only 4 projects were submitted to the researchers, and for 5 projects had written
Conclusion: Despite the relatively favorable performance in most of the documented and targeted areas of the document at the national level, assessments show that this trend has not been very successful at the provincial level. This study clearly shows policy makers' lack of support for nutrition programs and poorly evaluates nutrition support.
