The Nutrition Embedding Evaluation Programme (NEEP) was a four-year project (Oct 2013–Oct 2017) led by PATH and funded by the UK Department for International Development. NEEP aimed to build the evidence base for what works in improving nutrition by conducting credible, robust evaluations of innovative interventions implemented by civil society organisations (CSOs). The programme provided grants to 18 CSOs to evaluate their programmes in 13 different countries. The grantees included:
- Action Against Hunger / ACF International in Burkina Faso
- Action Against Hunger / ACF International in Chad
- Action Against Hunger / ACF International in Nepal
- ACTED in Pakistan
- BRAC in Bangladesh
- Cameroon Baptist Convention Health Services in Cameroon
