Despite agreement that evaluation is integral to development programs, substantial diversity exists on the best methods of evaluating nutri- tion interventions. This report, based on the present practices of several multilateral, bilateral, and private donors, reviews these methods. The authors propose standardized evaluation terms and concepts for examining nutrition education, supplementary feeding, food fortification, multisectoral, and planning programs. Presented are two models of nutrition programming -- A.I.D.'s logframe, outlining a causal progression of events at the input, output, purpose, and goal levels; and the Nutrient Flow Model, depicting nutrition as a function of activities such as food production, trade, loss, and distribution. Linked to each of these models, respectively, are process and impact evaluations. For process evaluations (often conducted along with impact evaluations), information is collected on pre-existing indi- cators, project components, and intervening events in order to reveal nutritional improvements attributable to a program. Impact evalua- tions seek to determine improvements in overall nutritional status. Various impact evaluation design
