The PATH Nutrition Embedding Evaluation Programme (NEEP) is a four-year project funded by the UK Department for International Development. NEEP aims to address knowledge gaps on the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of maternal and child nutrition interventions and how they can be delivered at scale. To identify and prioritise evaluation activities that address evidence gaps, PATH conducted this analysis of gaps in research and evaluation investments in early 2014.
