This paper reports on a study to determine the efficacy and effectiveness of Emergency Supplementary Feeding Programmes (SFPs), conducted in 2005–2006 by Save the Children UK and the Emergency Nutrition Network. It begins with a short summary of the study, explaining its rationale, scope and methodology, and setting out the key characteristics of the emergency SFP interventions it investigated. The authors then explore the main findings of the study as they relate to impact at individual and population level. Finally, they set out the main conclusions arising from the research and discuss some of the implications for SFPs.
