Planning for WIC's Future Technology Needs :
A Report to Congress

This report responds to a Congressional mandate for the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) to establish a long-range plan for the development and implementation of State agency Information Systems (IS) in the WIC Program.  In the development of this plan, FNS reviewed State agency system capabilities and consulted with the National WIC Association as well as systems experts.  The WIC 5-Year Technology Plan included in this Report to Congress outlines the Agency’s goals, objectives, and strategies to address the current and future needs of WIC systems.
