Considerable literature from low- and lower-middle-income countries (LLMICs) links maternal employment to child nutritional status.
This paper assesses the structure of Rwanda’s current and evolving agrifood system and its contribution to national development.
Food budget allocation efficiency: A missing component to help identify robust nutrition policies, with application to Rwanda
This paper presents two interrelated innovations to help identify diet-related nutrition policies.
From food price crisis to an equitable food system
Rwanda’s food systems transformation: A diagnostic of the public policy landscape shaping the transformation process
This paper provides a diagnostic of Rwanda’s food systems and the policy landscape that shapes it.
As Rwanda journeys towards a broad-based social and economic transformation, there are opportunities for the country’s food systems to become a key driver on that journey.
Using outcome trajectory evaluation to assess HarvestPlus’ contribution to the development of national biofortification breeding programs
While the key role that policy plays in sustainable development has long been recognized, rigorously documenting the influence of research on policy outcomes faces conceptual, empirical and even political challenges.
Rwanda has made remarkable progress in the past two decades, highlighted by rapid economic growth and sharp reductions in poverty.
Most farmers source sweetpotato vines from neighboring farmers or from cuttings taken from their own plots during the previous season.
Study on HarvestPlus' contribution to the development of national biofortification breeding programs
This evaluative review is one of a series of end-of-program studies being carried out by the CGIAR Research Program (CRP) on Agriculture for Nutrition and Health (A4NH) to document lessons from its achievements to inform future research and develo
The COVID-19 pandemic and the economic policy measures taken to prevent its spread led to a global recession in 2020 that was expected to cause significant increases in poverty and food insecurity in many countries.
This report is the final outcome of various knowledge products and training material, usually labelled as “printed eAtlas”, which have been developed and shared with Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) under the Voice for Change Partnership (V4CP)
Increased iron status during a feeding trial of iron-biofortified beans increases physical work efficiency in Rwandan women
Background
Iron-biofortified staple foods can improve iron status and resolve iron deficiency. However, whether improved iron status from iron biofortification can improve physical performance remains unclear.
Objective
Globally, undernutrition is related to almost half of the deaths in children younger than five years of age.
Understanding the context-specific causes of child malnutrition, including those related to political commitment and program and policy coherence, is essential for effectively reducing the prevalence of nutrition-related problems such as stunting
Despite significant progress, childhood stunting is still a serious public health concern in Rwanda.
Promoting rapid and sustained adoption of biofortified crops: What we learned from iron-biofortified bean delivery approaches in Rwanda
Micronutrient deficiencies, also known as hidden hunger, affect two billion people worldwide, curtailing their ability to lead healthy, productive lives.
Despite rapid population growth, increasing land pressure and urbanization, farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa have not intensified their production in a sustainable manner and farming systems remain predominantly subsistence-oriented.
