Understanding the drivers of improvements in child undernutrition at only the national level can mask subnational differences.

The Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Irrigation and Mechanization Systems (ILIMS), led by the University of Nebraska’s Daugherty Water for Food Global Institute (DWFI) (Nebraska-ILIMS), was fittingly launched at this year’s World Food Day with t

Considerable literature from low- and lower-middle-income countries (LLMICs) links maternal employment to child nutritional status.

This paper presents two interrelated innovations to help identify diet-related nutrition policies.

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.

Understanding how countries improve children’s nutrition can inform policies and contribute to further improvements.

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.

An impact assessment (IA) study was conducted in Rwanda in 2015 to determine the adoption and diffusion rates of high iron beans (HIB) varieties after eight seasons of active dissemination; understand HIB adoption and diffusion patterns across var

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)

Biofortification is a promising approach to increase micronutrient intakes, especially among populations that are hard to reach with other interventions.

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.

Eliminating malnutrition is on many countries’ political agendas but knowledge of how enabling environments are created and used is needed.
