Introduction Stunting or linear growth faltering, measured by length-for-age Z-score (LAZ), remains a significant public health challenge, particularly in rural low-income and middle-income countries.
Background
Inadequate food and water resources negatively affect child health and the efficiency of nutrition interventions.
Small-scale irrigation has significant potential to increase crop productivity in Mali, in particular given growing climate change impacts on the country and region.
Looking back at what has effectively improved nutrition may inform policy makers on how to accelerate progress to end all forms of malnutrition by 2030.
Given the lack of consensus around how to measure empowerment in WASH, mapping existing indicators to two frameworks frequently used in the empowerment literature illustrates knowledge gaps.
Food is the most important basic need for sustenance and survival, and the right to food is among the fundamental human rights.
Securing Food for All in Bangladesh presents an array of research that collectively addresses four broad issues: (1) agricultural technology adoption; (2) input use and agricultural productivity; (3) food security and output markets; and (4) pover
The importance of an enabling environment for effective nutrition advocacy is well-recognized, and several key elements of such an environment have been well-established in existing research.
Technology is the basis for sustainable agricultural growth. Enhanced agricultural productivity and growth depend, to a large extent, upon the widespread adoption of appropriate technologies by farmers.
Despite declining arable agricultural land, Bangladesh has made substantial progress in boosting domestic food production, improving access to food by increasing household income, and enhancing nutritional outcomes
Agricultural production in Bangladesh has undergone dramatic changes over the past several decades.
The concept of empowerment has steadily made its way onto the international development agenda. Batliwala (2007) traces its equivalents back several hundred years and across geographies in struggles for social justice.
Globally, malnutrition remains unacceptably high, and its burden falls disproportionately on women and girls.
This is the third round of the Bangladesh Integrated Household Survey (BIHS).
The Feed the Future Phase One Zone of Influence (ZOI) Endline Survey was implemented by IFPRI through Bangladesh Integrated Household Survey (BIHS) 2018-2019.
The purpose of the US Global Food Security Strategy (GFSS) 2018/2019 baseline survey in Bangladesh is to provide the U.S.
Good nutrition is integral to human well-being and to humanity’s ability to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Although health, development, and environment challenges are interconnected, evidence remains fractured across sectors due to methodological and conceptual differences in research and practice.
Eliminating malnutrition is on many countries’ political agendas but knowledge of how enabling environments are created and used is needed.
