Background: In response to the high levels of maternal nutrition in Uttar Pradesh, Alive & Thrive (A&T) aimed to strengthen the delivery of nutrition interventions through the government antenatal care platform, including leveraging ongoin

While there is growing evidence on the role of preconception nutrition for birth outcomes, very few studies have evaluated the effects of nutrition interventions during the preconception period on child development.

Background: Healthy diets can help reduce undernutrition, morbidity, and mortality. However, evidence on the accessibility and affordability of recommended diets is limited, particularly in poor-resource settings including India.

Despite much nutrition research conducted in Ethiopia, none has described existing opportunities for synergy or possible missed opportunities to use research to inform policy and program decisions to foster accelerated progress.

Frontline workers (FLWs) deliver essential nutrition services to reduce maternal undernutrition in India, but coverage and quality remain sub-optimal.

Interventions to improve maternal nutrition are poorly integrated into antenatal care (ANC) services in India.

Global attention to reducing childhood stunting has increased the demand for guidance on translating policies into impact.

Administrative Data (AD) are a key component of nutrition data systems, but little is known about how AD are used or can be reshaped for accountability and action.

Implementation research can support iterative program improvement, yet limited examples of such dynamic experiences exist.

Bangladesh's National Nutrition Services aims to deliver nutrition services to pregnant women and children through the primary health care system.

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

High coverage of any antenatal care (ANC) and near-universal coverage of iron-folic acid (IFA) supplementation is reported by nationally representative surveys in Burkina Faso.

The WHO recommends Essential Nutrition Actions (ENAs) throughout the life course to tackle malnutrition in all its forms.

Most nutrition interventions can be delivered through health systems. However, the progress to scale up effective nutrition interventions and achieve universal health coverage has not been uniform.

Poor diets are a major challenge in India. Barriers to improving diets include limited knowledge, access to resources and availability of affordable nutritious foods.

Adolescent pregnancy is a major global concern due to its adverse effects on maternal and child health and wellbeing. Bangladesh has one of the highest rates of adolescent pregnancy globally.

Growth monitoring (GM) and promotion is a routine part of primary healthcare for children in >80% of countries.

In Ethiopia, where 40% of the population is under 15 years, evidence on adolescent nutrition is limited. We examined the dietary diversity and its determinants among in-school adolescent girls in 2 regions in southern Ethiopia.

Men have largely been ignored in anemia-focused research and policies. We sought to examine trends, geographic variability, and predictors of anemia in Indian men between 2005 and 2016.

South Asia carries the largest burden of malnutrition globally. Tracking coverage of nutrition interventions is a critical step in designing effective nutrition policies and monitoring progress in the region.
