Respondent fatigue reduces dietary diversity scores reported from mobile phone surveys in Ethiopia during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Background: The computer-assisted telephone interview (CATI) has been used extensively during the COVID-19 pandemic, but the effects of respondent fatigue during these interviews on responses to questions about diet are unknown.
Background; Anemia and suboptimal gestational weight gain (GWG) are associated with adverse maternal and birth outcomes. Limited research indicates that balanced energy-protein (BEP) supplements reduce the incidence of inadequate GWG.
Background: Panel data indicates that non-pregnant women's dietary diversity fluctuates across climatic seasons in low- and middle income countries. The natural day-to-day variability in food group consumption during gestation is unknown.
Background: In many low- and middle-income countries, the prevalence of energy and nutrient deficiencies is high among pregnant women.

COVID-19-induced disruptions of school feeding services exacerbate food insecurity in Nigeria
These disruptions in educational and nutritional services have exacerbated households’ food insecurity in Nigeria.
Background: Simple proxy indicators are needed to assess and monitor micronutrient intake adequacy of vulnerable populations.
Little is known about the impact of food-assisted maternal and child health programs (FA-MCHN) on child wasting.

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
Tubaramure increased household food security and energy and micronutrient consumption, and maternal and child dietary diversity in Burundi.
Preschool-based nutrition-sensitive BCC intervention improved child nutrition in food-insecure Malawi.
Background: Evidence suggests that iron deficiency (ID) affects cognitive performance, as measured in behavior.
Child development is affected by multiple factors throughout pregnancy and childhood. Multisectoral programs addressing these factors may improve children's development.
Appropriate infant and young child feeding practices are critical for optimal child growth and development, but in Ethiopia, complementary feeding (CF) practices are very poor.
Food for education (FFE) programs that include school meals are widely used to improve school participation and performance, but evidence on nutritional benefits is limited.
A cluster randomized control trial to evaluate the impact of a large-scale school meals program in Ghana on school-age children reveals benefits for girls and children from poor households.
A platform to promote production and consumption diversity increases children's dietary intake and reduces stunting in Malawi: A cluster-randomized trial
We assessed the impact of Burundi's Tubaramure Food-assisted maternal and child health and nutrition (FA-MCHN) program on linear growth.
