Can gender- and nutrition-sensitive agricultural programs improve resilience? Medium-term impacts of an intervention in Bangladesh
There are few studies that rigorously assess how agricultural and nutrition related interventions enhance resilience and even fewer that incorporate a gendered dimension in their analysis.
Understanding intra-household food allocation rules: Evidence from a randomized social safety net intervention in Bangladesh
Household dairy production, dairy intake, and anthropometric outcomes in rural Bangladesh
We assess whether ownership of dairy cows is associated with a greater likelihood of consuming dairy products and with child anthropometric status in rural Bangladesh.
Including scalable nutrition interventions in a graduation model program: Experimental evidence from Ethiopia
We explore the impact of different models of scalable nutrition services embedded within a light-touch graduation program, implemented at scale in Ethiopia.
Do ultra-poor graduation programs build resilience against droughts? Evidence from rural Ethiopia
We study the role of a multifaceted ultra-poor graduation program in protecting household wellbeing and women’s welfare from the effects of localized droughts in Ethiopia.
Can a light-touch graduation model enhance livelihood outcomes? Evidence from Ethiopia
In recent years, a growing literature has examined the potential of multifaceted, intensive “graduation model” interventions that simultaneously address multiple barriers constraining households’ exit from poverty.
Poverty reduction and conservation of natural resources are both global goals for sustainable development. However, it is not well understood how interventions to reduce poverty impact coastal communities and the fisheries they depend upon.
Comparing delivery channels to promote nutrition-sensitive agriculture: A cluster-randomized controlled trial in Bangladesh
Ethnicity, information and cooperation: Evidence from a group-based nutrition intervention
Development programs often rely on locally hired agents for service delivery, especially for interventions promoting agricultural practices, health, and nutrition.
2022 annual report
IFPRI’s 2022 Annual Report presents highlights from our research work in low- and middle-income countries and on global challenges.
Nutrition-sensitive agriculture programmes have the potential to improve child nutrition outcomes, but livestock intensification may pose risks related to water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) conditions.
We conduct a synthetic review of the literature examining relationships between domains of women’s empowerment and food system outcomes.
The objective of this report is to present results from the baseline survey conducted as part of the Implementer-Led Evaluation and Learning (IMPEL) evaluation of SPIR II, a randomized controlled trial launched in 2022.
Understanding the types of food systems interventions that foster women's empowerment and the types of women that are able to benefit from different interventions is important for development policy.
Learning together: Experimental evidence on the impact of group-based nutrition interventions in rural Bihar
India accounts for a large proportion of the global prevalence of maternal and child undernutrition, and recent trends have renewed the call for large-scale concerted efforts to improve outcomes.
Cost and affordability of healthy diet (CoAHD) metrics developed in recent years have quickly become mainstream food security indicators among major development institutions, with the headline conclusion being that over 3 billion people worldwide
