Background

Child undernutrition is a persistent challenge in arid and semi-arid areas due to low and erratic rainfall, recurrent droughts and food insecurity.

Providing emergency care in low resource settings relies on delivery by lower cadres of health workers (LCHW).

Absenteeism by doctors in public healthcare facilities in rural Bangladesh is a form of chronic rule-breaking and is recognised as a critical problem by the government.

For decades, in-person data collection has been the standard modality for nationally and sub-nationally representative socio-economic survey data in low- and middle-income countries.

There is a growing literature documenting the link between parental migration and children’s health. However, few studies have explained the underlying mechanism of this observed relationship.

This study investigated the trait preferences for cassava in the context of climate change and conflict stressors among value-chain actors in Nigeria to strengthen social inclusion and the community-resilience outcomes from breeding programs.

Fortified balanced energy–protein (BEP) supplementation is a promising intervention for improving maternal health, birth outcomes and infant growth in low- and middle-income countries.

This study examines malnutrition’s triple burden, including anaemia, overweight, and stunting, among children aged 6–59 months.

Background

This paper investigates the associations between agricultural diversification and dietary diversity among men, women and children of farm households in Bangladesh.

Research has shown mixed findings on the link between production diversity and household dietary diversity. The question is whether this link holds for children.

Antenatal care (ANC) is an opportunity to receive interventions that can prevent low birth weight (LBW).

Background

The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected vulnerable populations.

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) account for the largest share of the global disease burden, and increasing evidence shows that zinc deficiency (ZD) contributes to NCDs by inducing oxidative stress, insulin resistance, and impaired lipid metabolis

Conflicts such as the Boko Haram insurgency, herder–farmer conflicts, and armed banditry attacks are major concerns affecting the livelihoods and food security of households in Nigeria.

Optimal nutrition is crucial during the critical period of the first 1,000 days from conception to 2 years after birth.

Local value-addition in developing countries is often aimed at for upgrading of agricultural value chains, since it is assumed that doing so will make farmers better off.

Acid soils are a major constraint to agricultural productivity in many parts of sub-Saharan Africa, including Ethiopia.
