Antenatal care (ANC) is the largest health platform globally for delivering maternal nutrition interventions (MNIs) to pregnant women. Yet, large missed opportunities remain in nutrition service delivery.

Background: To address gaps in coverage and quality of nutrition services, Alive & Thrive (A&T) strengthened the delivery of maternal nutrition interventions through government antenatal care (ANC) services in Uttar Pradesh, India.

As many other countries, India leverages on a pre-existing workfare programme as a COVID-19 response. We combine monthly administrative data with migration and poverty statistics and provide four insights on the recent expansion of the programme.

Designing survey questions that clearly and precisely communicate the question's intent and elicit responses based on the intended interpretation is critical but often undervalued.

Introduction

The paper examines the potential of India’s Public Distribution System for introducing biofortified crops to address the challenges of micronutrient deficiencies in Bihar and Odisha, two of the country’s most poverty-stricken states.

Suboptimal dietary intake is a critical cause of poor maternal nutrition, with several adverse consequences both for mothers and for their children.

The links between longstanding conflict, insecurity, and poverty are well recognized. Can COVID-19 provide a bridge for peace and rapprochement?

India has been hard hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. In the context of a larger quasi-experimental impact assessment, we assess the pandemic’s effects on coping behavior in 80 villages spread across four districts and three states (n=772).

Lockdowns induced by COVID-19 have threatened food security in most developing countries.

A recent IFPRI blog pointed to the perils of COVID-19 ravaging rural areas in second and third waves.
