Food-based dietary guidelines (FBDG) need to be evidence-based. As part of the development of Ethiopian FBDG, we conducted an umbrella review to develop dietary recommendations.

Background

Over the last 2 decades, many African countries have undergone dietary and nutrition transitions fueled by globalization, rapid urbanization, and development.

Background: Women's self-help groups (SHGs) have become one of the largest institutional platforms serving the poor.

Background: Anemia and poor physical growth during adolescence have far-ranging consequences, but limited longitudinal evidence exists on how changes in these factors relate to changes in learning skills as adolescents mature.

Background: SELEVER is a nutrition- and gender-sensitive poultry value chain project designed and implemented by international NGO Tanager which consists of poultry market facilitation and behavior change activities aiming at increasing poultry pr

Background: Meta-analyses show that small-quantity lipid-based nutrient supplements (SQ-LNSs) reduce child stunting and wasting. Identification of subgroups who benefit most from SQ-LNSs may facilitate program design.

 A systematic review and assessment of nutrition and health pathways that evaluate the impacts of social assistance programs on outcomes in low- and middle-income countries.

Background: Small-quantity lipid-based nutrient supplements (SQ-LNSs) have been shown to reduce the prevalence of child anemia and iron deficiency, but effects on other micronutrients are less well known.

Objectives: Limited evidence exists on longitudinal impacts of undernutrition on learning skills as adolescents mature. This study aimed to examine the effect of undernutrition in early adolescence on learning skills in late adolescence.

Objectives: 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.

Objectives: The Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has profound negative impacts on people's lives, but little is known on the effect of COVID-19 on household food insecurity (HFI) in poor setting resources.

Objectives: Home to one in five adolescents globally and a tradition of marrying young, India faces a huge challenge of teenage births.

Objectives: The COVID-19 pandemic is expected to have extensive effects on healthcare systems.

Objectives: Little is known about how the COVID-19 pandemic (C19) has affected food security and farmers’ livelihoods in Sri Lanka.

Objectives: The COVID-19 pandemic has significant potential implications for health systems, but little primary evidence is available on effects on health and nutrition services.

Objectives: Women's self-help groups (SHGs), which operate at large scale in India, are an important platform for delivering behaviour change communication (BCC) and social support interventions to rural women.

Objectives: Modeling studies have estimated impacts of potential service delivery disruptions due to COVID-19 pandemic on maternal and child nutrition outcomes, but little is known about actual delivery status.

Objectives: Women's self-help groups (SHGs) have become one of the world's largest institutional platforms of the poor, reaching over 70 million Indian women in 2020.

Research finds that child linear growth during and after the first 1000 days is positively associated with intellectual functioning and mental health in school-age children in Vietnam.
