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.
The Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Irrigation and Mechanization Systems (ILIMS), led by the University of Nebraska’s Daugherty Water for Food Global Institute (DWFI) (Nebraska-ILIMS), was fittingly launched at this year’s World Food Day with t
Characteristics of fruit and vegetable MSMEs in Ethiopia: Case of Addis Ababa and Ziway/Batu
This study documents the characteristics and functioning of fruit and vegetable (FV) value chains in select places in Ethiopia.
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.
Accounting for dietary deprivations in rural Africa: Poor households, poor farms or poor food environments?
Agricultural and food policies are increasingly asked to do more to improve the dietary quality of populations in lower and middle income countries (LMICs), especially severely malnourished rural populations.
Consumption of animal source foods, through livestock production, improves children's growth and micronutrient status. However, research on the relationship between livestock ownership and childhood anemia has produced conflicting results.
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.
The evidence on the potential for agricultural interventions to contribute to improved nutrition has grown considerably over the past decade.
Introducing small-scale irrigation can bring opportunities for empowerment and exclusion. To support equity and inclusion, projects must go beyond technology access alone.
Unlike large-acreage government irrigation schemes, small-scale irrigation is typically farmer led. Farmers decide what technologies to use to extract water, be it manual lifting or solar water pumps.
Food prices and the wages of the poor: A low-cost, high-value approach to high-frequency food security monitoring
International food prices have become increasingly volatile in recent decades, with “global food crises” in 2008, 2011 and most recently in 2022.
Background: Nutrition-sensitive agriculture is an effective multi-sectoral approach to address the underlying causes of malnutrition.
Development of the Ethiopian Healthy Eating Index (Et-HEI) and evaluation in women of reproductive age
Ethiopia announced its first food-based dietary guidelines (FBDGs) on 15 March 2022. The present study aims to develop and evaluate the Ethiopian Healthy Eating Index (Et-HEI) based on the FBDG.
The feasibility of implementing food-based dietary guidelines and food graphics in Ethiopia
This study aimed to test the acceptability, cultural appropriateness, consumers' understanding, and practicality of the Ethiopian food-based dietary guideline's messages, tips, and food graphics.
Adolescence is a critical period of physical and psychological development, especially for girls as poor nutrition can affect their well-being as well as the well-being of their children.
Ethiopia has made substantial efforts in the last three decades to increase agricultural productivity through modern input intensification and stimulate overall economic growth.
