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

Malawi has strong policies and frameworks for nutrition but insufficient funding to implement them.

Malawi is one of the most committed countries in Africa to improving nutrition, yet it still has one of the highest rates of malnutrition in the region and is struggling to turn commitments into action at scale.

Malawi has made significant progress in improving nutrition outcomes in the past decades. Despite this, the rates of stunting and anaemia remain high and overweight and obesity amongst women is rising.

A review of evidence was conducted to understand the trends and determinants of malnutrition and identify interventions and programmes that improved maternal and child nutrition in Malawi.

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.
