Multi-Sectoral Nutrition Resource Review
This study presents a methodology to generate indicators that help measure the impact of capacity strengthening efforts on performance and resilience. Indicators identified for further development include the percentage of targeted actors who use constituent feedback to improve program reach, coverage, or effectiveness; and who modify programs to reflect prevailing social norms, values, beliefs, and practices.

Development agencies can use several approaches to shift responsibility, accountability, and decision-making power to local government officials, civil society, and entrepreneurs. Findings suggest projects with the highest levels of stakeholder engagement include strong local ownership. The greatest threat to sustainability is the lack of a clear plan to secure resources beyond donor funding.

There is a strong association between women’s empowerment and early child cognitive development, child growth, early learning, and nutrition outcomes. Authors call for future research to explore the relationship between empowerment and socioemotional, literacy–numeracy, or physical development.

Videos were as effective as face-to-face counseling when community health workers (CHWs) used them to replace a portion of that counseling. mHealth video interventions could be a feasible and practical solution to support the delivery and scaling of community health promotion services when the CHW workforce is limited.

Maternal height, good nourishment, mental well-being, decision-making, support in chores, and perceived social support were associated with child health and development outcomes. Interventions that help to improve resources among mothers have the potential to foster child growth and development.

The Children’s Climate Risk Index measures the likelihood that climate and environmental shocks or stresses will lead to the erosion of development progress, the deepening of deprivation, and humanitarian crises affecting children or vulnerable households and groups. The document is available in Arabic, English, French, and Spanish. The executive summary is available in Hausa, Portuguese, Somali, Swahili, and Yoruba.

It is critical for doctors, families, policymakers, and researchers to work together to support early diagnosis and intervention for children with developmental disabilities. Panels focused on autism, hearing loss, and cerebral palsy, but issues discussed are common to many types of disabilities, especially for patients and caregivers in low- and middle-income countries, where supports and services are often limited. This is a webinar.
Multi-Sectoral Nutrition Resource Review
Fish and other aquatic foods (“blue foods”) can contribute to more sustainable diets, but comprehensive comparisons are limited because these foods are rarely included in environmental impact studies. The analysis identifies high-performing blue foods, highlights opportunities to improve environmental performance, and provides estimates to enable data-poor environmental assessments.
