Priorities across teams include micronutrients, infant and young child feeding, healthy diets, and wasting prevention and management. Accomplishments include launching seven new country programs, convening experts to build consensus around progress in measuring nutrition, providing a platform to share learning and experience across countries, and partnering with local stakeholders to strengthen their capacity to sustain nutrition outcomes.

Through Feed the Future, the U.S. Government’s global hunger and food security initiative, USAID supports scientists to break down barriers to becoming leaders and role models in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. This gathering features four women scientists who lead by example and harness local solutions to end hunger. This is a webinar.

The plan outlines multi-sectoral interventions across health; food; education; water, sanitation, and hygiene; and social protection. It addresses root causes of the triple burden of malnutrition, calls for more funding to finance nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive interventions, prioritizes strengthening coordination mechanisms and continuous research and learning, and pushes for accountability for all involved in implementation. This is a webinar and is accompanied by a slide deck and webinar transcript.

Inadequate investments in nutrition policy development and research have inhibited the development of adolescent-responsive nutritional policies. This leaves the nutrition community without an integrated perspective on adolescent growth and development and the role that nutrition plays.
Multi-Sectoral Nutrition Resource Review
Effective interventions and policies for adolescent growth, nutrition, and development need to be multi-sectoral and supported by multi-faceted and multi-level policy, extending across education, health, food systems, social protection, and digital media. Data standardization and systems are essential to coordinate and monitor these responses. Resilient food systems need to ensure access to healthy and affordable foods and provide infrastructure and incentives for physical activity.
Multi-Sectoral Nutrition Resource Review
Using the household consumption and expenditure survey (HCES), researchers estimated household dietary nutrient supply to identify metrics reported and parameters used to construct these metrics. They summarized comparisons between estimates derived from the HCES and individual dietary assessment data and explored nutrient inadequacy in different demographic groups. Metrics included nutrient intake per adult-male equivalent, apparent nutrient intake per capita, and nutrient density. Nutrient intakes were generally overestimated.

The most appropriate ways to measure women’s agency remain understudied. Several policy briefs review gaps in measuring women’s control over assets, their goal setting and decision-making, and their sense of control and efficacy, and offer an action plan to bridge gaps.
