Multi-Sectoral Nutrition Resource Review
To support multi-sectoral nutrition, the resource collection provides tools for strategic planning, design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation, skill building and curricula, and learning and new evidence.
Multi-Sectoral Nutrition Resource Review
This web-based tool captures key learning from an exploration of local drivers of persistent acute malnutrition and design interventions based on evidence, local context, community strengths and assets, and feasibility for government scale-up. This interactive framework allows users to sort through evidence and systems-driven implementation to strengthen community and local government institutions.
Multi-Sectoral Nutrition Resource Review
Resources featured in this interactive web page include a framework to address persistent wasting, small-quantity lipid-based nutrient supplement program implementation, blanket supplementary feeding, treating moderate wasting with local foods, providing training for health workers, and strengthening wasting management and the ready-to-use therapeutic food supply chain, among other topics.
Multi-Sectoral Nutrition Resource Review
This researcher demonstrates how critical it is to develop common anemia measures for women in the postpartum period and promote rapid uptake and reporting.
Multi-Sectoral Nutrition Resource Review
In Burkina Faso, research on maternal and newborn body composition found that micronutrient-fortified balanced energy-protein supplementation during pregnancy can increase maternal and newborn fat-free mass index without a significant effect on fat-mass index.
USAID Nutrition Resource Hub
This brief presents some of the Strengthening Partnerships, Results, and Innovations in Nutrition Globally (SPRING) project's key learning about social and behavior change for nutrition between 2012 and 2017. SPRING hopes the information presented here will help the nutrition community to keep moving forward, catalyzing change at scale by empowering key populations and creating enabling policy, market, and social environments.
Multi-Sectoral Nutrition Resource Review
This research suggests persistently high rates of anemia could be partially related to overdiagnosis due to an inappropriately high hemoglobin diagnostic cut-off.
Multi-Sectoral Nutrition Resource Review
The Food Recognition Assistance and Nudging Insights (FRANI) AI–assisted dietary assessment accurately estimated nutrient intakes compared with weighed records. These estimates were at least as accurate as those collected through 24-hour recall. Further improvements in food recognition and portion estimation using FRANI could reduce errors and improve nutrient intake estimations.
Multi-Sectoral Nutrition Resource Review
Results of research from India, Tanzania, and Malawi showed that hospital-level guidelines and the provision of care for moderately low birthweight infants varied across and within countries. The study supports evidence-based planning of large-scale interventions. Multi-site partnerships in global health research are critical to avoid duplication and build a stronger evidence base.
Multi-Sectoral Nutrition Resource Review
Studies reviewed indicate mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) is used as part of nutritional assessments on children with disabilities, but measurement methods, references, and cut-offs were inconsistent. Speed, simplicity, and ease of use make MUAC useful for implementers. However, further research is needed to understand how well it identifies malnutrition in nutritionally high-risk children compared with other measures.
