Caregivers require tangible (e.g., food, financial) and intangible resources to provide care to ensure child health, nutrition, and development. Intangible resources include beliefs and knowledge, education, self-efficacy, perceived physical health, mental health, healthy stress levels, social support, empowerment, equitable gender attitudes, safety and security, and time sufficiency. These intangible caregiver resources are included as intermediate outcomes in nutrition conceptual frameworks yet are rarely measured as part of maternal and child nutrition research or evaluations.

The study analyzed data from seven surveys with 24-hour open dietary recalls to evaluate: (1) the percentage of reported foods that were included in each sentinel food list; (2) whether these lists captured consumption of some food groups better than others and (3) differences between estimates of dietary diversity calculated from all food items mentioned in the open 24-hour recall vs. only food items included in the sentinel lists.

For young children experiencing an illness, adequate nutrition is critical for recovery and to prevent malnutrition, yet many children do not receive the recommended quantities of food during illness and recuperation. Our research applied a behavioral science lens to identify drivers of feeding behaviors, including barriers inhibiting caregivers from following the feeding guidelines.

USAID Advancing Nutrition partnered with Amalima Loko, a USAID Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance-funded Resilience Food Security Activity, to facilitate a participatory design process and to test transferable solutions to improve the quality of peer support groups using human-centered design. This brief shares prototypes and lessons learned from the process with Amalima Loko participants that may be useful to adapt to other contexts by implementers aiming to strengthen their own groups.
