Mapping and Nutrient Profiles of Commercially Produced Complementary Foods in West Africa
Commercially produced complementary foods (CPCFs) are increasingly preferred over home-prepared foods but do not always comply with international recommendations. The aim of this study was to evaluate the compliance of CPCFs sold in West Africa with the World Health Organization (WHO) European Nutritional and Promotional Profile Model (NPPM). The study was conducted from August to October 2023 and covered 315 outlets in Benin, Mali, Mauritania, N…
Cost-effectiveness analysis of vitamin A supplementation delivery modalities in the DRC, Togo, and Niger
This study examines how the costs, health impacts, and efficiency of two-dose vitamin A supplementation (VAS) vary across delivery platforms, population subgroups, and delivery contexts in Togo, Niger, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Using a scenario-based model, it compares provider costs and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) averted and identifies reallocations that maximize health gains under fixed budget constraints. Cost…
Potential Impact of Large‐Scale Food Fortification in Ethiopia
Large-scale food fortification (LSFF) is an effective public health measure because it may reach a large number of populations at risk using current food delivery systems. The objective of the study was to assess coverage and consumption of fortifiable foods at the household level and to assess the potential impact of LSFF on child outcomes (stunting and survival) in Ethiopia. Cross-sectional survey data on sociodemographic characteristics, dieta…
Co‐Coverage of Essential Interventions Across the Health System Continuum of Care for Improving Child Nutrition in Ethiopia
This study aimed to assess the coverage of essential nutrition interventions delivered through the health system and explored the relationship between co-coverage and child- and maternal-level factors, household-level factors, and access to healthcare facilities. We used data from the Ethiopia Food and Nutrition Strategy Baseline Survey, a population-based cross-sectional study conducted between July 2021 and October 2022. The survey was conducte…
Measuring child food poverty
Objective: The aim of this study is to analyse complementary feeding practices, to assess the extent to which minimum dietary diversity (MDD) recommendations are being met in the population studied and to study factors that influence the achievement of MDD. Design: We pooled individual level data form the Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) and Multi Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS). We apply methods from poverty measurement to identify individu…
Subnational mapping of anaemia and aetiologic factors in the West and Central African region
Objectives: Despite bold commitments to reduce anaemia, little change in prevalence was observed over the past decade. We aimed to generate subnational maps of anaemia among women of reproductive age (WRA), malaria transmission and hemoglobinopathies to identify priority areas but also explore their geographical overlap. Design: Using the most recent Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS), we first mapped anaemia clusters across sub-Saharan Africa …
Estimating the minimal cost of delivering nutrition‐specific and nutrition‐sensitive interventions in Ethiopia
The Ethiopia Food and Nutrition Strategy (FNS 2021-2030) aims to provide evidence-based, nutrition-specific, and sensitive interventions to address malnutrition. A costing exercise was done to estimate the minimum financing needed to implement nutrition interventions for the ten-year FNS, and further analysis was made to estimate the investment required to implement the prioritised recommended Lancet series interventions for 10 years. Activity-ba…
Effect of a simplified approach on recovery of children 6–59 months with wasting in Ethiopia
Worldwide, nearly 45 million children under the age of 5 years were affected by wasting in 2022. Ethiopia has been challenged by disasters increasing the caseload of children with wasting. This study aimed to determine the effect of a simplified approach on recovery of children with acute malnutrition as compared with the standard protocol. A cluster randomized, controlled, noninferiority trial was carried out in three regions of Ethiopia from De…
The influence of adolescents' nutrition knowledge and school food environment on adolescents' dietary behaviors in urban Ethiopia
Adolescence is a critical period of physical, cognitive, and social development that needs to be supported with healthy diets. Dietary behaviours of adolescents can be shaped by their nutrition-literacy and their interaction with parents and peers as well as their school food environment. Therefore, the present study aimed to assess factors that influence dietary behaviours of adolescents in urban Ethiopia. Sex-disaggregated, focused group discus…
Associations between dental caries and ponderal growth in children
Background: The evidence around the relationship between Early Childhood Caries (ECC) and undernutrition is sparse and mostly reported from cross-sectional data sets. This paper aimed to test the relationship between ECC and linear and ponderal growth trajectories. Methods: This project involves secondary data analysis from the Cambodia Longitudinal Health and Nutrition Study. The analytical sample included a 2y-cohort of 894 children who were yo…
Evaluating the coverage and quality of nutrition programs via a bottom‐up approach
Over the last two decades, great efforts and investments have been made in Ethiopia to ensure that all children have equal access to nutrition services in health facilities. While quality health systems are a prerequisite for quality nutrition services, little attention has been given to the evaluation of the supply and delivery services. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the coverage and quality of the nutrition-specific interventions del…
Estimating the number of deaths averted from 2008 to 2020 within the Ethiopian CMAM programme
The management of wasting in Ethiopia is heavily reliant on the Community-based Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) programme that has been implemented in more than 18,000 service delivery points scattered across the country. Despite the full-scale implementation of the CMAM, the number of child death averted, and the cost per child death averted remains unknown. This study aimed to estimate the cost and the number of child death averted by t…
Complementary feeding and food‐group level inequality among Ethiopian children 6–23 months of age (2011–2019)
Ensuring diet quality in the first 2 years of life is critical to preventing malnutrition and instilling healthy food preferences. Children's diet quality has changed little over time and inequalities by socioeconomic status, rural-urban residence, but also by food group may exist. Using data from the 2011, 2016 and 2019 demographic and health surveys (DHS), we estimated the prevalence and inequalities in the minimum diet diversity (MDD), minimum…
Magnitude, trends and drivers of the coexistence of maternal overweight/obesity and childhood undernutrition in Ethiopia
Ethiopia faces a rising problem of overweight and obesity alongside a high prevalence of undernutrition; a double burden of malnutrition (DBM). This study aimed to quantify the magnitude and trends of household-level DBM-defined as the coexistence of maternal overweight/obesity and child undernutrition (i.e., stunting or anaemia)-in Ethiopia between 2005, 2011 and 2016 and understand the potential drivers influencing DBM and the change in DBM ove…
Drivers of change in weight‐for‐height among children under 5 years of age in Ethiopia
The prevention of wasting should be a public health priority as the global burden of acute malnutrition is still high. Gaps still exist in our understanding of context-specific risk factors and interventions that can be implemented to prevent acute malnutrition. We used data from the four rounds of the Ethiopia Demographic and Health Survey (2000-2016) to identify risk factors that have contributed to the change in weight-for-height z-score (WHZ)…
Co‐coverage of reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health interventions shows wide inequalities and is associated with child nutritional outcomes in Ethiopia (2005–2019)
The health system is the primary vehicle for the delivery of nutrition-specific interventions that aim to reduce maternal and child malnutrition. The integration of nutrition interventions into existing health interventions is promising, but to ensure that no one is left behind requires that access to essential health services is equitably distributed. This study aims to assess trends and socioeconomic inequalities in coverage of reproductive, ma…
Child feeding practices in rural Ethiopia show increasing consumption of unhealthy foods
The quality of complementary feeding can have both short- and long-term health impacts by delaying or promoting child growth and establishing taste preferences and feeding behaviours. We aimed to assess the healthy and unhealthy feeding practices of infants and young children in rural Ethiopia. We conducted two rounds of surveys in December 2017/18 in Habru district, North Wello, rural Ethiopia among caregivers of infants and young children (N = …
Subnational mapping for targeting anaemia prevention in women of reproductive age in Ethiopia
Anaemia in women of reproductive age (WRA) can be effectively addressed if supported by a better understanding of the spatial variations, magnitude, severity and distribution of anaemia. This study aimed to map the subnational spatial distribution of anaemia (any, moderate and severe forms) among WRA in Ethiopia. We identified and mapped (any, moderate and severe) anaemia hotspots in WRA (n = 14,923) at the subnational level and identified risk f…
Whole egg powder makes nutritious diet more affordable for Ethiopia
Despite sustained nutrition education, consumption of animal source foods (ASFs) has been hindered by their low availability, accessibility and affordability. Drying eggs into powder can reduce transport/storage costs, increase shelf-life and allow easier dosage for use of smaller portions. This study aimed to evaluate the contribution of integrating egg powder to the nutrient adequacy and affordability of diets. Using the 'cost of the diet' anal…
Understanding delays in the introduction of complementary foods in rural Ethiopia
Age-appropriate breastfeeding and introduction to complementary foods can shape child feeding practices, ensure adequate energy and nutrient intake and prevent linear growth faltering. This study aimed to assess mothers' and health workers' knowledge of timely introduction to complementary foods and evaluate the relationship between delays in complementary feeding and subsequent linear growth. We conducted two rounds of surveys (March/August 2017…
Child growth faltering dynamics in food insecure districts in rural Ethiopia
Child undernutrition disproportionally affects children in low- and middle-income countries. In Ethiopia, both wasting and stunting are serious public health concerns, with high human and economic costs. Understanding the dynamics in ponderal and linear growth faltering is critical to inform the design of innovative interventions that can prevent both wasting and stunting in poor and complex settings. Using two longitudinal studies conducted in 2…
Empowering women can improve child dietary diversity in Ethiopia
Women empowerment is an underlying factor of child feeding and nutrition. However, the lack of standardized measurements has made it difficult to design interventions that embed women empowerment and measure their impacts. This study aimed to assess temporal trends in women empowerment in Ethiopia and evaluate their contribution towards improving dietary diversity in infants and young children. We used women and child data from the Ethiopian Demo…

One in three Cambodian children under 5 years of age are stunted. This study adopted a multidimensional approach to understand the influence of a series of contextual factors on the nutritional status of Cambodian children. In this study, we use a multidimensional poverty framework to identify a combination of interventions likely to achieve reductions in child stunting, in Cambodia. We used the UNICEF Multiple Overlapping Deprivation Analysis to…
Reducing malnutrition in Cambodia. A modeling exercise to prioritize multisectoral interventions
Undernutrition is a major contributor to child morbidity and mortality and poses a large burden to the economy, in Cambodia. This study explored factors contributing to child stunting and wasting and their regional inequalities among 1,938 Cambodian children aged 6-23.9 months. Data were drawn from a longitudinal study (year 2017) conducted in six districts of two north-eastern provinces and the capital and used as cross-sectional. Socio-demograp…
Universal Salt Iodisation
Iodine deficiency is the leading cause of preventable intellectual disability in the world, but it has been successfully prevented in most countries through universal salt iodization (USI). In 2011, Cambodia appeared to be an example of this success story, but today, Cambodian women and children are once again iodine deficient. In 2011, Cambodia demonstrated high-household coverage of adequately iodized salt and had achieved virtual elimination o…

Acceptability of locally‐produced Ready‐to‐Use Supplementary Food (Rusf) for children under two years in Cambodia
In Cambodia, existing food products for treating or preventing undernutrition have met with limited success. Therefore, in 2014, alternative ready-to-use foods were developed. This trial aimed to assess the acceptability of the novel ready-to-use supplementary food (RUSF) as a snack or mixed with borbor (white rice porridge), compared with corn-soy blend plus plus (CSB++) and borbor fortified with micronutrient powder (MNP). The nonblinded, rando…
Effectiveness of a locally produced ready‐to‐use supplementary food in preventing growth faltering for children under 2 years in Cambodia
This cluster randomised controlled trial tested the effectiveness of a locally produced, fish-based, ready-to-use supplementary food (RUSF) to prevent growth faltering (decline in z-scores). Cambodian infants (n= 485), aged 6 to 11 months, were randomised by site to receive the RUSF, Corn-Soy Blend++ (CSB++), micronutrient powders (MNP), or no supplement (control). The intervention was for 6 months. In unadjusted analysis, the control group had s…

Vitamin A supplementation and estimated number of averted child deaths in Ethiopia
Vitamin A supplementation (VAS), started as a short-term strategy pending dietary improvements, has been implemented in Ethiopia for the last 15 years. We aimed to describe the trends in VAS coverage and estimated the associated reductions in child mortality. VAS coverage data obtained from the District Health Information System and the Demographic and Health Surveys were linked to child mortality data from the United Nations Interagency Group fo…
Water quality for young children in Cambodia—High contamination at collection and consumption level
Unsafe drinking water is a leading cause of child morbidity, especially among young children in low-income settings. Safe water consumption requires high-quality water available at its source and at point of use. We examined the quality of drinking water at point of collection and point of use in 796 households in three provinces, in Cambodia. Microbiological testing for coliform and Escherichia coli contamination was conducted for samples collec…
Maternal mid‐upper arm circumference during pregnancy and linear growth among Cambodian infants during the first months of life
Stunting prevalence among children under 5 years remains high in Cambodia, affecting about one-third of children. In most low- and middle-income countries, linear growth faltering of young children starts in the womb. The 1,000-days window of opportunity to improve child nutritional status includes pregnancy, as maternal nutritional status is an important determinant of birthweight and child development. In Cambodia, nutritional status of pregnan…
