Feasibility, acceptability and equity of a mobile intervention for Upscaling Participatory Action and Videos for Agriculture and Nutrition (m-Upavan) in rural Odisha, India
Addressing undernutrition requires strategies that remove barriers to health for all. We adapted an intervention from the ‘UPAVAN’ trial to a mobile intervention (m-UPAVAN) during the COVID-19 pandemic in rural Odisha, India. In UPAVAN, women’s groups viewed and discussed participatory videos on nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive agricultural (NSA) topics. In m-UPAVAN, weekly videos and audios on the same topics were disseminated via What…
Behavioural drivers of suboptimal maternal and child feeding practices in Rwanda: An anthropological study
At 33% of under-5s, stunting rates in Rwanda remain stubbornly high, as do figures for maternal (25% of pregnant women) and childhood anaemia (37%). Intensive communication and education campaigns have provided caregivers with high levels of knowledge about best practices in Maternal, Infant and Young Child Nutrition (MIYCN), but this is not translating into the improved diets which could contribute to reducing rates of stunting. Deploying an ant…
Factors influencing the uptake of a mass media intervention to improve child feeding in Bangladesh
Mass media are increasingly used to deliver health messages to promote social and behaviour change, but there has been little evidence of mass media use for improving a set of child feeding practices, other than campaigns to promote breastfeeding.

We conducted a mixed…

We soug…

Constrained trade and creative exchange on the barima river, guyana
This article examines entrepreneurial activities among Amerindian residents of the Barima River, Guyana. It argues that Barima residents create entrepreneurial opportunities by exploiting a trading system constructed by a French palm-heart processing company as rigidly non-negotiable. This mercantilism is further enabled by the fact that the river itself constitutes an artery of neighbouring economic zones, in which distinct regimes of production…
