A case for subnational nutrition financing
This paper aims to emphasize the significance of creating subnational nutrition action plans in regions with high variation in nutrition challenges and evaluates their projected return on investment in Kenya. Despite steady progress, undernutrition in Kenya remains high, costing the country an estimated US$ 4.2 billion or 7% of its GDP annually. Under Kenya’s decentralized government system, numerous counties developed sectoral County Nutrition A…
Overview
Anemia remains a significant global public health challenge, particularly affecting women and children. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2019, 30% of women aged 15–49 years, and 40% of children under the age of 5 were anemic (WHO 2024). Anemia is associated with adverse maternal and child outcomes, linked to inadequate cognitive and motor development in children, as well as reduced work capacity in adults, thereby impacting a …
Assessment of Women's Discretionary Salt Intake and Household Salt Utilization in Preparation for a Salt Fortification Trial in Oromia Region, Ethiopia
There is a high incidence of neural tube defects (NTDs) in Ethiopia and folate insufficiency, a primary risk factor for NTDs, is common among Ethiopian women of reproductive age (WRA). Folic acid fortification of salt has been proposed as a strategy to control these problems. In preparation for an intervention trial to assess the nutritional effects of folic acid-fortified salt, we measured discretionary salt intakes among nonpregnant WRA using o…
A blueprint for fortification planning and programming
With multiple food fortification frameworks, countries can find it challenging to determine optimal methods for planning and implementing food fortification programmes to combat vitamin and mineral deficiencies, especially without additional technical support. To address this challenge, this study aimed to review existing frameworks to determine consistencies, differences, strengths, and weaknesses across the frameworks, and based on the review f…
Multiple micronutrient supplementation cost–benefit tool for informing maternal nutrition policy and investment decisions
Antenatal multiple micronutrient supplementation (MMS) is an intervention that can help reach three of the six global nutrition targets, either directly or indirectly: a reduction in low birth weight, stunting, and anaemia in women of reproductive age. To support global guideline development and national decision-making on investments into maternal nutrition, Nutrition International developed a modelling tool called the MMS cost-benefit tool to h…
Factor Structure and Equivalence of Maternal Resources for Care in Bangladesh, Vietnam, and Ethiopia
Resources for care were structurally similar and measurement equivalent across countries and can be used for measurement in low- and middle-income countries. Additional work examining the structure and cross-context equivalence of resources for care in other settings is warranted
Associations of maternal resources with care behaviours differ by resource and behaviour
Care is important for children's growth and development, but lack or inadequacy of resources for care can constrain appropriate caregiving. The objectives of this study were to examine whether maternal resources for care are associated with care behaviours specifically infant and young child feeding, hygiene, health-seeking, and family care behaviours. The study also examined if some resources for care are more important than others. This study u…
Iran in transition
Being the second-largest country in the Middle East, Iran has a long history of civilisation during which several dynasties have been overthrown and established and health-related structures have been reorganised. Iran has had the replacement of traditional practices with modern medical treatments, emergence of multiple pioneer scientists and physicians with great contributions to the advancement of science, environmental and ecological changes i…
