Irrigation improves weight‐for‐height z ‐scores of children under five, and Women's and Household Dietary Diversity Scores in Ethiopia and Tanzania
Evidence on the potential for agricultural intensification to improve nutrition has grown considerably. While small-scale irrigation is a key factor driving agricultural intensification in sub-Saharan Africa, its impact on nutrition has not yet been thoroughly explored. In this study, we assess the impact of adoption of small-scale irrigation in Ethiopia and Tanzania on household and women's dietary diversity, as well as children's nutrition. We …
Seasonal variation in maternal dietary diversity is reduced by small‐scale irrigation practices: A longitudinal study
Some agricultural practices, such as irrigation, have the potential to buffer seasonal dietary gaps and through increased production and consumption improve diets, particularly of the rural poor relying on subsistence farming but also for rural and urban households purchasing irrigated produce on local markets. The study aimed to evaluate the effect of seasonality and irrigation on women's diet in rural Ethiopia. Using a longitudinal study design…
Measuring coverage of infant and young child feeding counselling interventions: A framework and empirical considerations for survey question design
Most countries implement nutrition counselling interventions as part of programmes to support breastfeeding and complementary feeding. However, data to track coverage of counselling interventions are rarely available. As a result, little is known about the coverage of counselling on infant and young child feeding (IYCF). Survey-based data collection systems generally collect data on IYCF practices but do not collect data on coverage of interventi…
Linking women-led community kitchens to school food programmes: Lessons learned from the Healthy Kitchens, Healthy Children intervention in Palestinian refugees in Lebanon
Objective: Decades of marginalization have led Palestinian refugees living in Lebanon to experience multigenerational poverty and food insecurity. The Healthy Kitchens, Healthy Children programme implemented and examined the impact of a two-pronged intervention that employed women through community kitchens to deliver a subsidized healthy daily school snack to elementary-school children in Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon. We describe the rat…
A mixed-methods evaluation of community-based healthy kitchens as social enterprises for refugee women
This model created a social enterprise using the concept of community kitchens linked to schools and allowed women to significantly contribute to household expenditure and improve their food security
Grandmothers’ knowledge positively influences maternal knowledge and infant and young child feeding practices
Objective To examine associations between grandmothers’ knowledge and infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices and to test whether the associations are independent of or operate via maternal knowledge. Design Cross-sectional household survey data from households with a child under 5 years ( n 4080). We used multivariate regression analyses, adjusted for child, maternal, grandmother and household characteristics, and district-level clusteri…
