Monitoring and enforcement of Code-based legal measures to protect breastfeeding in South Asia
Objective: To examine the bottlenecks and opportunities associated with Code monitoring and enforcement at the national level in the eight countries of South Asia region (Afghanistan, Bhutan, Bangladesh, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka). Design: Data was collected following a workshop-as-research methodology. Deductive content analysis was used to review, categorize, and analyze data. A semi-structured categorization matrix contai…
Building a rights-based approach to nutrition for women and children
Women face numerous gender-based barriers that hinder their access to resources, nutritious foods, nutrition services, and maternity entitlements. Evidence shows that certain types of women’s groups can improve women’s access to resources and social capital and in some approaches also improve health and nutrition outcomes. Women’s rights-based organizations in South Asia have a longstanding tradition of collective action toward gender equality. W…
Levels, severity, and determinants of stunting in children 0–59 months in Afghanistan
Childhood stunting is a critical nutritional concern for Afghanistan. Prioritizing development assistance toward child nutrition requires recent estimates on child stunting and timely insights on determinants at national and sub-national levels. This study addresses this gap by estimating the prevalence and determinants of stunting and severe stunting in children under-five using the latest publically available data. The recent wave of Afghanista…
Factors Associated With Complementary Feeding Practices in Afghanistan
Children between the ages of 6 and 23 months require the age-appropriate introduction of complementary foods alongside breastfeeding to meet their nutritional needs, but in humanitarian settings children frequently do not receive appropriate diets. Using data from 9193 children aged 6-23 months in the Afghanistan Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey 2022-2023, this paper provides nationally representative estimates of the percentage of children meet…
Estimating the potential impact of a health tax on the demand for unhealthy food and beverages and on tax revenue in India
Foods high in fat, sugar or salt are important contributors to the rising burden of non-communicable diseases globally and in India. Health taxes (HTs) have been used by over 70 countries as an effective tool for reducing consumption of sugar sweetened beverages (SSBs). However, the potential impacts of HTs on consumption and on revenues have not been estimated in India. This paper aims to estimate the potential impact of health taxes on the dema…
Law matters – assessment of country-level code implementation and sales of breastmilk substitutes in South Asia
Objectives: This study examines the status of implementation of the International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes of eight countries in the South Asia region (Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka), and describes the sales value and volume of commercial milk formula (CMF) marketed as breastmilk substitutes (BMS) and baby food in four countries (Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka). De…
Availability of national policies, programmes, and survey‐based coverage data to track nutrition interventions in South Asia
Progress to improve nutrition among women, infants and children in South Asia has fallen behind the pace needed to meet established global targets. Renewed political commitment and monitoring of nutrition interventions are required to improve coverage and quality of care. Our study aimed to assess the availability of national nutrition policies, programmes, and coverage data of nutrition interventions for women, children, and adolescents in eight…
What is missing in our understanding of urban slum environments and maternal, infant and young child nutrition from publicly available data in Asia and the Pacific
Given the recent, rapid urbanisation in Asia and the Pacific region, coupled with increases in the triple burden of malnutrition, we need to better understand maternal, infant and young child nutrition (MIYCN) for populations living in urban slum environments. This research used existing large-scale datasets to explore MIYCN indicators for those living in urban slum, compared with urban nonslum, areas. Data since 2015 from available Demographic a…
Assessment of regional networks on nutrition in South Asia
Opportunities are being missed for organizations to work together on nutrition at the regional level in South Asia. The effectiveness of regional nutrition networks in influencing policy or programme decisions and resources for nutrition at country level should be explored
Levels and determinants of malnutrition among India's urban poor women
A quarter of 400 million urban Indian residents are poor. Urban poor women are as undernourished as or worse than rural women but urban averages mask this disparity. We present the spectrum of malnutrition and their determinants for more than 26,000 urban women who gave birth within 5 years from the last two rounds of Demographic Health Survey 2006 and 2016. Among urban mothers in the lowest quartile by wealth index (urban poor), 12.8% (95% CI [1…
