This document outlines a pilot study investigating the relationship between livestock value chains and the nutritional status of women and children in Kenya. The study aims to evaluate the nutritional status and diets of households using different types of livestock value chains. A survey of 200 households in poor areas of Nairobi will assess the nutritional indicators like anthropometrics, diets, and hemoglobin of children and mothers. The value chains used by households for livestock products will also be analyzed. The study hypothesizes that access to livestock value chains is associated with better nutritional status. The objectives are to evaluate diets and nutrition in association with livestock consumption patterns and value chain use. This may help leverage animal source foods for improved nutrition in Kenya.
