Odisha's progress in nutrition: multiple drivers of changeTransform Nutrition
Odisha has made progress in reducing mortality and improving nutrition outcomes through scaling up key health and nutrition interventions. A timeline analysis found coverage of interventions like antenatal care, institutional delivery, immunization, and ICDS supplementary nutrition increased from the 1990s onwards. This was enabled by Odisha's clear state vision for reducing mortality and malnutrition, investment in frontline workers and platforms like ICDS and health, stable bureaucracy, and support from development partners and civil society. However, challenges remain like high stunting levels, inter-district variability, and need to strengthen coordination across sectors influencing nutrition determinants.

This document provides an overview of maternal nutrition implementation research in India. It discusses how poor maternal nutrition contributes to poor outcomes for mothers and babies. While the burden of poor nutrition among women of reproductive age is high, health systems have not focused enough attention on the quality of nutritional care during pregnancy. In response, the Indian government has convened a maternal nutrition research network involving government institutions, research organizations, and development partners to test various intervention models and generate evidence to inform policy. Several studies currently being conducted through this network are described, focusing on areas like integrating nutrition into antenatal care and testing multi-sectoral approaches. Challenges around continuity of care across the health system and integrating maternal nutrition efforts with other programs are also discussed

This document summarizes the CORE Group's multi-dimensional approaches to nutrition from their perspective. It discusses how malnutrition has historically been a silent crisis, but that a revolution began in 2008 with publications highlighting the broken global nutrition system. Since then, funding and commitments to addressing undernutrition have increased, though more work remains to be done to scale proven interventions. The document outlines the CORE Group's strategy, which takes a multi-pronged approach including increasing understanding of nutrition determinants; introducing and testing new solutions; improving data, analytics and evidence; enhancing advocacy, policy and alignment; and integrating nutrition and food systems. The overarching goal is for all women and children to have the nutrition they need for healthy, productive lives
This document summarizes the Transform Nutrition research consortium, which aims to accelerate reductions in undernutrition. It has partners in India, Bangladesh, Kenya, and other focus countries. The consortium will examine how to effectively scale up direct nutrition interventions, maximize the nutrition impact of indirect programs like social protection and agriculture, and create an enabling policy environment. It will explore cross-cutting issues of governance, inclusion, and fragility. The consortium is led by six organizations and will generate evidence to influence policymaking and nutrition action through stakeholder engagement and communications strategies.

This document summarizes key points from a paper on creating enabling environments to reduce malnutrition. It discusses three vital factors: 1) Framing, generating, and communicating knowledge and evidence through narratives, advocacy, and research on what works and impact. 2) Political economy of actors, ideas, and interests through multisectoral coordination, accountability, civil society engagement, and private sector contributions. 3) Capacity and financing through leadership, systemic capacity, understanding financing needs, prioritization, and scaling up programs. Case studies highlight the need for evidence, coordination across sectors, capacity building, and leveraging multiple resources to turn commitment into impact on nutrition. Leadership is important at all levels to create momentum and scale up effective actions.
This document discusses key considerations for scaling up nutrition programs based on a literature review. It identifies 9 key elements: 1) having a clear vision, 2) determining what is being scaled, 3) understanding enabling/disabling conditions, 4) identifying drivers/barriers, 5) developing a scaling up strategy, 6) building capacity, 7) establishing governance structures, 8) securing adequate and stable financing, and 9) conducting monitoring, evaluation and learning to ensure accountability.

Children’s diets, nutrition knowledge and access to marketsessp2
This study examines the impact of improved nutrition knowledge on children's diets in Ethiopia and whether this impact varies depending on access to food markets. The study finds that improving nutrition knowledge leads to more diverse children's diets, but only in areas with relatively good market access. The results suggest that to improve children's diets in Ethiopia, policymakers need to address both demand-side constraints like nutrition knowledge as well as supply-side constraints like ensuring access to foods, which is more difficult to achieve. In remote areas with poor market access, households may need to diversify their own production in the short-term.
Indicators and dilemma of breast feeding assessment last Tarek Al 3reeny
The document discusses breastfeeding indicators and their purpose and dilemmas. It provides historical background on the development of breastfeeding indicators since 1991. While indicators are meant to assess practices and monitor progress, they have limitations for smaller local programs due to their limited set of measures. The document also notes dilemmas in definitions, methodology, and applications of some individual indicators related to sample sizes, recall periods, and age ranges. It concludes that indicators need country-specific revisions and that national expert panels should create customized indicators for assessing breastfeeding practices.

Rice is the most consumed cereal in Senegal, accounting for 34% of total cereal consumption. Per capita consumption is 80-90kg annually, though there is an urban-rural divide. While domestic production has doubled between 2010-2021, it still only meets 40% of demand. As a result, Senegal imports around 1 million tons annually, mainly from India and Thailand. Several public policies aim to incentivize domestic production and stabilize prices, though rice remains highly exposed to international price shocks due to its importance in consumption and reliance on imports.
