In 2010, Health Partners launched PowerUp to help reduce childhood obesity through community partnerships and programs promoting healthy eating and active lifestyles. PowerUp aims to positively influence children, families, and communities. It provides resources and messaging around eating fruits and vegetables, limiting screen time, and engaging in active play. Childhood obesity has more than doubled, with both immediate and long term health risks. PowerUp has reached over 20,000 children and families through school and community events. Evaluation shows changes to foods offered and physical activities at schools.

Comprehensive Multi-Dimensional Programming for Nutrition Introduction

CORE Group

Undernutrition has serious consequences, including 45% of deaths in children under 5 and permanent physical and cognitive impairments that reduce productivity and earnings as adults. It is caused by direct factors like inadequate food intake or disease, as well as underlying issues like poverty, lack of education, and poor sanitation. A complex problem, undernutrition requires comprehensive multi-dimensional programming for nutrition to adequately address its causes and consequences.

Micronutrient Initiative Presentation -Kirorei Kiprotich

kirorei Kirorei

This document summarizes the coordination of maternal and child health activities in 10 counties in Kenya through the Right Start Project. It outlines progress made in reducing child mortality and increasing access to skilled birth attendants. However, there are still high rates of preventable morbidity and mortality due to barriers to quality healthcare. The Right Start Project aims to address these challenges through partnership-driven activities like capacity building, health systems strengthening, and high impact interventions. The goal is improving maternal, newborn and child health and nutrition outcomes through coordinated efforts across 10 counties.

The document summarizes lessons learned from the UN's REACH program in strengthening nutrition governance in eight countries over three years. Key outcomes included increased awareness, strengthened nutrition policies and plans, and improved human and institutional capacity. Barriers included political instability and lack of capacity, while enabling factors were political will, nutrition champions, and coordinated advocacy. The main lessons were that longer facilitation is needed, high-level support is important, stakeholders need alignment, and capacity building is critical alongside coordination.

essp2

This document summarizes research on the impacts of social protection programs in Ethiopia on child nutrition. It finds that while the Productive Safety Nets Programme (PSNP) and social cash transfer pilot program in Tigray improved household food security, neither program improved child nutrition outcomes. Child malnutrition levels remained high, likely because the programs did not effectively integrate nutrition education and interventions. Maternal education had limited impact on child nutrition, and many children faced chronic undernutrition from a very young age. Improving nutrition knowledge and hygiene practices is needed for social protection to fully address child malnutrition in Ethiopia.

Reducing stunting globally by 40% would cost an additional $8.50 per child under 5 annually, totaling $42 billion. A package of interventions like improving nutrition for pregnant women, supplementation, breastfeeding promotion, and complementary feeding could achieve this target. Additional financing is needed for 37 high burden countries over 10 years, as current approaches will not meet resource needs. "Global Solidarity" generating resources from all countries proportionate to their means could fund reaching the stunting reduction goal.

This document discusses marketing of unhealthy foods to children and efforts to reduce this practice. It notes that children's diets high in fat, sugar and salt put them at risk for health issues. Food marketing to children promotes these unhealthy foods and influences children's food preferences. Several countries and organizations, including WHO, have issued recommendations to restrict unhealthy food marketing to children. Norway is considering implementing statutory regulations after testing voluntary industry restrictions. Overall, the marketing of unhealthy foods to children is a global issue that requires international action and consistent monitoring to be effectively addressed.

WFP Angola Nutrition Work

Catherine Hsu

This document summarizes Cathy Hsu's senior project and optional rotations with the World Food Programme in Angola from June to August 2006. It includes an overview of Angola's history and current situation, WFP's SMI maternal and child health program, and three projects Cathy completed: 1) conducting focus groups with women in SMI to understand the program, 2) analyzing nutrition survey data, and 3) assessing a displaced community's nutrition status. The focus groups provided preliminary positive results about prenatal care and barriers like transportation. Data analysis found high rates of stunting, underweight children, and vaccine coverage. The nutrition assessment found moderate malnutrition but no severe cases, allowing WFP to discontinue aid.

The Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI) is a joint program between the WHO and UNICEF that promotes exclusive breastfeeding. Over 20,000 hospitals in 156 countries have been designated "Baby-Friendly" by following the Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding. In the US, Baby-Friendly USA oversees the designation process, though American breastfeeding rates remain low compared to other developed nations. While the BFHI has improved breastfeeding support worldwide, its impact in the US may be limited as hospitals are now incentivized by other agencies to improve breastfeeding metrics. Some argue the "Baby-Friendly" designation has become more of a marketing tool than a program focused on improving mother and baby health

CORE Group

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

Women’s Empowerment in Agriculture and Nutritional Outcomes in Ethiopia

essp2

1) The study examines the impact of women's empowerment in agriculture on nutritional outcomes in Ethiopia using data from 5 regions. 2) It finds that women in Ethiopia have relatively low empowerment levels compared to other countries, with the largest contributions to disempowerment coming from leadership, time, and resource domains. 3) Regression analysis shows that women's empowerment, as measured by the WEAI index, has a positive impact on children's dietary diversity and stunting as well as women's dietary diversity. Having more say in credit decisions and income also leads to better nutritional outcomes.

ifpri_dhaka

This document summarizes a study examining the relationship between women's empowerment in agriculture and household, maternal, and child dietary diversity in Bangladesh. The study uses a new Women's Empowerment in Agriculture Index to measure women's empowerment across several domains. It finds that higher overall empowerment scores, as well as greater group participation, control over assets and credit decisions, and reduced gender parity gaps, positively impact household and individual dietary diversity. The results suggest policies should strengthen women's access to and control over land, resources, credit, and leadership opportunities to improve food and nutrition security outcomes.

The Women’s Empowerment in Agriculture Index – What have we learned?

IFPRI-PIM

This document summarizes efforts to improve the Women's Empowerment in Agriculture Index (WEAI) by discussing various studies and initiatives. It provides an overview of the different versions of the WEAI (original, abbreviated, project-specific, and value chain-specific) and how the index is constructed. It also shares key findings from applying the WEAI in multiple countries, such as workload and access to credit being common constraints. Additionally, it discusses preliminary results from a Philippines pilot that identify workload and group membership as top disempowerment factors. The document demonstrates how the WEAI can inform programming to empower women, using Bangladesh's ANGeL project as an example.

Women’s Empowerment in Agriculture and Nutritional Outcomes in Ethiopia

essp2

- Women's empowerment in agriculture is linked to improved nutritional outcomes for children and women in rural Ethiopia. Increasing women's decision making power over credit, income, and workloads saw reductions in child stunting and underweight as well as higher dietary diversity scores for women. - While women in Ethiopia showed relatively low empowerment levels compared to other countries, interventions to further increase women's agency in agriculture can not only engage them more, but also positively impact nutrition. Empowering women is beneficial and has multidimensional returns including better nutrition.
