The objective of this study was to propose a pre-competitive, collaborative, multi-stakeholder model for defining, funding and disseminating new research to advance nutrition science.
Lawrence Haddad, Corinna Hawkes and colleagues propose ten ways to shift the focus from feeding people to nourishing them. The purpose of this paper was to set out a new global research agenda for nutrition. It is aimed mainly at researchers, funders and governments, but has important messages for all stakeholders.
The purpose of this study was to create a paper test card that measures a common iodizing agent, iodate, in salt. To test the analytical metrics, usability, and robustness of the paper test card when it is used in low resource settings, the South African Medical Research Council and GroundWork performed independent validation studies of the device.
In this assessment, dietary modeling in children aged 6–60 months was undertaken, based on food consumption patterns described in the 2009 national food consumption survey, using a 24-h recall method.
The present study aimed to determine the contribution of ID, infections and feeding practices to anaemia in Bangladeshi infants aged 6–11 months. Baseline data from 1600 infants recruited into a cluster-randomised trial testing the effectiveness of micronutrient powder sales by frontline health workers on the prevalence of anaemia were used.
This study evaluated the effects of a multi-micronutrient fortified juice drink given in different frequencies of consumption on hemoglobin concentration of schoolchildren. This study demonstrates the importance of targeting such interventions to appropriate populations.
The objective of this study was to pioneer the distribution of a locally-produced micronutrient powders, provided for sale through the public health system with counseling on optimal infant and young child feeding practices by trained health workers.
Business is both part of the problem and the solution to the current food systems challenges. It is critical that we all learn more about this dual impact and that we are able to track how it evolves. By increasing the effectiveness of tracking we will be better positioned to ask and assist businesses to be agents for positive change.
The overall aim of the survey was to generate data to assess the project performance in terms of household coverage, utilization and population reach of fortified wheat flour products, vegetable oil and salt in Ghana, as well as to determine the prevalence of iodine deficiency by analysing urinary iodine.
USAID Tajikistan commissioned GAIN to assess the wheat sector in Tajikistan and identify opportunities for strengthening flour fortification with micronutrients. This report follows a desk review and interviews in October 2013, a mission to Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and Tajikistan in late October to November 2013 and analysis of feedback from national stakeholders in early 2014.
