Evaluating the impact of supplying double fortified salt through the public distribution system (PDS) on anemia in Bihar, India
International Initiative for Impact Evaluation, 2015Out of the 2 billion people suffering from anemia worldwide, about half of these cases are traceable to Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA) (WHO, 2007). In India 24% of men and 56% of women are anemic (National Family Health Survey, 2005-06). IDA has been associated with low productivity in adults and cognitive and physical stunting among children.DocumentEstimating the effects of a low-cost early stimulation and parenting education programme in Mexico
International Initiative for Impact Evaluation, 2015The demand for early child development (ECD) programs has expanded massively, with total enrolment in pre-primary education more than doubling in the last thirty years and the proportion of children in pre-primary education in Latin America more than tripling over the same time period.DocumentEnhancing food production and food security through improved inputs: an evaluation of Tanzania's National Agricultural Input Voucher Scheme (NAIVS) with a focus on gender impacts
International Initiative for Impact Evaluation, 2014Raising agricultural productivity is the principal challenge facing African agriculture, including in Tanzania. Agriculture in Tanzania accounts to 27 percent of GDP, 80 percent of employment, 75 percent of household income and is a key component for the country strategy for poverty reduction.DocumentPreventive zinc supplementation for children, and the effect of additional iron: a systematic review and meta-analysis
British Medical Journal, 2014Zinc deficiency is widespread, and preventive supplementation may have benefits in young children. Effects for children over 5 years of age, and effects when co-administered with other micronutrients are uncertain. These are obstacles to scale-up. This review seeks to determine if preventive supplementation reduces mortality and morbidity for children aged 6 months to 12 years.DocumentEffect of balanced protein energy supplementation during pregnancy on birth outcomes
BMC Public Health, 2011The nutritional status of the mother prior to and during pregnancy plays a vital role in foetal growth and development, and maternal undernourishment may lead to adverse perinatal outcomes including intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). Several macronutrient interventions had been proposed for adequate protein and energy supplementation during pregnancy.DocumentEffect of multiple micronutrient supplementation during pregnancy on maternal and birth outcomes
BMC Public Health, 2011Given the widespread prevalence of micronutrient deficiencies in developing countries, supplementation with multiple micronutrients rather than iron-folate alone, could be of potential benefit to the mother and the fetus.DocumentEffect of routine iron supplementation with or without folic acid on anemia during pregnancy
BMC Public Health, 2011Iron deficiency is the most prevalent nutrient deficiency in the world, particularly during pregnancy. According to the literature, anaemia, particularly severe anaemia, is associated with increased risk of maternal mortality. It also puts mothers at risk of multiple perinatal complications.DocumentImpact of public spending on health and education of children in India: A Panel data simultaneous equation model
Indira Gandhi Institute of Development Research, India, 2014The basic objective of this study is to examine the impact of public expenditure on health and education after incorporating the linkages between health status of children and their educational achievements in India. The study has developed a simultaneous equation model among health and education of children, and public expenditure on these sectors.DocumentMeasures, spatial profile and determinants of dietary diversity: evidence from India
Indira Gandhi Institute of Development Research, India, 2014Food security policies in developing countries generally focus on calorie intake, which is not sufficient to tackle the triple burden of malnutrition: undernourishment, micronutrient deficiencies and over-nutrition. Consumption of a diverse diet is important to lessen the burden and is constrained by different factors.DocumentEffect of breastfeeding promotion interventions on breastfeeding rates, with special focus on developing countries
BMC Public Health, 2011Given the recognised benefits of breastfeeding for the health of the mother and infants, the World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) for the first six months of life. However, the prevalence of EBF is low globally in many of the developing and developed countries around the world.Pages
