    Nutrition Information Systems for Implementing Child Nutrition Programs

    Mock, Nancy; Mason, John | June 1999
    Abstract
    Nutrition information systems (NIS) provide the information needed for planning and implementing nutrition investment programs. This paper develops a framework to analyze NIS in the study countries. Existing NIS elements in the study countries are reviewed, making recommendations for improvements. Key findings include the need for national household probability surveys that are synchronized among countries and repetitive over time, including information related to both general and micronutrient malnutrition; simplified, routine program information systems that include information use from the household level up, and that take advantage of emerging information technologies; operations research and training for effective growth monitoring and promotion programs; and evaluation research, especially within the first five years, to guide the development of cost-effective country programs. Advocacy and substantial investments in capacity building will be required to ensure that staff from the community level up are able to function effectively in an information culture.

      Putting Prevention of Childhood Stunting into the Forefront of the Nutrition Agenda: A Nutrition Sector Review 

      Herrin, Alejandro N. (Philippine Institute for Development Studies, 2016-04-30)
      In 2015, based on the latest FNRI survey, childhood stunting affected one-third (33 percent) of children under 5 years. This is equivalent to 3.78 million children in 2015. Moreover, there has been little progress in reducing stunting prevalence in the last 20 years. The strategic importance of stunting prevention cannot be overemphasized in view of its short and longterm consequences on health, ...

      Mother’s Education and Children’s Nutritional Status: New Evidence from Cambodia. Asian Development Review, Vol. 26(1), pp. 131-165 

      Miller, Jane E.; Rodgers, Yana V. (Asian Development Bank, 2009-03-25)
      This study uses data from Cambodia’s 2005 Demographic and Health Survey to examine how three measures of children’s nutritional status vary by mother’s educational attainment. To identify mechanisms for that association, the study analyzes birth size, which depends on factors during gestation, and low height-for-age (stunting) and low weight-for-height (wasting), which are affected by factors ...
