Suaahara, relative to comparison areas, reduced maternal underweight and improved complementary feeding practices with children 6–23.9 months of age, increasing the percentages of children having minimum dietary diversity, minimum meal frequency and minimum acceptable diet; feeding sick child more and administering oral rehydration solution and zinc for diarrhoea. Abstract Suaahara was an innovative, complex, multi-sectoral, large-scale, nutrition

Abstract The objective of this study was to test whether adding a text message campaign about the importance of eating eggs and other nutrition-related behaviours to an on-going package of large-scale, diverse social and behaviour change interventions would improve four types of nutrition-related knowledge and behaviour outcomes: child diets (egg consumption as the primary outcome),

Abstract Given the recent, rapid urbanisation in Asia and the Pacific region, coupled with increases in the triple burden of malnutrition, we need to better understand maternal, infant and young child nutrition (MIYCN) for populations living in urban slum environments. This research used existing large-scale datasets to explore MIYCN indicators for those living in urban

Suaahara II, a scaled up multisectoral nutrition programme in Nepal, cost US$132 per programme participant (mother in the 1000-day period). Opportunity costs of volunteer and participant time are high, accounting for 47% of total costs. Complex multisectoral programmes require significant resources to ensure coordination and support at national and subnational levels. Abstract Limited evidence exists

Abstract Maternal and child undernutrition remain major public health problems in Nepal. Suaahara is a USAID-funded multi-sectoral nutrition programme aiming to strengthen local nutrition governance to reduce maternal and child undernutrition, among other objectives. The purpose of this study is to present findings from a recent qualitative evaluation of Suaahara II’s influence on the decentralised
