Who's who in nutrition
In our inception phase we undertook stakeholder network and power mapping in our four focal countries and reports were produced for Bangladesh, Kenya, Ethiopia and India. A number of participants said that they had found the process very useful, increasing their knowledge of how organisations were linked and who the key players were. Follow up interviews with a sample of those identified provided further insights into network and power dynamics. |

2013 Lancet series on maternal and child nutrition
On June 7th, The Lancet will publish a series featuring new global data and policy recommendations on nutrition. The series is a follow-up to the Lancet’s landmark 2008 Series, which helped put nutrition on the global health and development agenda and identified the 1,000 days of a mother’s pregnancy until her child’s 2nd birthday as the priority window for impact. Transform Nutrition researchers have written a paper on the politics of reducing malnutrition, which reflects pillar 3 of our research which focuses on an enabling environment for nutrition.
