Evidence from Odisha’s Mamata scheme: Can conditional cash transfers improve the uptake of nutrition interventions and household food security? por Raghunathan, Kalyani, Chakrabarti, Suman, Avula, Rasmi, Kim, Sunny S.

“…There is considerable global evidence on the effectiveness of cash transfers in improving health and nutrition outcomes; however, the evidence from South Asia, particularly India, is limited. In the context of India where more than a third of children are undernourished, and where there is considerable under-utilization of health and nutrition interventions, it is opportune to investigate the impact of cash transfer programs on the use of interventions. …”

Managing the vitamin A program portfolio: A case study of Zambia, 2013–2042 por Fiedler, John L., Lividini, Keith

“…Micronutrient deficiencies continue to constitute a major burden of disease, particularly in Africa and South Asia. Programs to address micronutrient deficiencies have been increasing in number, type, and scale in recent years, creating an ever-growing need to understand their combined coverage levels, costs, and impacts so as to more effectively combat deficiencies, avoid putting individuals at risk for excess intakes, and ensure the efficient use of public health resources.To analyze combinations of the two current programs—sugar fortification and Child Health Week (CHW)—together with four prospective programs—vegetable oil fortification, wheat flour fortification, maize meal fortification, and biofortified vitamin A maize—to identify Zambia's optimal vitamin A portfolio.Combining program cost estimates and 30-year Zambian food demand projections, together with the Zambian 2005 Living Conditions Monitoring Survey, the annual costs, coverage, impact, and cost-effectiveness of 62 Zambian portfolios were modeled for the period from 2013 to 2042.Optimal portfolios are identified for each of five alternative criteria: average cost-effectiveness, incremental cost-effectiveness, coverage maximization, health impact maximization, and affordability. …”

Are biofortified staple food crops improving vitamin A and iron status in women and children?: New evidence from efficacy trials por De Moura, Fabiana F., Palmer, Amanda C., Finkelstein, Julia L., Haas, Jere D., Murray-Kolb, Laura E., Wenger, Michael J., Birol, Ekin, Boy, Erick, Peña-Rosas, Juan Pablo

“…Specifically, data from 6 efficacy and 2 effectiveness trials were discussed to assess the effects of regular consumption of these enhanced staple crops on improving population vitamin A and iron status and reducing the burden of micronutrient deficiencies in targeted populations living in South Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Latin America. Biofortified food crops appear to have a positive impact on nutritional and functional health outcomes, as the results from the trials suggest. …”
