Bridging the gap between intent & interpretation: Enhancing survey questions on maternal & child nutrition intervention coverage through cognitive interviewing in India por Ashok, Sattvika, Kim, Sunny S., Avula, Rasmi, Heidkamp, Rebecca A., Munos, Melinda K., Menon, Purnima

“…Results: We identified four types of cognitive challenges: 1) Poor retention of multiple concepts in long questions: difficulty in comprehending and retaining questions with three or more key concepts; 2) Temporal confusion: difficulty in conceptualizing recall periods such as “in the last 6 months” as compared to life stages such as pregnancy; 3) Misinterpretation of concepts: misinterpretation of the information being asked; meaning of certain terms such as “animal-source foods” was considered as referring to meat products only and not milk and eggs; scope of intervention using the phrase “talk with you” in referring to counseling was interpreted in different ways by respondents; and 4) Poor understanding of technical terms: difficulty in understanding even commonly-used technical words such as “breastfeeding” and “antenatal care” requiring the use of plain and simple alternative language. Conclusions: Findings from this study will be useful for stakeholders involved in survey design and implementation, especially those conducting large-scale household surveys to improve coverage data of essential nutrition interventions, which is critical for actions…”

On boxes, contents, and users: food security and the WTO negotiations por Díaz-Bonilla, Eugenio, Robinson, Sherman, Thomas, Marcelle

CGIAR Road from COP29 to COP30 Webinar Series #4 | The Just Transition Work Programme (JTWP) por CGIAR Science Program on Climate Action

“…These issues were raised in submissions to the third JTWP dialogue by CGIAR, FAO, the United Nations Foundation, AGNES, Mercy for Animals, the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition, and ILRI, highlighting that agrifood systems remain largely absent from current JTWP discussions, despite their importance for mitigation, adaptation, and livelihoods. Including language around “low greenhouse gas emission development in a manner that does not threaten food production” in the final COP29 text creates a window for action. …”
