A study on nutrition-sensitive social protection and its potential to enhance nutrition outcomes across the first 1,000 days in Central and Eastern Africa.
The World Food Programme Regional Bureau for Central and Eastern Africa in Nairobi requested the Economic Policy Research Institute (EPRI) to conduct a study into the subject of nutrition-sensitive social protection and its potential to enhance nutrition outcomes across the first 1,000 days. The study aims to understand how social protection policies and programmes in the region, with a particular focus on social cash-based and in-kind transfers, can be utilized to positively impact nutritional indicators relevant to the first 1,000 days.
