This slide deck was part of a presentation given by the International Food Policy Research Institute and Alive & Thrive during a post-graduate course lecture at Johns Hopkins University on January 25, 2024.

This desk review aims to identify critical nutrition problems of adolescent girls in the age groups of 10 to 14 years and 15 to 19 years in Ethiopia and the associated factors based on recent studies.

Adolescence is a critical period of physical and psychological development, especially for girls, because poor nutrition can affect their wellbeing as well as that of their children.

This slidedeck was presented at Alive & Thrive's webinar, “Improving Adolescent Girls' Dietary Practices in Ethiopia: Results from Alive & Thrive's Implementation Research,” April 11, 2023.

From 2019 to 2021, Alive & Thrive supported the Government of Ethiopia to develop and implement an adolescent nutrition program to improve dietary practices among adolescent girls. This brief summarizes some of the notable highlights from the implementation research endline findings.
