These videos present Alive & Thrive's adolescent nutrition intervention in Ethiopia, which included Amhara, Somali and SNNP regions. The intervention, co-designed with multiple stakeholders, including adolescent girls and their families, sought to improve dietary practices.

This study conducted in Ethiopia’s SNNP and Somali regions tested the impact of a package of nutrition interventions delivered primarily through schools and implemented by Alive & Thrive on the diet of adolescent girls.

Alive & Thrive's implementation research spans its program areas, seeking to answer "how" to implement effective interventions and policies. Active studies are detailed in the attached documents.
