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.

The Alive & Thrive (A&T) initiative aimed to improve infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices in Ethiopia through large-scale implementation of social and behavior change communication interventions in four regions of Ethiopia.

Describes the Alive & Thrive initiative by outlining how and why we began, what we’ve achieved and how we’ve evolved today. Also illustrates the four component framework that we use to scale up nutrition.

Malnutrition in children under 5 years of age is pervasive in Ethiopia across all wealth quintiles.

The goal of this project was to assess the willingness of parents and caregivers of children under the age of 5 to purchase a lipid-based nutrient supplement (LNS) for their children on a weekly basis.

Household food insecurity (HFI) is a recognized underlying determinant of child undernutrition, but evidence of associations between HFI and child undernutrition is mixed.
