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.

These nutrition profiles present MIYCN data for six regions of Burkina Faso, including data on health and nutrition indicators, causes of undernutrition, nutrition promotion platforms and antenatal and child health care, and global nutrition targets.

This report discusses the findings and recommendations from a study conducted to identify existing practices, barriers, and facilitating factors related to optimal infant and young child feeding in Burkina Faso.

This tool consists of a simple table that traces the pathway from formative research findings in Ethiopia— especially regarding the benefits and barriers to priority behaviors—to approaches/messages for the radio component of our intervention.

Alive & Thrive explores academic literature on fathers’ involvement in child feeding.

Provides a list of small doable actions (i.e., priority behaviors or feeding practices) for mothers and concrete actions that other groups (e.g., fathers, grandmothers, health extension workers, religious leaders) can take to support a mother’s actions.
