Morgana Wingard / USAID  Approaches for improving the nutrition of adolescent girls and women of reproductive age PTB/LBW Global Technical Working Group Meeting Copenhagen, Denmark 16 May 2016 9/22/2018

Session Objectives At the end of this session, participants will be able to: Identify programmatic approaches for improving nutritional status of adolescent and women of reproductive age (WRA) Become familiar with the new Minimum Dietary Diversity-Women indicator Identify and access resources for improving adolescent and women’s nutrition and preventing pre-term birth and low-birth weight 9/22/2018 FOOTER GOES HERE Morgana Wingard / USAID 

Nutrition of adolescent girls and WRA: the current context Current percentage of WRA underweight, overweight, and obese Source: most recent DHS Global prevalence of anemia Source: Stevens et al., 2013 48% 43% 33% 29% Anemia: < 110 g/L for children and pregnant women; 120 g/L for women 9/22/2018

Programmatic approaches 9/22/2018

Programmatic responses to adolescent girls and women’s nutrition In 2014 SPRING conducted a literature review of 53 nutrition- specific programs Highlights practices promoted and delivery platforms Only 10 specifically targeted adolescent girls 9 provided data on effectiveness of approach Uttar Pradesh, India (Vir et al., 2008) Weekly IFA supplementation deworming tablets and family life education for school-going and non-school going girls; school system and community “girl-to-girl” approach Significantly improved hemoglobin levels and reduced anemia prevalence after 6 months of implementation Yen Vai province, Vietnam (Passerini et al., 2012) IFA supplementation distributed to non-pregnant women in two districts for 20 months through village health workers Reported correlations between the distribution of IFA supplementation and de-worming for WRA and a reduction in the prevalence of LBW infants at district hospitals Still a need for more rigorous research and evaluation of programs Duffy, M, S Lamstein, C Lutter, and P Koniz-Booher. 2015.

Community Video approach With USAID support, SPRING is testing a new and innovative approach in collaboration with Digital Green called “Community Video” This novel social and behavior change communication approach promotes locally produced participatory media, including radio spots and videos Maternal diet during pregnancy and food taboos Odia VARRAT Odisha Local Video - India What will happen if pregnant women eat less food? Question: Baby will be born prematurely with low birthweight and the mother will not be healthy Answer 9/22/2018

Research approaches 9/22/2018 Thomas Cristofoletti / Ruom for USAID

Minimum Dietary Diversity – Women (MDD-W) Indicator Indicator definition: The proportion of women 15-49 years of age who consumed food items from at least five out of ten defined food groups the previous day or night Grains, white roots/tubers, plantains Dairy Other vitamin A-rich fruits & vegetables Meat, poultry and fish Pulses (beans, peas and lentils) Eggs Other vegetables Dark green leafy vegetables Other fruits Nuts and seeds How can this be interpreted? Groups of WRA where a higher proportion consume ≥5 of the 10 food groups are likely to have higher micronutrient adequacy How should this indicator be measured? MDD-W can be used as a proxy indicator to describe the micronutrient adequacy of women’s diets in national and sub- national assessments How is it useful in the context of programs? MDD-W may be useful when the program design, activities, and impact pathway indicate a potential to increase food group diversity It is not adequate to characterize individual diet quality 9/22/2018 FAO and FHI 360. 2016.
