Research and Reviews
Through our overview of programming experience and challenges, ENN identifies priority areas for research and reviews in the area of emergency nutrition and malnutrition in high-burden contexts. We undertake research that fill critical gaps in the evidence base, by working in collaboration with experienced global researchers and programmers.
ENN's current areas of research are as follows:
- Management of small & nutritionally At-risk Infants under six months & their Mothers (MAMI)
- The links between wasting and stunting (WaSt)
- Adolescent nutrition
- Wasting prevention
- MAMI RISE research Ethiopia
Previous research and reviews include:
- Research on food assistance for nutritional impact (REFANI) (2017)
- Review of maternal nutrition in emergencies (2013)
- Nutrition resilience review (2015)
- Cash transfer programmes and their impact on moderate acute malnutrition (2015)
