Research and Reviews
Through our overview of programming experience and challenges, the ENN is in a good position to identify priority areas for research and reviews in the area of emergency nutrition and malnutrition in high-burden contexts. The ENN undertakes research and reviews to fill critical gaps in the evidence base in collaboration with experienced researchers and programmers.
ENN's current areas of research are as follows:
- Research on food assistance for nutritional impact (REFANI)
- Management of at risk mothers and infants (MAMI)
- The links between wasting and stunting (WaSt)
- Stunting in protracted emergencies
- Adolescent nutrition
- Wasting prevention
Completed research and reviews include:
- Review of maternal nutrition in emergencies
- Nutrition resilience review
- The management of acute malnutrition at scale: A review of donor and government financing
- Review of the efficacy and impact of emergency programmes
- Cash transfer programmes and their impact on moderate acute malnutrition
- Research on the Prevention and Reduction of Anaemia and Micronutrient Deficiencies in Refugee Populations
- Minimum reporting for Supplementary Feeding Programmes (SFPs)
