Wasting and Stunting: Research Influencing

In the early stages of our work, we focussed on conducting a research prioritisation exercise to explore research needs related to the topic. Subsequently, the WaSt TIG has accumulated considerable knowledge and experience of harnessing ‘found data’ to help answer research questions. It has given us insights into the quality of existing data, the strengths and weaknesses as well as the opportunities being missed when research is being designed and financed. As a result, we have published some of our learnings and reflections from this work.
