This comprehensive research initiative investigates the complex pathways through which climate change and environmental degradation are impacting food systems and nutrition in East Africa. The study aims to provide critical evidence on how shifting climatic patterns and environmental stressors are affecting the availability, access, utilization, and stability of nutritious food. By generating robust data, this research will inform the development of effective policies and adaptive strategies to
This research study was designed to generate concrete, context-specific evidence on the link between poor household Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) conditions and the nutritional status of children under five. Building on global evidence that WASH is a major underlying cause of undernutrition , this project aimed to quantify the impact in specific communities in Uganda and the DRC. The findings are crucial for designing more effective, integrated WASH-Nutrition programs and for advocating
