Data for: Lessons Learned from Operationalizing the Integration of Nutrition-Specific and Nutrition-Sensitive Interventions in Rural Ethiopia

<h3>Project Overview</h3>
<p>Undernutrition reduction requires coordinated efforts across sectors to address its causes. A multisectoral approach is important in diagnosing the problem and identifying solutions that would be implemented across different sectors.</p>
<p>This study aimed to explore the experience of health-extension workers (HEWs) and agriculture-extension workers (AEWs) in integrating nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive interventions provided to households with children under two years of age at community level.</p>
<p>A qualitative study was conducted at the community level in rural / agrarian areas of Ethiopia following the completion of a multi-sectoral program that integrated health and agriculture interventions, in 2021. The program’s goal was to reduce stunting and improve the dietary diversity of young children. It was implemented by the Ethiopian federal Ministry of Health and Ministry of Agriculture. Evaluation of the program was the responsibility of the Ethiopian Public Health Institute.</p>
