WORKING PAPER
BRAC’s ‘Impact and spill-over effects of an asset transfer program on malnutrition’ provides the first evaluation of nutritional outcomes from the, ‘Challenging the Frontiers of Poverty Reduction programme’ (CFPR).
BOOK
This is the third book in a series that follows the same 24 children and young people in our study. In this book they share their hopes and their fears, their ideas about themselves, their families and their communities. young Lives believe that the views and experiences of the children in our study are key to understanding childhood poverty and helping identify effectives policies to tackle it.
REPORT
The kitchen gardens intervention is one of the nutrition-sensitive activities of the WINS project, intended to increase year-round access to nutritious foods, thereby bringing down the cost of a nutritious diet and increasing self-sufficiency and improving dietary diversity. This report presents a costs benefit analysis on the outcomes of the kitchen gardens intervention of the WINS project.
DISCUSSION PAPER
This paper contributes longitudinal research evidence on the impact of structural inequalities on children’s development within households and communities, the ways access to health, education and other key services may reduce or amplify inequalities, and the ways that children’s developmental trajectories diverge from early in life through to early adulthood.
REPORT
Using data gathered from 12,000 children and their families over the timeframe of the MDGs, and in children’s own words where possible, this report from Young Lives looks beyond the ‘big data’ to see what has changed in the reality of children’s lives in the context of the shifts in national policy, priorities and outcomes related to the MDGs.
BRIEF
Drawing on findings from Young Lives, this Brief illustrates the unique advantages of tracking cohorts of children over time to understand causes and consequences, the dynamics of change and the interaction between complex factors in determining outcomes for children. It offers lessons that can inform timely and effective policy responses to changing circumstances, as well as point to some data needs, for the next 15 years and beyond.
