ORIE Nutrition Research Capacity-Building Workstream: Research Summaries

Abstract

The Operations Research and Impact Evaluation (ORIE) project, led by Oxford Policy Management, has contributed for the past five years to inform nutrition research and the policy debates in Nigeria and beyond. ORIE provided operations research, impact evaluations, costing and cost effectiveness studies for the ambitious six-year, Department for International Development (DFID)-funded Working to Improve Nutrition in Northern Nigeria (WINNN) programme, which supports the government to improve maternal, newborn and child nutrition in five northern states. ORIE worked closely with key federal and state government stakeholders to ensure that findings reached them and informed their policies. This document summarises the projects and findings of the four successful research projects.
