Preliminary Findings from a Landscape Analysis: What do we know about Nutrition and WASH among the poorest children in urban East Africa?

Summary

Our review of both the nutrition and WASH literature related to urban child health in East Africa was an iterative process. Initial searches included all of sub-Saharan Africa, but was later narrowed to focus specifically on Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania. We focused on published and grey literature from the last 10 years, although earlier resources that provided particularly good information on our target areas and countries were also included. The evidence presented here reflect the preliminary findings with the intention of identifying gaps and expanding this analysis moving forward after this roundtable. In addition, the Steering Committee did a preliminary map of the current key players, interventions and underway to address nutrition and WASH needs.
