Summary

This brief presents key findings from a multi-country assessment, which used an implementation science strategy to explore the nutrition and water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) situation of children younger than five years and adolescents living in urban slum settings in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. The assessment, supported by the USAID-funded Health Evaluation and Applied Research Development (HEARD) project implemented by University Research Co., LLC. Local partner institutions across the three countries conducted the assessment. The results presented here reflect the analysis, triangulation, and synthesis of the information and data collected, applying the UNICEF nutrition framework as a guide for the analysis and synthesis of data
