Using the Lives Saved Tool to inform global nutrition advocacy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The global nutrition community has been interested in investigating investment strategies that could be used to promote an increased focus and investment in nutrition programming in low- and middle-income countries.

Methods

The Lives Saved Tool (LiST) was used to evaluate lives saved and the costs of nutrition interventions in nine high-burden countries. In this case study, we detail the analyses that were conducted with LiST and how the results were packaged to develop Nourish the Future - a five-year proposal for the US government to scale up lifesaving malnutrition interventions.

Results

Scaling up a proposed package of critical nutrition interventions including micronutrient supplementation for pregnant women, breastfeeding support, Vitamin A supplement
