In 2011, USAID launched the Strengthening Partnerships, Results, and Innovations in Nutrition Globally (SPRING) project to scale up high-impact nutrition practices and policies from different countries. With assistance from IFPRI, SPRING provides governments with state-of-the- art technical support focused on preventing stunting and maternal and child anemia in the first 1,000 days, linking agriculture and nutrition, and creating social and behavior change through communication. The 2015 USAID Annual Report on SPRING showed that in three of its seven target countries, over 4 million people—mostly women and their children under the age of two living in the poorest areas—were reached with improved nutrition education and services.
The Outcome Brochures show how IFPRI’s food policy research has contributed to reducing poverty and improving food security for the world’s poor in a number of key areas. With a focus on a particular country, region, or donor organization, the brochures highlight the outcomes, use or influence of the IFPRI’s research programs.
As part of IFPRI’s 40th Anniversary celebration, 12 stories were published that reflect on the Institute’s work on key issues, such as social protection, gender, nutrition, and partnerships with key countries, including Bangladesh and Ethiopia.
Impact Assessment work examines the policy and development outcomes and contributions to impact of IFPRI's research.
