Abstract: Non-PR<br />IFPRI3; Alive and Thrive; CRP4; 2 Promoting Healthy Diets and Nutrition for all; DCA<br />PHND; A4NH<br />CGIAR Research Program on Agriculture for Nutrition and Health (A4NH)<br />Adolescence is a critical period of physical and psychological development, especially for girls as poor nutrition can affect their well-being as well as the well-being of their children. In Ethiopia, where the population is very young, evidence on the nutrition of adolescent girls and their determinants is scant. We tested the impact of a package of nutrition interventions delivered primarily through schools and implemented by Alive & Thrive (A&T) on the diet of adolescent girls.
