The purpose of this final project is to review the literature for a specific country, on a specific problem in maternal or child nutrition that particularly interests you. First, select a low- or middle-income country (or smaller region within a country) in which to anchor your research so that you can assess a nutrition-related problem within a specific context. You are encouraged to reference the UNICEF framework and consider how, in the context of your chosen country, different nutritional pathways particularly impact the problem you are researching. You will have to be concise and decide on the most important concepts to communicate. You are encouraged to use scientific papers and reviews, course readings, and lectures as resources. The paper should include the following sections:
Background and Significance: What is the problem or issue? Define it and describe how it is diagnosed or assessed. How prevalent is it? Why is it important to address? What are the short- and long-term consequences at the individual and community/population level?
Context of the Problem: What are the immediate and underlying causes of the problem at the individual and household level? What is the socio-political, geographical, and economic context of the problem?
Current Policies and Interventions: What existing policies or interventions are in place to address this problem? Have there been any government initiatives or interventions? Are there any major NGOs or non-profits working to address this issue? What are the strengths/weaknesses of the effectiveness of existing policies/interventions?
Proposed Initiative: Discuss your proposed initiative to address this problem. How does your intervention alleviate the problem at the individual, community, and/or policy level? What are the potential limitations of your initiative?
References: State the sources you used for this paper as you would in an original paper.
