4. Indirect Nutrition Interventions
Indirect nutrition interventions seek to have an effect on the underlying cause of child under nutrition depicted on the UNICEF conceptual framework. This section reviews the global evidence on the effectiveness of such interventions in reducing child under nutrition, and then reviews Nigeria approaches with these interventions, particularly in the North.

An indirect nutrition intervention is an intervention which seeks to have an effect on the underlying cause of child under nutrition depicted on the UNICEF conceptual framework. They include the kinds of interventions listed in the middle box of the framework: interventions to improve agriculture and food production, household income and food security, social protection, gender roles and relations, health services, and access to improved water and sanitation.

This section reviews the global evidence on the effectiveness of such interventions in reducing child under nutrition, and then reviews Nigeria approaches with these interventions, particularly in the North. Some of these approaches are already incorporated into other DFID-funded programmes in Nigeria, and some could be embedded into the WUINNN or other DFID programmes.
