Exemplars in Global Health: A Tool to Help Achieve Progress on Maternal Anemia

How does vaccine coverage impact stunting? Was it a key factor in any of the stunting exemplar countries?

How should  policy-makers  think about whether to invest in nutrition sensitive or nutrition specific interventions? What is the relative contribution of each in reducing stunting rates?

What was the role of cash transfers in reducing stunting in Exemplar countries?

How important are investments in Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene in reducing stunting across Exemplar countries? How does the observed impact in Exemplar countries relate to the recent mixed RCT results?
