SEEMS-Nutrition (“Strengthening Economic Evaluation for Multisectoral Strategies for Nutrition”) is an exciting new three-year initiative to strengthen evidence of the costs and benefits of multisectoral nutrition strategies. In Spring 2019, R4D surveyed the multisectoral nutrition community to understand areas of opportunity to support greater use of economic evidence in decision-making. Results from this survey were presented to the SEEMS-Nutrition Policy Advisory Group and are shown here, along with key questions for consideration.
With new and emerging data coupled with a strong understanding of what evidence decision-makers need and in what form (including funders, policy-makers, program planners and others), we hope that this work will help generate improved evidence to support decisions on scaling up multisectoral nutrition programs across countries.
SEEMS-Nutrition is led by Project Director Carol Levin from the University of Washington Department of Global Health, with Helen Keller International, IFPRI and R4D, and with funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
