Programme Participation Intensity and Children’s Nutritional Status: Evidence from a Randomised Control Trial in Mozambique
研究莫桑比克一个农业与营养强化综合项目对儿童饮食的影响，发现参与强度越大，效果越好，为未来项目设计提供参考。
Agricultural interventions are thought to have the potential to improve nutrition, but little rigorous evidence is available about programmes that link the two. In this article, we study impacts of an integrated agricultural and nutritional biofortification project, the REU in Mozambique. We first provide evidence on dietary impacts of the programme and then examine impacts of the programme by participation intensity. Using OLS and IV techniques, we find that more intense participation in both project components led to larger impacts. The results therefore have important implications for refining the design of future projects attempting to link agricultural and nutrition interventions.
