Program DescriptionOur Human Development Program focuses on various themes such as education, health and so on. Enhancing human capabilities through access to health, nutrition, education, clean water and a clean environment is critical to sustainable development, inclusive growth and strengthening democracy. Development that overlooks inequities in access and participation, and inequalities in outcomes is neither sustainable, nor capable of contributing to long-term growth. Effective, efficient and inclusive systems of service provision are key to attaining development goals. The human development program engages with questions of market and government failures in social service delivery, and produces rigorous, multidisciplinary research into overcoming barriers to system reform, particularly in education and health.
Stunting remains a major global health challenge, especially in Pakistan. This technical note describes the findings of a study assessing a nutrition-related intervention in a low-income community in Karachi, Pakistan. Under a program of monthly home visits, locally recruited community health workers implemented the intervention of nutrition counseling and growth monitoring over a six-month period. The results of the study are encouraging: child height increased and stunting decreased as a result of the program. The program is cost-effective and relatively simple to implement, and the program components can potentially be integrated into existing community health worker programs in Pakistan.
