ORIE Research Summary 5

Gender Inequality and Maternal and Child Nutrition in Northern Nigeria

Published on 9 May 2014

This summary provides an overview of how gender inequality impacts maternal and child nutrition in Northern Nigeria.

The research had two main purposes: (1) to increase understanding of the pathways by which gender inequality is linked with poor maternal and child nutritional outcomes and (2) to formulate a set of gender-related questions which ORIE research will address in order to provide information on how to address gender-related issues that influence maternal and child nutrition and the uptake of health and nutrition services.
