Diets, Affordability and Policy in Ethiopia: From Evidence to Action
Addis Ababa | December 12, 2019
Background
Stunting- failure to grow to an expected height for age
Consequences of stunting
- higher risk of mortality,
- poor cognitive performance,
- low productivity and earnings in later life
(Black et al., 2008/2013)
- Higher risk of chronic diseases in later-life
(Uauy et al.,2008)

Framing “healthy” complementary diets
 Healthy diets are defined in various ways, but they generally need to be
adequate in:
1. Quantity: adequate energy intake for healthy growth
2. Diversity: a variety of food groups providing varying levels and types
of nutrients
3. Quality: contains needed macro-and micro-nutrients without
unhealthy additives, trans-fats, added sugar, etc.
4. Safety: microbial/chemically safe to consume
 What do we know about children’s diet in Ethiopia?
HLPE. 2017. Nutrition and food systems. A report by the High Level Panel of Experts on Food Security and Nutrition of the Committee on World Food Security, Rome.
PAHO/WHO. 2004. Guiding principles of complementary feeding
1. Quantity
 Energy and nutrient intake is relatively low in rural areas
 Amount of food consumed/meal is low
10-30 % of the theoretical gastric capacity
 % of children (6-23 months) that meet the MMF is 45% (DHS, 2016)
o59% urban
o43% rural
oLowest quintile 38%
oHighest quintile 55%

2. Dietary diversity (min. 5 out of 8)
 from 4.4 % (2011) to 12.5% (2016)
 MDDS is consistently associated

3. Quality
 Studies on the proportion of unhealthy food in the diets of infants and young
children in Ethiopia are scant (focus remains on undernutrition)
 Growing consumption of sweets and cookies are appearing in the diets of the
rural poor, high sugar intake with tea, etc.
 Ultra-processed (high-sugar/salt) foods were consumed by 14 % of infants
and young children in rural Wollo (FFV, 2017)
 Clearly more data is needed
4. Safety
 Not captured in routine national surveys
 Some estimates of the burden of foodborne
diseases exists from WHO
Ethiopia categorized in the high burden region
 Diarrheal counts can give us an idea of the risks
 Missed opportunities in preventing stunting in 2019: LiST model

Baye, K (in press) Prioritizing the scale-up of evidence-based nutrition and health interventions to accelerate stunting reduction in Ethiopia. Nutrients .
Interventions to improve complementary foods
 Most interventions are led by the MoH, but also supported by other sector
ministries (e.g. MoAG)
 Consists of nutrition education, cooking demonstrations, promotion of home-
gardens…
 Largely focuses on improving knowledge of caregivers about how to feed a child
 Little focus on improving maternal diet and health status
 Focus is often on what the child should eat, and little on how to
What can be done to improve diets more effectively?
Maternal nutrition/health
A WDDS of >4 food groups during pregnancy was shown to be associated with lower
risk of maternal anemia, LBW, and PTB.
Zerfu, Umeta & Baye (2016). Am J Clin Nutr.
Dairy, fruits, and DGL vegetables are associated with lower risk of adverse pregnancy
outcomes
Zerfu, Pinto & Baye (2018). Nutr & Diabetes
Low breastmilk vitamin A conc. is prevalent in rural Ethiopia
Abebe, Haki, Schweigert, Henkel & Baye (2018). Eur J Clin Nutr
Maternal dietary diversity is associated with child dietary diversity
Nguyen et al (2013) J. Nutr
Also note that food preference starts in utero
Important role can be played by the FBDG that is being prepared
Poor caregiver-child feeding interactions are associated with:
- Sub-optimal food/energy intake
- Stunting
Culturally adapted responsive feeding messages improve food intake
(Kassay, Mouquet & Baye- manuscript under preparation)
Abebe, Desse & Baye (2017). Appetite
Baye, Tariku & Mouquet (2017). Maternal Child Nutr.
Caregiver feeding style
Only few HEWs are knowledgeable about what responsive feeding means
Implications: increased attention to how the child is fed in BCC materials
Abebe, Desse & Baye (2016). Food & Nutr Bull.
Maternal depression
 In PSNP households in Wollo, maternal post-partum depression
(EPDS≥13) was prevalent (22.8 %) and was significantly associated
with:
o inappropriate complementary feeding
o stunting (P <0.05)

Key messages
 Improving quality of children’s diet is a top priority- not just for meeting
nutrientsa triple-duty action
 Improving diets should not be a long-term goal- urgently needed!
 Improving diet quality is possible, but interventions across the food systems
are needed to make nutrient-dense foods available, accessible, and
affordable
 Narrowing inequalities (e.g. through nutrition-sensitive social protections)
 More comprehensive diet quality measures are needed and clearly data on
“unhealthy” food consumption and safety of CFs are needed
Thank you!

Diets and stunting in Ethiopia

  • 2. Background Stunting- failure to grow to an expected height for age Consequences of stunting - higher risk of mortality, - poor cognitive performance, - low productivity and earnings in later life (Black et al., 2008/2013) - Higher risk of chronic diseases in later-life (Uauy et al.,2008) SOWC, 2019

  • 5. Framing “healthy” complementary diets  Healthy diets are defined in various ways, but they generally need to be adequate in: 1. Quantity: adequate energy intake for healthy growth 2. Diversity: a variety of food groups providing varying levels and types of nutrients 3. Quality: contains needed macro-and micro-nutrients without unhealthy additives, trans-fats, added sugar, etc. 4. Safety: microbial/chemically safe to consume  What do we know about children’s diet in Ethiopia? HLPE. 2017. Nutrition and food systems. A report by the High Level Panel of Experts on Food Security and Nutrition of the Committee on World Food Security, Rome. PAHO/WHO. 2004. Guiding principles of complementary feeding
  • 6. 1. Quantity  Energy and nutrient intake is relatively low in rural areas  Amount of food consumed/meal is low 10-30 % of the theoretical gastric capacity  % of children (6-23 months) that meet the MMF is 45% (DHS, 2016) o59% urban o43% rural oLowest quintile 38% oHighest quintile 55% Abebe, Desse & Baye (2017)-Maternal Child Nutr.

  • 9. 3. Quality  Studies on the proportion of unhealthy food in the diets of infants and young children in Ethiopia are scant (focus remains on undernutrition)  Growing consumption of sweets and cookies are appearing in the diets of the rural poor, high sugar intake with tea, etc.  Ultra-processed (high-sugar/salt) foods were consumed by 14 % of infants and young children in rural Wollo (FFV, 2017)  Clearly more data is needed
  • 10. 4. Safety  Not captured in routine national surveys  Some estimates of the burden of foodborne diseases exists from WHO Ethiopia categorized in the high burden region  Diarrheal counts can give us an idea of the risks

  • 12. Interventions to improve complementary foods  Most interventions are led by the MoH, but also supported by other sector ministries (e.g. MoAG)  Consists of nutrition education, cooking demonstrations, promotion of home- gardens…  Largely focuses on improving knowledge of caregivers about how to feed a child  Little focus on improving maternal diet and health status  Focus is often on what the child should eat, and little on how to

  • 15. Poor caregiver-child feeding interactions are associated with: - Sub-optimal food/energy intake - Stunting Culturally adapted responsive feeding messages improve food intake (Kassay, Mouquet & Baye- manuscript under preparation) Abebe, Desse & Baye (2017). Appetite Baye, Tariku & Mouquet (2017). Maternal Child Nutr.

  • 22. Key messages  Improving quality of children’s diet is a top priority- not just for meeting nutrientsa triple-duty action  Improving diets should not be a long-term goal- urgently needed!  Improving diet quality is possible, but interventions across the food systems are needed to make nutrient-dense foods available, accessible, and affordable  Narrowing inequalities (e.g. through nutrition-sensitive social protections)  More comprehensive diet quality measures are needed and clearly data on “unhealthy” food consumption and safety of CFs are needed
