Researchers of the Strengthening Economic Evaluation for Multi-sectoral Strategies for Nutrition (SEEMS-Nutrition) project<\/a> participated in virtual workshops and oral presentations at the 2021 Agriculture, Nutrition, and Health (ANH) Academy Week<\/strong> held in late July and early July.\u00a0 The ANH Academy Week is a series of annual events that bring together the community of researchers, practitioners and policymakers working at the intersection of agriculture, food systems, nutrition and health.<\/p>\n


\nOn June 22nd, Project Director Dr. Carol Levin and Research Assistant Esther Choo<\/strong> served as facilitators of a virtual hands-on learning lab titled, “Application of a common approach to measure the costs and benefits of your agriculture, nutrition, health program, project or intervention: A hands on learning experience!”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Participants walked through a training of how to define their economic evaluation question, identify activities and inputs, costs and benefits and map these through to a standardized approach for measuring economic costs and benefits of multi-sectoral nutrition strategies. They were introduced to a set of data collection tools, excel data entry and analysis tools, and then had an opportunity to apply these to a hypothetical complex integrated agriculture, health and nutrition program.<\/p>\n

Participants gained hands on experience through exercises aimed at estimating and reporting results on the benefits and costs of a simplified program.\u00a0 Check out the training materials from the learning lab and from other learning opportunities on the SEEMS-Nutrition Training website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On June 30th, Dr. Levin chaired a session that featured multiple SEEMS-Nutrition team members in an oral presentation panel session titled, “Cost and cost-effectiveness of ANH programs and interventions.”\u00a0 Watch the recorded session<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n
