Nutrition & Public Health
Research, analysis, and field reports on nutrition and public health challenges across Kenya.
The most-evidenced window in maternal and child health hasn't moved Kenya's stunting curve as much as it should. A view from both the clinical bedside and the partnerships desk on why — and what the next decade needs.
The standard postpartum nutrition guidance is technically correct and practically insufficient. What real Kenyan postpartum recovery actually requires — and where the curriculum falls short.
Kenya has 4–5 million camels and a public-health asset hiding in plain sight. Why camel milk doesn't reach most Kenyans, and the integrated investment that would change that.
What separates the school feeding programmes that move learning and nutrition outcomes from the ones that just deliver a photo-op. Six factors, five fixes, and what better policy would do.
African indigenous vegetables are back on the Nairobi shelf — and now cost more than sukuma. The science, the comeback story, who profited, and the public-health policy moves still missing.
Between the under-five window and antenatal care lies a 15-year nutritional silence. Why adolescent-girl nutrition is Kenya's quietest gap — and the highest-leverage intervention nobody is pitching.
Why Kenya's stunting rate has stalled at one in five, what's missing from the standard playbook, and the cross-sectoral policy moves that would actually shift the curve.
Why iron supplements alone don't solve maternal anaemia in Kenya — and what the ANC conversation should actually cover. A clinical and policy view from a Kenyan nutritionist.
