This recent paper looks at different methods used to assess cost-benefit of addressing undernutrition generally, though many of the same considerations could apply to wasting. I'm not aware of any studies specifically addressing the interventions you mention.

Hope this is of some help, and apologies for the late reply!

Thanks Chloe! Seems like an excellent study

Two questions

1. Are there others, specifically amongst WB, who have conducted such a study within a country? It seems as though most of the cost benefit analyes on scaling up programming are at a global level? It would be great to see a CBA, CEA, or even a unit costing specific to a country?

2. Is there somewhere to obtain access to this paper for those of us who don't have institutional access?

Thanks very much

Dear Sir,

I read the abstract and found that it is interesting. I kindly request you to share the article.

Thanks for the support!

Hi both,
I can send you a copy of the recent paper privately via ResearchGate, if you are able to follow this link and send me a request.

I agree that most of the costing on scaling up is done at the global level, however there are a growing number of project-level cost and cost-effectiveness analyses relevant to undernutrition. I'm linking a few here, and a google scholar search might give you more.

Hi there,
As part of a research team conducting a few field studies (CEA) on malnutrition right now, I would like to share two more references that you might find useful in addition to Chloe's great list!

LRDO - Organization has assessed nutritional needs that it is hazardous stages / specially under five, infants , pregnant mothers & lactating mothers & even there is no any save motherhood & save childhood plans in Somalia since 2009 now everything about food security issues are in crisis, also there is no public or private institutions or organization is ready to help these vulnerable people in malnutrition crisis even Somali women riverine farmers are in desperate need to be supported within the fruit & vegetable seed supplies

thanks a lot
