View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN)'s "Transforming Food Systems to Improve Diet Quality and Resilience for the Most Vulnerable" program seeks to improve consumption of healthy foods by improving supply, increasing demand, and improving the enabling environment for different targeted foods in 4 countries by operating at multiple levels - individuals, households, markets, producers, and policies. RTI and local partners propose to conduct impact and process evaluations of GAIN's program tailored to the theory of change and the target foods for Mozambique. The evaluation in Mozambique will include a mix of quantitative and qualitative methods and will be guided by the RE-AIM (reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation, and maintenance) implementation research framework.
