3ie/AUSAID review on maternal mortality/morbidity and nutrition

ARCH was awarded a highly competitive grant to undertake a research synthesis addressing the role of nutrition in preventing maternal mortality, which relates to Millennium Development Goal 5.

We have been joined by colleagues from Vietnam and Pakistan and we are also working with the Campbell Collaboration, a sister organisation to the Cochrane Collaboration. The Campbell Collaboration prepares, maintains and disseminates systematic reviews in education, crime and justice, social welfare and international development.
