“…When compared with WHO guidelines for child feeding, these data suggest it is unlikely Liberian children receive more nutritious foods with the frequency they require. The data confirm one recent report on Liberian agricultural value chains, which noted, "children continue to eat mostly rice-laden meals with palm oil" [28]. The data presented in Table 2 thus answer the first two research questions because the item measures show the foods most often given to children are lower in nutritional value and the foods least often given to children have higher nutritional values.…”

“…The trend illustrates time and resources constraints in implementing evaluation studies of ongoing projects. Much less often, some papers refer to the implementation of policies or broad socio-educative projects [18][19][20][21]. Among these cases, more solid methodological approaches are presented, supported by analysis of primary and secondary data and comparative studies.…”

“…More comprehensive accounts were made in the assessment of interventions combining social and educational elements targeting small-scale farmers' families in two African countries, one in Malawi [18] and the other in Liberia [21]. Both projects intended to contribute to children's health and well-being by promoting the farming business of local farmers, and the evaluation studies used preand post-comparative studies with matched control groups.…”
