“…published standardized anthropometric variables for measuring children's growth, including length/height-for-age (HAZ), weight-for-age (WAZ), weight-for-length, weight-for-height, and body mass index-for-age. Of these variables, HAZ is most commonly used to indicate the prevalence of stunting among children, especially in developing countries (Garoma et al, 2017;Perumal et al, 2018). They are stunted when the children's measurement (HAZ) is more than two standard deviations below the WHO Child Growth Standards median (World Health Organization, 2015).…”

This study aims to investigate the connection between conditional cash transfers (CCTs) and stunting and identify the factors contributing to stunting among Indonesia’s poor. The analysis relies on the data collected in 2007 and 2009. Infants aged 0–36 months from families receiving CCTs were compared with a control group using the randomized controlled trial (RCT) method. These infants from poor households, who were stunted, and were not exclusively breastfed, were selected randomly. The data were analyzed using logistic regression with the STATA program (v.13). The research findings show that CCTs alone can not impact the prevalence of stunting. In order to optimize the effectiveness of the CCT scheme, factors related to the mother’s age at childbirth, education, employment, the sex of the household head, and the geographic condition should be taken into account. This research would reinforce the need for CCT programs linked closely in design with effective social behavior change programs. The study recommends further research examining how CCT would impact stunting among groups in low-income families.

“…The CTP are present in several middle and low income countries (Garoma et al, 2017;Pase & Corbo Melo, 2017;Souza Cruz, Moura, & Neto, 2017) and also in high income countries (Loopstra, 2018) as a state intervention strategy in reducing hunger, stimulating the use of public services by the population, focusing in the social inclusion of vulnerable groups (Keith-Jennings, Llobrera, & Dean, 2019;Walque, Fernald, Gertler, & Hidrobo, 2017).…”

Objetivo: Investigar o perfil epidemiológico de famílias residentes em municípios litorâneos do Nordeste brasileiro, considerando que estão cadastradas no Programa Brasileiro de Transferência de Renda (CTP). Métodos: Estudo transversal envolvendo amostra probabilística de 1.444 famílias representativas da região. Foi utilizado um questionário semiestruturado previamente testado, contendo questões sobre variáveis socioeconômicas, demográficas, antropométricas e de saúde, e também sobre a situação de segurança alimentar e nutricional durante as visitas domiciliares. As características da família foram simultaneamente beneficiadas e não beneficiadas pelo PSF que foi comparado. Os resultados foram expressos em proporções (%), com a respectiva razão de prevalência de intervalo de confiança de 95% como medida de associação, por meio de análise de regressão de Poisson com ajuste robusto de variância. Resultados: Havia 729 (50,5%) famílias cadastradas no PSF. As variáveis que melhor discriminaram as famílias beneficiadas pelo programa foram: escolaridade da dona de casa <4 anos (P = 0,010; RP: 1,16; IC 95%: 1,03-1,30); pertencer à classe econômica D ou E (P <0,001; RP: 1,30; IC 95%: 1,12-1,51); renda materna (P <0,001; RP: 0,50; IC 95%: 0,42-0,61); família em situação de insegurança alimentar (P <0,001; RP: 1,29; IC 95%: 1,13-1,47); maior número de moradores por domicílio (P <0,001; RP: 1,48; IC 95%: 1,34-1,64). Conclusões: As famílias beneficiadas pelo CTP apresentavam os piores indicadores socioeconômicos e demográficos e encontravam-se com maior frequência em situação de insegurança alimentar (72,0%).

“…Timing and amount of cash transfers have been shown to be important variables. The evidence regarding the impact of conditional cash transfers on child nutritional outcomes within sub-Saharan Africa is beginning to be summarised (15). However, there is now a need to examine combination interventions within a broader social protection paradigm, to identify specific combinations of social protection that provide maximum traction for improved child nutritional outcomes.…”

The food of life: an evaluation of the impact of cash grant receipt and good parenting on child nutrition outcomes in South Africa and Malawi

Social protection interventions (inclusive of cash grant receipt and care provision) have been found to be effective in response to some of the negative implications of the HIV epidemic on children and families. This study explores the impact of cash grant receipt and care provision (operationalised as good parenting) on child nutritional outcomes. In this cross-sectional study, 854 children and younger adolescents (5–15 years) and caregivers affected by HIV, attending community-based organisations in South Africa and Malawi, were interviewed. Interviews comprised inventories on socio-demographic information, family data, cash grant receipt and child nutrition. Parenting was measured using a composite scale. Logistic regression and marginal effects analyses were used to explore the associations between differing levels of social protection (none; either cash or good parenting; cash and good parenting) and child nutritional outcomes. One hundred and sixty children (20.3%) received neither cash nor good parenting; 501 (63.5%) received either cash or good parenting and 128 (16.2%) received both cash and good parenting. In comparison to no intervention, receipt of either cash or good parenting was significantly associated with child non-stunting, the child having sufficient food, and the child not looking thin. Three (3/7) nutritional outcomes showed increased improvement amongst children receiving both cash and good parenting care including child-reported non-hunger, child non-stunting and parental report of sufficient food. Marginal effects analyses further identified an additive effect of cash and good parenting on child nutritional outcomes. This study indicates that receipt of combined cash and good parenting, when compared to cash grant receipt alone, has positive effects on nutrition-related child outcomes.
