Other coping capacities can mitigate the impacts of poor food access on household resilience (such as livelihood diversification, migration, remittances, harvesting wild foods), and other survey questions were directed at understanding these.…”

Resilience from the ground up: how are local resilience perceptions and global frameworks aligned?

Numerous resilience measurement frameworks for climate programmes have emerged over the past decade to operationalise the concept and aggregate results within and between programmes. Proxies of resilience, including subjective measures using perception data, have been proposed to measure resilience, but there is limited evidence on their validity and use for policy and practice. This article draws on research on the Decentralising Climate Funds project of the Building Resilience and Adaptation to Climate Extremes and Disasters programme, which supports communities in Mali and Senegal to improve climate resilience through locally controlled adaptation funds. It explores attributes of resilience from this bottom‐up perspective to assess its predictors and alignment with food security, as a proxy of well‐being. We find different patterns when comparing resilience and the well‐being proxy, illustrating that the interplay between the two is still unclear. Results also point to the importance of contextualising resilience, raising implications for aggregating results.

Chronic malnutrition is a major public health concern that is the focus of a large body of scientific research. However, there is no synthesis of knowledge about the factors associated with this disease in West and Central Africa, where its prevalence is particularly high. We conducted a systematic search for scientific articles published between January 1 st , 2000, and October 15 th , 2020, that focus on chronic malnutrition in children in West and Central Africa. We queried CAIRN, PubMed, CINAHL, MEDLINE, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases for this purpose. The search process followed the recommendations of Arksey and O'Malley. Items reported in this review follow the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Sixty articles involving children from a total of twenty (20) countries, mainly Ghana and Nigeria, were included in the final analysis. The data used were predominantly cross-sectional and were mainly drawn from demographic and health surveys. The analysis revealed that chronic malnutrition in children is associated with sociocultural, economic, and healthcare factors related to the characteristics of children, mothers, households, and communities. The association with children's vulnerability to disease, maternal education, purchasing power, and autonomy need to be further investigated in West and Central Africa. Further analysis using longitudinal data is also needed to better understand the factors associated with chronic malnutrition in West and Central Africa.

“…Mali is one of the countries situated in the African meningitis belt, and meningitis has been associated with undernutrition due to reduced immune system ( 11 , 12 ) . In the agricultural regions of Mali, diarrhoea, preterm birth and a low dietary diversity score have been identified as factors associated with chronic malnutrition in children aged 6–24 months ( 13 ) . Additionally, another study conducted in rural Mali demonstrated that increased access to toilet facilities has led to improvements in growth, particularly among children under 2 years old ( 14 ) .…”

Objective: The current study aims to determine household-, maternal- and child-related factors influencing nutritional status among children under five in Mali. Design: Quantitative cross-sectional study using secondary data extracted from Mali DHS-VI 2018. Setting: Urban and rural areas of Mali. Participants: A total of 8908 children participated, with 3999 in the younger age group (0–24 months) and 4909 in the older age group (25–59 months). Results: In the younger age group, the prevalence of stunting, wasting and underweight was 18·8 % (95 % CI%: 17·5, 20·0), 24·6 % (95 % CI: 23·2, 26·0) and 13·2 % (95 % CI: 12·1, 14·3), respectively, while in the older age group, it was 24·9 % (95 % CI: 23·7, 26·2), 22·7 % (95 % CI: 21·5, 24·0) and 5·7 % (95 % CI: 5·0, 6·5), respectively. Being average or large size at birth, having piped source of water, receiving Zn, deworming, high maternal BMI, receiving Fe during pregnancy, higher maternal education and being rich were associated with lower odds of one or more form of undernutrition in both groups. On the other hand, children who were anaemic, drank from a bottle, maternal anaemia, current pregnancy of mothers and living in rural areas were associated with higher odds of stunting, wasting or underweight. Interestingly, children who received Fe supplementation had a higher odds of wasting in the younger group but lower odds of all forms of undernutrition in the older group. Conclusions: This study emphasised the potential risk factors associated with undernutrition in children. Children who consume non-potable water, have mothers with lower levels of education and BMI and reside in rural areas are more likely to experience undernutrition.
