The problem
Intervention: Women's empowerment in agriculture, measured through the Women Empowerment in Agriculture Index with focus on self-efficacy, asset ownership, and decision-making
Who it was tested with: 847 children aged 6-59 months and their mothers in three districts of Malawi.
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"Data were collected using a case-control design from 847 children aged 6–59 months and their mothers. Empowerment was measured using the project-level Women Empowerment in Agriculture Index, while data on child stunting were collected using anthropometric measurements. Logistic regression results showed..." The study compares stunted and non-stunted children retrospectively to identify associations with women's empowerment factors.
Case-control design establishes association not causation; findings limited to three Malawian districts; the unexpected positive association between self-efficacy and stunting requires further investigation
