This policy brief presents cost estimates for implementing key nutrition interventions in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and compares the cost-effectiveness of several scale-up options. The goal of the analysis is to aid the Government of the DRC in setting priorities by identifying the most cost-effective packages of interventions and by leveraging additional resources from domestic budgets and development partners.

This Knowledge Brief presents a profile of the nutrition situation in Mali and cost estimates for implementing key nutrition interventions. It then compares the cost-effectiveness of several scale-up options. The goal of the analysis is to aid the Government of Mali in setting priorities by identifying the most cost-effective packages of interventions and to help leverage additional resources from domestic budgets and development partners.

This knowledge brief presents the cost of scaling up key effective nutrition interventions in Nigeria and compares different scale-up scenarios to determine which one produces the best results for the lowest cost. The goal of the analysis is to aid the Government of Nigeria in setting priorities by identifying the most cost-effective packages of interventions and by leveraging additional resources from domestic budgets and development partners. This analysis is complemented by a fiscal space analysis of the Save One Million Lives (SOML) program in Nigeria (Results for Development 2014). These results will be useful to decision makers as they plan future efforts to scale up interventions to address malnutrition in Nigeria and develop nutrition financing plans that bring together the health, education, and agriculture sectors. The health sector must include the costs of plans for financing universal health coverage and SOML within its nutrition pillar. Several opportunities exist for incorporating these highly cost-effective interventions into the World Bank’s current and planned investments in health, and education.
