Nutrition systems strengthening interventions targeting children vs no intervention or standard care to reduce stunting (height‐for‐age, length at 18 months)

Nutrition systems strengthening interventions targeting children may leads to higher height‐for‐age (z‐score) at 18 months compared with no intervention or standard care to reduce stunting (height‐for‐age,… (low certainty).
