Featured review: Improving access to food in low- and middle-income countries

ConclusionsThis review provides policy makers with a comprehensive evidence base to evaluate the effects of a wide range of community-level interventions to address access to food in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The body of evidence indicates that UCTs can improve food security but the review authors are less sure about the effects of other interventions. Some limitations of the review include not having all necessary information about what outcomes the studies measured, having to make judgements regarding which outcome measures to report and inability to pool the results of all studies reporting on the same outcome. Another limitation was that the review authors were unable to find out what specific intervention features enable or impede the effective implementation of the intervention.Read the full Cochrane systematic reviewVisit the Cochrane Public Health websiteWednesday, July 29, 2020
