PhD Research

My research looks into what determines short and long-term undernutrition among children. I am also interested in schooling outcomes and which factors affects these - whether teacher, school or home based inputs. To this end, my research also explores the relationship between schooling achievement and poor childhood nutrition using secondary data.
