Project Lead(s): James Tumwine
Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) has been associated with better cognition in some developed countries. In this project, scientists from Makerere University (Uganda) and Centre Muraz (Burkina Faso) will assess whether EBF promotion enhances human capital formation, including cognitive function, mental and general health, among a cohort of 5- to 7-year-old children.
