Popis: A scoping review will be undertaken to describe and appraise policies in Ethiopia that address the multiple dimensions of care including nutrition, health, child development, food and social welfare through the lens of managing small and nutritionally at-risk infants under 6 months and their mothers. To help fill a critical evidence gap in community based care for small and nutritionally at risk infants under 6 months, the MAMI Care Pathway (an integrated care model) is being tested in Ethiopia in a north-south research partnership that includes a pragmatic RCT, formative research and process evaluation (www.ennonline.net/ourwork/research/mamiriseethiopia). Findings will be used to evidence national and international policy and practice with the ultimate aim of achieving scalable sustainable care for small and nutritionally at-risk infants under 6 months and their mothers. Understanding, accounting for and responding to the national policy context is critical to ensure that the evidence generated meet the needs of national decision-makers and to support the research uptake process.
