Jessica Anderson is a graduate of MA in International Security and Development. In the Summer of 2019, she spent a few months in Oaxaca, Mexico, carrying out research with Crecemos, an AVSI-USA long-term partner. Her work culminated in a case study in which she evaluates the effectiveness of Crecemos’ localized nutrition interventions over five years and examines the influence of interlinking areas in a child’s life such as education, recreational sports and arts, family relationships, and food preferences. The study demonstrated conclusively that Crecemos’ programs are effective over time. 

We strongly encourage you to read the article and look at the case study links published about her Master’s thesis research in Oaxaca, Mexico in partnership with AVSI-USA and Crecemos - DIJO.
