dc.description.abstractThis study considers factors of rising purchase prices and droughts; the two most pronounced shocks Senegalese subsistence farmers struggle with. The research assesses their relationship to child health, in a ‘multi-shock’ approach to account for concomitance of adverse events from the natural, biological, economic and health spheres. The 2011 droughts and increased prices explain up to 44% and 21% respectively, of the standard deviation of child health. The concomitance of droughts and increased prices after implementation of the Nutrition Enhancement Program, indicates that the health of children experiencing both types of shocks has improved.en
