Dr Marion Kraemer is a development economist with a particular expertise in nutrition and child development. In her Ph.D., that she has earned from the University of Goettingen, Germany, in 2017, she rigorously evaluated three different micronutrient interventions that aimed at improving child health and development in India and other low- and middle-income countries. During her Ph.D. she has spent several months in Bihar, collecting socioeconomic, health, and nutrition related data of 2,000 primary school children. Afterwards she continued working on nutrition-related topics as a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Goettingen. Dr Kraemer has extensive experiences in academia, as well as in the field of practical development cooperation (GIZ, German Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development, UNICEF, Grameen Bank).

Can double-fortified salt in school mid-day meals help reduce anaemia?
Micronutrient malnutrition is a major risk factor for more than half of the daily under-five deaths in India. It leads to iron-deficiency anaemia, which especially affects pregnant women, and young and adolescent children. Based on an intervention in Bihar, this article estimates the impact of supplying double-fortified salt in mid-day meals in schools on anaemia as well as cognition and educational outcomes of second-grade children.
