  abstract = {{I}n sub-{S}aharan {A}frica ({SSA}), rapid urbanisation coupled with the high prevalence of infant and young child ({IYC}) undernutrition in low-income settings means that interventions to support {IYC} nutrition are a priority. {L}ittle is known about how urbanisation influences {IYC} feeding ({IYCF}) practices, and evidence-based interventions to improve {IYC} health/nutrition in the urban poor are lacking. {T}herefore, this research aimed to (a) systematically review evidence on interventions for improving the nutritional status of {IYC} aged 6-23 months living in urban poor areas ({PROSPERO} {CRD}42018091265) and (b) engage stakeholders to identify the highest ranking evidence gaps for improving {IYCF} programmes/policies. {F}irst, a rapid systematic review was conducted. {T}his focused on the literature published regarding nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive complementary feeding interventions in urban poor areas, specifically low-income informal settlements, in low- and middle-income countries ({LMIC}s). {S}ix intervention studies met the review inclusion criteria. {I}ntervention adherence was generally high, and indicators of maternal knowledge and {IYC} nutritional intake typically increased because of the interventions, but the impact on anthropometric status was small. {S}econd, stakeholders working across {SSA} were engaged via a {D}elphi-based approach to identify priority areas for future intervention. {S}takeholders reported that a situational analysis was required to better understand {IYCF} in urban poor areas, particularly the causes of {IYC} undernutrition, and highlighted the need to involve local communities in defining how future work should proceed. {T}ogether, these findings indicate a need for more evidence regarding {IYCF} and the factors that drive it in urban poor areas across {LMIC} settings, but particularly in {SSA}.},
