Resumen
Descripción
Nutrition has been sidelined for too
long. Reducing malnutrition is central to reducing poverty.
Malnutrition is implicated in half of all child deaths, and
causes much illness and cognitive underdevelopment. As the
growing evidence demonstrates, fetal and young children
malnutrition, threatens survival, growth, and development in
childhood, and, it increases the risk of chronic diseases in
later life. The Millennium Development Goals cannot be
reached without significant efforts to eliminate
malnutrition. The book looks at ways to combat malnutrition,
by positioning nutrition directly on the poverty and human
development policy agenda, to ensure large-scale nutrition
actions, and develop capacity to address malnutrition. It
provides key findings on the nutritional status, and the
broad consensus on what needs to be done, through the
analyses of the evolution of policy narratives, country case
studies, and workshops, that are behind the headlines, in
order to show how policy changes in nutrition happen, what
influences these processes, and, what lessons can be learned
for the future.
