Abstract
The World Bank report Repositioning
Nutrition as Central to Development (2006) explicitly
recommended improving nutrition by not only working through
the health sector, but also in non-health sectors such as
agriculture and education. This report provides descriptive
and financial profiles of the Bank's recent portfolio
in nutrition (from FY2000 to late FY2006) to note the extent
to which the Bank has actually gone outside the health
sector to work on nutrition. In this period, 41 projects
were assigned a theme of "food and nutrition
security." Just over half of them (22 out of 41) had
nutrition-related components or activities. Of these 22
projects, half fell within the health sector, and half fell outside.
