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.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOMALNUTRITIONMALNUTRITION IN CHILDRENPOVERTY REDUCTIONCHILD MORTALITYCHILD NUTRITIONDISEASE BURDENDISEASE COMPLICATIONS & SEQUELAEUNDERDEVELOPMENTCHRONIC DISEASESDEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCENUTRITION POLICYNUTRITION PROGRAMSHUMAN DEVELOPMENTPOLICY FORMATIONCONSENSUS APPROACHCASE STUDIES ADOLESCENTSALLIANCESANALYTICAL WORKANEMIAASSESSMENT STUDYBREASTFEEDINGBROAD CONSENSUSCASE STUDIESCHILD DEATHSCHILD MALNUTRITIONCHILD MORTALITYCHILD SURVIVALCONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORKCOUNTRY CASE STUDYCOUNTRY LEVELDECENTRALIZATIONDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPING COUNTRYDEVELOPMENT GOALSDEVELOPMENT NETWORKDEVELOPMENT POLICYDIETARY DIVERSIFICATIONDISEASESECONOMIC PRODUCTIVITYECONOMIC STRUCTUREEDUCATIONEXPENDITURE INFORMATIONEXTERNAL EXPERTSEXTREME POVERTYFINANCIAL SUPPORTFOOD ASSISTANCE PROGRAMSFOOD FORTIFICATIONFOOD POLICYFOOD POLICY RESEARCHFOOD SECURITYGIRLSHEALTHHEALTH CAREHEALTH PROBLEMHEALTH SERVICESHOUSEHOLD FOOD SECURITYHOUSEHOLDSHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN RIGHTSHUNGERINFANT FEEDINGINFANT GROWTHINFANTSINFECTIONINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYINSTITUTIONAL MEANSINSTITUTIONALIZATIONIODINEIODINE DEFICIENCYIODINE DEFICIENCY DISORDERSIRONIRON DEFICIENCYIRON SUPPLEMENTSLOCAL CONDITIONSLOCAL GOVERNMENTSLOCAL REALITIESLONG TERMLOW BIRTH WEIGHTMALNUTRITIONMALNUTRITION RATESMATERNAL NUTRITIONMEDIAMICRONUTRIENT DEFICIENCIESMICRONUTRIENT DEFICIENCYMICRONUTRIENT INTERVENTIONSMICRONUTRIENTSMORTALITYMOTHERSNATIONAL LEVELSNATIONAL NUTRITION PLANSNATIONAL POVERTYNATIONAL POVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGIESNUTRITION INDICATORSNUTRITION POLICIESNUTRITION POLICYNUTRITION PROBLEMSNUTRITION PROGRAMSNUTRITIONAL STATUSNUTRITIONISTSPARENTSPARTNERSHIPPERSONALITYPOLICY CHANGEPOLICY DEVELOPMENTPOLICY PROCESSPOLICY PROCESSESPOLITICAL COMMITMENTPOOR NUTRITIONPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGIESPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGYPOVERTY TRENDSPREGNANCYPREGNANT WOMENPRESCHOOL CHILDRENPRIMARY EDUCATIONPROJECT PLANPROTEINPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC POLICYQUALITY CONTROLREDUCING POVERTYRESEARCH INSTITUTESOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL SECTORSSOCIAL SERVICESSTUNTINGUNDERWEIGHT CHILDRENVITAMIN AVITAMIN A DEFICIENCYVULNERABLE GROUPSWorld Bank10.1596/0-8213-5445-0
