Abstract

This report highlights the global nature of malnutrition and the successes and bottlenecks in addressing it. Malnutrition continues to affect the lives of millions of children and women worldwide. Every country is affected by some form of nutrition problem. This calls for countries to put in place appropriate strategies to overcome the problem in a concerted manner. It highlights areas for action, contributes to strengthened nutrition accountability, and guides as well as provides a yardstick for alliances across the supply chains for food and health, work with which WFP is intimately involved.
