The purpose of the policy brief is to provide an outline of the emerging framework of key considerations, principles and priorities for action to address undernutrition and to mobilize support for increased investment in a set of nutrition interventions across different sectors. Thus, the intended audience is principally policymakers and opinion leaders, rather than nutrition specialists.
Content - Summary
The main elements of the framework for action are:
1) Start from the principle that what ultimately matters is what happens at the country level.
2) Sharply scale up evidence-based cost-effective interventions to prevent and treat undernutrition, with highest priority to the minus 9 to 24 month window of opportunity where we get the highest returns from investments.
3) Take a multi-sectoral approach that includes integrating nutrition in related sectors and using indicators of undernutrition as one of the key measures of overall progress in these sectors.
4) Provide substantially scaled up domestic and external assistance for countryowned nutrition programmes and capacity.
