WEBINAR: Tackling child undernutrition at scale: Insights from national and subnational success cases

1 April 2021.  Tackling child undernutrition at scale: Insights from national and subnational success cases. By IFPRI.

IFPRI’s Stories of Change and Exemplars in Global Health, documented successes in reducing childhood stunting. Lessons from these deep research programs, featured in the newly released Lancet 2021 Series on Maternal and Child Undernutrition, offer hope that big change is possible and provide specific direction for countries striving to accelerate progress on nutrition.

The Series reiterates that previously highlighted interventions continue to be effective at reducing stunting, micronutrient deficiencies, and child deaths and emphasizes the importance of delivering these nutrition interventions within the first 1,000 days of life. However, despite this evidence, program delivery has lagged behind the science and further financing is needed to scale up proven interventions.
