Nutrition An After Thought?

A 2008 Lancet series categorized nutrition as an “after thought” in development priorities.

To address this and catalyze action among policy makers, a consortia of partners, including the World Bank, UNICEF, WHO, WFP, and  a range of developing country partners, CSOs and bilateral agencies developed a policy brief, Scaling Up Nutrition: A Framework for Action. The brief outlines key considerations, principles and priorities needed to address under-nutrition.

Endorse the Framework for Action

Endorsement by your organizations will help to demonstrate the broad consensus among nutrition experts and advocates about what is needed now to address maternal and child under-nutrition.

Send us your organization's logo by March 15, 2010 to contact  'at' coregroupdc.org
