Malnutrition is a major challenge to human development and to the future economic growth of developing countries. Malnutrition affects one in 3 people globally, particularly women and children.
The new global nutrition strategy sets out how the UK plans to deliver results and show leadership on tackling global under nutrition.
This will include scaling up work to address the needs of young children, particularly focusing on the first two years, to prevent stunting, wasting and micronutrient deficiencies. The UK will also put girls and women at the heart of our work on global nutrition; particularly targeting unequal access to food, water and other essential services. Alongside this, the UK will take action to prevent famine by helping countries to build their resilience to drought and other shocks.
