Approximately a third of the world’s children face lifelong economic and social disadvantage because of poor nutrition during pregnancy and in the first two years of life. A significant proportion of these children are disadvantaged because of unbalanced diets that lead to obesity and its associated health challenges. Malnutrition is a phenomenon with many aspects, not all of them immediately apparent.

Analysis of efforts to tackle malnutrition conducted by The Lancet originally in 2008 and again in 2013 indicates that a range of specific interventions exist that can help people enjoy good nutritional status. Experience shows that they are most effective if national development strategies are sensitive to the underlying determinants of people’s nutritional status.
