The document summarizes the 2010 Global Hunger Index. It finds that 29 countries have alarming or extremely alarming levels of hunger. Child undernutrition contributes nearly half of the global hunger score. Countries need to accelerate progress in improving child nutrition in order to improve their scores. The window from 9 months before to 24 months after birth is critical, and interventions should target the underlying conditions that cause undernutrition.

Keynote: Keeping the Complexities of Multidimensional Nutrition Strategies Si...CORE Group
This document summarizes the CORE Group's multi-dimensional approaches to nutrition from their perspective. It discusses how malnutrition has historically been a silent crisis, but that a revolution began in 2008 with publications highlighting the broken global nutrition system. Since then, funding and commitments to addressing undernutrition have increased, though more work remains to be done to scale proven interventions. The document outlines the CORE Group's strategy, which takes a multi-pronged approach including increasing understanding of nutrition determinants; introducing and testing new solutions; improving data, analytics and evidence; enhancing advocacy, policy and alignment; and integrating nutrition and food systems. The overarching goal is for all women and children to have the nutrition they need for healthy, productive lives

[2] It then discusses the main causes of child death in Uganda and outlines the components of the GOBI-FFF strategy: G (growth monitoring), O (oral rehydration salts), B (breastfeeding), I (immunization), F (family planning), F (food supplementation), and F (female literacy). [3] For each component, it provides some additional details on recommended practices.
The document discusses maternal and child health in Kenya, noting that 189,000 children under five die there each year. While Kenya has made some progress toward UN Millennium Development Goals for reducing child and maternal mortality, progress has been insufficient or nonexistent. Simple, affordable solutions exist but require political will and implementation of high-impact interventions to expand access to healthcare, clean water, nutrition, and more. World Vision contributes to these efforts through various maternal, newborn, child health and nutrition programs in Kenya.

USAID Nutrition Strategy_Mellen Tanamly_5.8.14CORE Group
The document outlines USAID's new Multi-Sectoral Nutrition Strategy for 2014-2025. The strategy was developed through an extensive consultation process with technical experts and stakeholders. It aims to guide USAID's nutrition policies and programs to improve nutrition and advance development goals. Key elements include focusing on the first 1,000 days of life, implementing both nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive interventions, integrating development and emergency responses, emphasizing national commitment and capacity building, and regularly reviewing progress towards global 2025 nutrition targets. The strategy will be launched in May 2014 along with guidance for operationalizing it in partner countries.
This report from the UN Inter-agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation provides estimates of under-five, infant and neonatal mortality rates globally and by country/region. It finds that while progress has been made towards reducing child mortality, current rates of reduction remain insufficient to achieve Millennium Development Goal 4 by 2015. Under-five mortality is still highest in Sub-Saharan Africa and Southern Asia. Neonatal deaths now account for over 40% of under-five mortality globally. The report analyzes trends and presents the latest estimates to monitor progress towards improving child survival worldwide.
Derek Headey discusses measuring food and nutrition security in Egypt. He outlines key concepts like ensuring all people have access to sufficient, safe food at all times. To measure this requires a menu of indicators like calories, poverty, dietary diversity, and nutrition outcomes. However, each indicator has strengths and weaknesses. He emphasizes validating context-specific indicators like dietary diversity. Measurement systems must adhere to principles like representative, frequent surveys. Higher frequency data is needed to monitor resilience, but this could be achieved through lower-cost thin surveys between thick rounds.
An examination of the dynamics of nutrition program implementation in Ethiopi...essp2
1) The study assessed facilitators and constraints to implementing Ethiopia's National Nutrition Program (NNP) at national and sub-national levels. It found that while the NNP design considered multi-sector involvement, implementation faced challenges with leadership, capacity, awareness, coordination, and budget constraints, especially at sub-national levels.
2) Key challenges included lack of nutrition focal points in non-health sectors, limited awareness outside health sectors, and minimal sub-national coordination. Budget limitations were also a constraint.
3) Recommendations included establishing high-level multi-sectoral coordination led by the Prime Minister's office, capacity building at sub-national levels, and designating nutrition focal points in all
Millennium Development Goal 4 aimed to reduce child mortality rates by two-thirds between 1990 and 2015. It had targets to reduce the under-five mortality rate and infant mortality rate, as well as increase measles immunization rates. The document discusses that focusing on newborns is key to achieving this goal, as is addressing socio-economic disparities between regions. It also questions some aspects of how Goal 4 was designed and measured progress, particularly choices that make reductions in sub-Saharan Africa appear worse than in other regions.
Access to Nutrition Index: Progress and Plans Fall 2016CORE Group
The document summarizes a presentation given by the Access to Nutrition Foundation (ATNF) about the Access to Nutrition Index. The key points are:
1. ATNF publishes the Access to Nutrition Index every two years, which ranks major food and beverage companies on their nutrition-related policies and practices. The 2016 Index found that while some companies have improved, industry efforts to address malnutrition are still inadequate.
2. The presentation covered the methodology used in the 2016 Index, key findings on overall performance and undernutrition, and a new detailed analysis finding that no company fully complies with global marketing standards for breastmilk substitutes.
3. Future plans include the first India Index in late 2016 and
1. The document summarizes the Together for Nutrition 2015 conference in Ethiopia which brought together evidence on cross-sectoral approaches to improving nutrition.
2. Key topics included trends in Ethiopia's nutritional indicators, the role of nutrition interventions and programs in agriculture, gender, and social sciences in shaping nutrition.
3. The conference aimed to take stock of current nutrition status, drivers of improvement, and future directions for action across multiple sectors including food production, social safety nets, and women's empowerment.
What Happened Since the Child Survival Call to Action_John Borazzo_4.26.13CORE Group
The document discusses developments since the 2012 Child Survival Call to Action. It notes many countries have developed new plans and data on child mortality is available. Key issues include focusing on vulnerable populations, high-impact interventions, and accountability. Measuring annual changes in mortality is difficult due to data limitations. Coordination is needed across global and national initiatives to accelerate reductions in preventable child deaths.
Presentation on the new 2013 child mortality estimates psalama91013unicef_ethiopia
This technical report analyzes global progress in reducing child mortality. It finds that the global under-five mortality rate declined nearly in half between 1990 and 2012, saving 90 million lives. However, 6.6 million children still die each year before age five. Over half of under-five deaths occur in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. The leading causes of under-five death are neonatal conditions, pneumonia, diarrhea, and malaria. While progress has been made, accelerated efforts are needed to achieve the MDG target and ensure all children survive to their fifth birthday.
PERUVIANS HAVE MUCH to celebrate in regards to the rapid progress the country has made in reducing malnutrition. In 2013, only 3.5 percent of children under five years of age in Peru were underweight. Even smaller proportions— 0.5 percent and 0.1 percent—were moderately or severely wasted. But the statistic that many nutritionists point to when lauding the country as a nutrition success is Peru’s rate of childhood stunting (Figure 14.1). In 2014, 14.6 percent of children under five years of age were stunted. While this rate is not as low as the country’s other nutrition indicators, it reflects a remarkable improvement. Less than a decade earlier, the prevalence was twice as high (29.5 percent).4 How was this rapid progress achieved—not only at a national level, but across all of Peru’s diverse regions, even poor rural ones including the Andean Highlands, and even amongst the poorest 20 percent of the population?
Social Protection and Agriculture – Findings from Ethiopia’s Productive Safet...essp2
The document outlines findings from Ethiopia's Productive Safety Net Program (PSNP) and key lessons that can inform social protection programs. The PSNP aimed to address food insecurity and promote development. It provided predictable multi-year support to nearly 8 million people through public works projects, direct support, and other initiatives. Evaluations found the PSNP reduced food gaps and increased investments in areas like fertilizer and soil conservation. Key lessons included the importance of government ownership, integration with broader development goals, coordination among stakeholders, targeting approaches, monitoring and evaluation, and opportunities for ongoing learning and adjustment of programs.

This document summarizes the findings of a systematic review mapping existing peer-reviewed research on adolescent nutrition in West Africa between 1999-2019. The review identified 154 relevant studies, with most focusing on prevalence and drivers of undernutrition, overweight/obesity, and diet-related non-communicable diseases. Few studies evaluated nutrition programs or policies. While research output has increased over time, evidence remains limited across most West African countries. The review highlights key gaps including a lack of intervention research and nutrition policies specifically targeting adolescents in the region.
Changing patterns of malnutrition in Ethiopia and lessons learned. Stunting, wasting, and underweight rates in children under 5 have declined significantly from 2000 to 2014 due to decisive government commitment and leadership. Key factors contributing to improvements include strengthened primary health care and nutrition-specific interventions, expanded access to agriculture and education, and multi-sectoral nutrition policies integrated across health, agriculture, education, industry, and social protection sectors. Remaining challenges include continuing to address equity and quality, strengthening nutrition-sensitive actions and information systems, and managing the emerging issues of overweight and obesity.

This document summarizes the evolution of understanding and approaches to addressing malnutrition over the past 50 years. It began with a focus on treating severe protein deficiency and hunger in the 1950s-1960s. In the 1970s, the importance of multisectoral interventions was recognized. However, these had little impact, leading to a more isolated focus on micronutrients and breastfeeding in the 1980s. Understanding continued evolving in the 1990s-2000s to incorporate the political economy of nutrition and promote biofortified crops. High-level political commitment to addressing undernutrition increased significantly from 2010 onward among international organizations and governments. The book explores lessons learned from different contexts and times on improving nutrition.
A Promise Renewed_Tessa Wardlaw_10.16.13 CORE Group
This document provides a summary of key findings from technical reports on global child mortality levels and progress toward A Promise Renewed commitments to end preventable child deaths. It finds that while the under-five mortality rate has declined significantly since 1990, nearly 6.6 million children still died in 2012. Further acceleration is needed, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, to achieve the MDG4 target by 2015. The leading causes of under-five deaths are neonatal conditions, pneumonia, diarrhea, and malaria. Progress has been uneven in reducing risk factors like lack of access to oral rehydration solution in high diarrhea burden countries.
This document summarizes information about the concentration of global economic power. It finds that power is concentrated in transnational corporations based mostly in North America and Europe. It also finds that the world's richest people and most influential global cities are predominantly located in these regions as well, suggesting economic power remains unevenly distributed globally, concentrated in Western nations.

Scaling Up Nutrition Action for Africa: Where Are We and What Challenges Need To Be
Addressed To Accelerate Momentum
Lawrence Haddad, Executive Director, Global Alliance for Nutrition (GAIN), United Kingdom
The document discusses key findings from the Global Nutrition Report. It highlights that:
1) Malnutrition creates challenges for both individuals and societies. 2) Africa is off track to meet global nutrition targets but there is hope if countries make stronger commitments. 3) Nutrition is central to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The document calls for countries and organizations to make specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound commitments to address malnutrition in all its forms. It suggests three actions readers can take to support better nutrition globally.
This document provides an executive summary of the 2018 Global Nutrition Report. It finds that while malnutrition is a global issue and progress has been slow, opportunities now exist to address it through commitments like the UN Decade of Action on Nutrition and the Sustainable Development Goals. The burden of malnutrition remains high in multiple forms among children and adults worldwide. However, countries are increasingly establishing policies and targets to tackle malnutrition, though financing remains a challenge to deliver on these commitments. Data and understanding of effective solutions are improving but must be translated into urgent, comprehensive action to achieve nutrition goals.
The document presents a progress chart assessing work toward the United Nations Millennium Development Goals. It shows the level of compliance and progress for various development targets across different world regions. The targets address reducing poverty, hunger, disease, and improving education, gender equality, health, environmental conditions, and global partnerships. Progress or lack of progress is indicated through color coding and text in each box on a regional and country basis.
To What Extent Are Population Policies Successfulljordan
To what extent are population policies successful? This document discusses population policies and their success in influencing birth rates. It outlines anti-natalist policies that aim to decrease birth rates through family planning, contraception, sex education, and abortion. Pro-natalist policies aim to increase birth rates using incentives like cash bonuses and tax breaks for larger families. The success of these policies depends on government commitment, public involvement, and whether they have achieved their goal of changing birth rates. Singapore is used as an example of a country that implemented policies and saw its birth rate decline, potentially endangering its future workforce and aging population.

It discusses the high global burden of malnutrition and the rationale for a multi-sectoral approach to address its underlying causes. The strategy focuses on evidenced-based, high impact interventions across several sectors, as well as creating an enabling environment and rigorous program management to achieve nutrition targets and realize the vision of reducing stunting by 20 percent.
The document is a progress chart assessing progress towards targets set out in the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) across various world regions. It shows the status of indicators related to reducing poverty, improving health and education, and increasing access to resources like water and sanitation. For each development goal, the chart provides a color-coded assessment of each region's progress toward meeting targets by 2015, with green indicating a target has been or will be met and red meaning progress is insufficient. The chart is intended to monitor global progress in achieving the time-bound development targets agreed upon by UN member states in 2000.
Improving nutrition as a developmt priority fullhabtomina
In all four study countries - Ghana, Mozambique, Nigeria, and Uganda - undernutrition remains highly prevalent but has not been effectively prioritized by governments as a development issue. While these countries have established policies and coordination bodies for nutrition, they have seen little success in shifting resources toward reducing undernutrition. Across the countries, undernutrition is generally not viewed as threatening government legitimacy or invoking crisis. As a result, political will and investment for addressing undernutrition remains low. Effective nutrition advocacy coalitions are largely absent, representing a key constraint to building greater government commitment to assisting the undernourished.

Nutrition element portfolio review usaid_ Roshelle Payes & Rebecca Egan_10.14.11CORE Group
The document discusses USAID's nutrition approach, outlining its principles, components, target areas, and role of operating units. It provides context on the global burden of undernutrition and its causes. It then describes the recent shift in global and USAID nutrition strategies from vertical to integrated approaches, from under-fives targeting to the 1000-day window, from nutrient-specific to diet quality measures, from recuperative to preventive focus, and from health platforms to multi-sectoral delivery. It poses questions about reaching the 30% undernutrition reduction goal and delivering comprehensive nutrition interventions at scale through integrated frameworks.
The document summarizes the Global Hunger Index (GHI), which measures and tracks hunger globally using three indicators: undernourishment, child underweight, and child mortality. The GHI ranks countries on a 100-point scale based on these indicators. In 2012, 20 countries had alarming or extremely alarming hunger levels according to the GHI. While global hunger has declined since 1990 according to the GHI, it remains serious at a score of 14.7. South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa have the highest hunger levels. The document also discusses how land, water, and energy scarcity pose challenges to ensuring sustainable food security.
HLEG thematic workshop on Measurement of Well Being and Development in Africa...StatsCommunications
Luc Christiaensen presents a non-monetary perspective on measuring poverty and well-being in Africa. While economic growth has been strong, progress on extreme poverty and human development has been uneven and challenges remain large. Literacy remains low, malnutrition is still a major issue, and conflict is rising again. A multidimensional approach considers factors like health, education, empowerment, and violence. Non-monetary indicators are systematically weaker in resource-rich countries. Expanding measures of well-being and focusing on improving education, especially for women and girls, can help address remaining human development gaps in Africa.
This document discusses food and nutrition security in the Philippines and the government's efforts to ensure the right to food. It provides an overview of global and national hunger indicators and reviews the legal framework and a study on right to food assessment in the Philippines. The government's strategies in the Philippine Development Plan focus on raising agricultural productivity, increasing investments in food value chains, and transforming agricultural households. The plan also aims to reduce malnutrition by focusing on at-risk groups, increasing food supply and access, and strengthening coordination between agencies.
SUN Movement Presentation - April 2014 (ENGLISH)SUN_Movement
The document summarizes the work of SUN, a global movement focused on eliminating malnutrition. It outlines that over 165 million children under 5 are stunted due to malnutrition, while billions of people are deficient in key vitamins and minerals. Eliminating undernutrition can boost economic growth, increase school and life outcomes, and reduce poverty. SUN brings together stakeholders in countries to create platforms and align actions across sectors like health, agriculture, education and social protection to implement proven nutrition interventions at scale. The movement has grown to involve over 100 global stakeholders supporting national nutrition efforts in 50 countries.
Derek Headey and Marie Ruel from IFPRI presented on the impacts of COVID-19 on childhood malnutrition and nutrition-related mortality. They found that economic contractions from COVID-19 prevention measures can significantly increase risks of child wasting. Using DHS data from 52 countries from 1990-2018, they estimated that a 10% decline in GNI could increase moderate or severe child wasting by 14%. They also explored mechanisms like impacts on child diets, disease rates, and maternal nutrition. Applying their model to Ethiopia, they estimated that a 5.5% GNI decline could result in over 70,000 additional moderately or severely wasted children. They discussed the need for unprecedented social protection and nutrition programs to mitigate impacts on child
This presentation gives an outline on:
- identifying what data are needed to characterize the nutrition situation
- tracking progress in policies and programs at global, regional, and country level
- becoming familiar with common data sources for obtaining nutrition indicators
- identifying priority information gaps for nutrition measurement in the West Africa Region
2017 Global Hunger Index The Inequalities Of HungerJoaquin Hamad
The document summarizes the 2017 Global Hunger Index (GHI). It finds that while long-term progress has been made in reducing global hunger, improvements have been uneven. The GHI is calculated based on four indicators: undernourishment, child wasting, child stunting, and child mortality. Regional scores show that South Asia and Africa south of the Sahara struggle most with hunger. National scores reveal that eight countries suffer extremely or alarmingly high levels of hunger, mostly in Africa south of the Sahara. Subnational data on stunting within countries show great disparities. Inequality, power imbalances, and lack of participation in policy debates by disadvantaged groups contribute to hunger.
Executive summary 2021 Global Nutrition ReportCIkumparan
1) Progress is being made on some global nutrition targets but not others, and accelerated efforts are needed. Most countries are not on track to meet targets for stunting, wasting, anaemia, obesity, and diet-related diseases. Covid-19 has exacerbated the problem.
2) Unhealthy and unsustainable diets are harming health and the environment. No region meets recommendations for healthy diets, while diet-related deaths and environmental impacts are rising.
3) Financing needs to meet nutrition targets are growing but resources are falling, though the economic costs of inaction are far greater. Traditional and innovative financing must be expanded to close the gap.
1. The document discusses challenges facing the global food system such as drought, volatile food prices, and conflict, as well as opportunities for economic transformation in Africa through agricultural growth.
2. It emphasizes the need to focus on smallholder farmers in Africa, link agricultural growth to improved nutrition and health, and build resilience against shocks.
3. The outlook calls for building resilience of food systems and the poor, advancing integrated approaches to agriculture, nutrition, and related sectors, and fulfilling commitments to end hunger by 2025 through country-led processes.

Rice is the most consumed cereal in Senegal, accounting for 34% of total cereal consumption. Per capita consumption is 80-90kg annually, though there is an urban-rural divide. While domestic production has doubled between 2010-2021, it still only meets 40% of demand. As a result, Senegal imports around 1 million tons annually, mainly from India and Thailand. Several public policies aim to incentivize domestic production and stabilize prices, though rice remains highly exposed to international price shocks due to its importance in consumption and reliance on imports.

- Rice exports from Myanmar have exceeded 2 million tons per year since 2019-2020, except for 2020-2021 during the peak of the pandemic. Exports through seaports now account for around 80% of total exports.
- Domestic rice prices in Myanmar have closely tracked Thai export prices, suggesting strong linkages between domestic and international markets.
- Simulations of a 10% decrease in rice productivity and a 0.4 million ton increase in exports in 2022-2023 resulted in a 33% increase in domestic prices, a 5% fall in production, and a 10% drop in consumption, with poor households suffering the largest declines in rice consumption of 12-13%.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
