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

Making Food Systems Deliver More Nutrition: The Role of the Private SectorFrancois Stepman
27 September 2017. InfoPoint Lunchtime conference: Food Systems for Improved Nutrition
Presentation: Lawrence Haddad, Executive Director, GAIN
Food systems are geared towards meeting demand and generating commercial returns. They are not necessarily geared towards improving diets. But the crisis in poor diet quality—driving both undernutrition and conditions such as obesity, diabetes and hypertension--means that diets must improve and food systems become a bigger part of the solution. This talk explores how governments and businesses can begin to shape food systems to deliver healthier diets.
- Haiti has a high infant mortality rate and low immunization coverage for children under 1 year old. Vaccine-preventable diseases are a major cause of death among newborns.
- The proposed solution is a nationwide program to fully immunize all children under 1 year old over 5 years. This will be done by training healthcare workers and ensuring availability of vaccines and equipment.
- The goals are to gradually increase national immunization coverage to 60% in 2017, 70% in 2018, 80% in 2019, and 90% by 2020-2021. This will save over 16,000 children's lives and provide over 32 billion gourdes in benefits to Haiti.

Johan Swinnen (IFPRI) • MENA Discussion “2021 Global Food Policy Report: Tran...Lina Abdelfattah
The MENA regional section examines the diverse experiences of countries in the region, highlighting how the pandemic has compounded other serious challenges — including low oil prices, ongoing conflicts, and political transitions, as well as natural disasters — and has tested the resilience of those national food systems that are heavily dependent on food imports. At the launch event, speakers share updates on the post-COVID-19 recovery plans and discuss the way forward for strengthening the food system’s resilience to shocks.
This document summarizes strategies for transforming agri-food systems in Asia and the Pacific to improve human and planetary health. It finds that multiple burdens of malnutrition persist in the region and progress is not on track to meet SDG targets. Reshaping agri-food systems through policies, institutions, technologies, and cross-sector collaboration is crucial. Specific recommendations include reforming subsidies and taxes to incentivize nutritious foods, strengthening women's empowerment and land rights, investing in nutrition-sensitive technologies, and using evidence from projects like one examining food systems in Papua New Guinea to inform policy.
This document summarizes scenarios for global food security, farming, and climate change between now and 2050. It finds that population growth and income growth will increase global food demand, while climate change may reduce crop yields and threaten food security. Under a "business as usual" scenario, climate change is projected to decrease calorie consumption in developing countries by 12% on average and increase childhood malnutrition by 11% on average. However, increasing agricultural productivity, especially in developing countries, could help reduce the negative impacts of climate change on food security and malnutrition. Overall, sustainable economic growth, agricultural research, open trade, and climate change mitigation are necessary to adapt to the food security challenges posed by climate and demographic changes through 2050.
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.
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.
Presentation on "Why Food Safety Matters to Africa: Making the Case for Policy Action" by Dr. Steven Jaffee, Lecturer, Agricultural and Resource Economics, University of Maryland
The document discusses various topics related to sustainability including climate change, stabilizing ecosystems, agriculture, feeding the world, land grabs, biofuels, and green technology. It describes several international agreements and organizations working on climate change like the UNFCCC. It also evaluates reports from the Stern Review, Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, and IAASTD that look at grassroots initiatives, ecosystem management, and the role of agriculture. Additionally, it discusses the global land grab phenomenon and issues with large-scale biofuel production and their impacts on small farmers. Green technology and its role in cities to address climate change is also covered.
The document discusses key elements for effectively scaling up nutrition programs to have a greater impact. It identifies 9 critical elements: 1) a clear vision and goals, 2) defining what is being scaled up, 3) understanding the enabling environment and context, 4) identifying drivers and barriers, 5) developing a scaling up strategy, 6) building capacity, 7) establishing governance structures, 8) securing adequate and flexible financing, and 9) conducting monitoring, evaluation and learning. The document argues that these elements must be coordinated to scale up both nutrition-specific interventions and enable broader enabling environments and policies to maximize nutrition impact.
The document discusses the policy process in India that led to the passage of the National Food Security Act. It outlines how the bill was introduced in 2011 but did not pass for over a year until political momentum grew around upcoming elections. It was made into law in 2013 and guarantees subsidized food grains for two-thirds of the population. However, some criticized it as being more about "vote security" than actual food security. The document also examines the various actors and ideologies involved in the food policy process in India.

1) The document analyzes the impacts of agricultural growth and rural welfare in Pakistan using economy-wide modeling.
2) It finds that slowing growth in the agriculture and energy sectors could increase poverty rates, as these sectors are major pillars of Pakistan's development strategy.
3) In particular, slowing the increase in electricity supply was found to have the largest impact on poverty, even if it did not have the largest impact on overall economic growth. Agricultural growth significantly raises rural and urban incomes and reduces poverty.

Leveraging Agriculture to Improve NutritionShenggen Fan
This document discusses leveraging agriculture to improve global nutrition and addresses key challenges. It finds that:
1. Over 2 billion people suffer from micronutrient deficiencies while global hunger remains high, presenting major nutrition challenges.
2. Agriculture presents opportunities to improve nutrition through economic growth, but the structure and conditions of agricultural growth matter, as do factors like land distribution and women's status.
3. Successful strategies include developing nutritious staple crops, enhancing nutrition through agricultural value chains, and taking multisectoral and context-specific approaches tailored to countries' situations.

IFPRI works to address major trends impacting global food security and nutrition through research and partnerships. The document outlines several mega-trends including rapid population growth and urbanization, conflict and risk of famine, environmental degradation, and technological innovations. It discusses how IFPRI conducts research on these issues and partners with other organizations to build more resilient food systems and improve nutrition through approaches like social safety nets, strengthening value chains, and promoting crops with higher nutrient levels. Partnerships are seen as critical to addressing the complex challenges facing global food security.
Nutirtion as an input and outcome of resilience2020resilience
This document discusses integrating nutrition into resilience programming. It notes that many countries face high levels of food insecurity and malnutrition, and that resilience efforts cannot succeed without also addressing nutrition. The document calls for making resilience programs more nutrition-sensitive by strengthening nutrition in policies and information systems, and by designing multi-sectoral prevention, preparedness and response efforts based on nutritional vulnerability analyses. Key actions include monitoring nutritional status indicators, integrating nutrition education into programs, and linking social protection to resilience and nutrition frameworks.

The document summarizes the Productive Safety Net Program (PSNP) in Ethiopia, a social protection program that provides cash or food transfers to vulnerable households. It discusses the PSNP's design including targeting, transfer modalities, and linkages to livelihood programs. It also examines the PSNP's role in responding to shocks through vertical and horizontal scaling up. The document notes positive results from the PSNP including improved food security, poverty reduction, and resilience building. It concludes by looking at areas for further strengthening the PSNP including core systems, targeting graduation, financing sustainability, and ex ante shock preparedness.
Presentation by Shenggen Fan, IFPRI Director General, at "Berlin Launch of IFPRI’s 2013 Global Food Policy Report" event. June 11, 2014 in Berlin, Germany. Event details at: http://www.ifpri.org/event/berlin-launch-ifpri-s-2013-global-food-policy-report
This document summarizes lessons learned from resilience-building and nutrition programs implemented in Ethiopia, Niger, northern Kenya, and other food-insecure regions. It finds that cash transfers and seasonal safety nets alone were insufficient, and longer-term, multisectoral interventions are needed to build communities' ability to withstand shocks. Successful approaches included integrated interventions across agriculture, water and sanitation, livelihoods, and nutrition; strengthening government response capacity; and coordinating humanitarian and development actors. The document also provides recommendations for international donors, policymakers, and practitioners to adopt resilience-building approaches.
Sustainably Feeding the World: The Next 40 YearsShenggen Fan
Global food security is under stress due to population growth, resource constraints from land and water scarcity, and climate change impacts. "Business as unusual" is urgently needed to enhance food security through investing in agriculture and social protection, bringing in new partners from the private sector and philanthropies, adopting country-led approaches, and using evidence from policy experiments. Agricultural science, technology, and policy research are critical to increasing yields sustainably and designing effective policies, but these need to be made more accessible to smallholders.
The document provides an overview of the key challenges and opportunities for achieving food security in Asia. It discusses that (1) Asia's past poverty reduction was driven by agricultural growth supported by high-yielding varieties and infrastructure investments, (2) agriculture growth continues to be critical but attention and funding is declining, and (3) food security faces stresses from population growth, climate change, and natural disasters. It argues for filling knowledge gaps, scaling innovative solutions, and creating cooperative partnerships to address these challenges.
This document summarizes a summer school on transforming nutrition held in July 2015. It was convened by the Transform Nutrition research consortium, funded by UK DFID and CIFF.

• Optimize resources and efforts
• Efforts to enhance resilience
should not crowd out strategies
that already work well
• Strengthened social protection is
critical for vulnerable and
excluded groups
Research community lags behind NGOs re knowledge and
application of resilience strategies that already exist
To scale up successes, social capital has a key role to play
