Nutrition Specific Interventions Are Not Enough to End Stunting

GLOBAL FOOD POLICY FIGURE 1 NUTRITION-SPECIFIC INTERVENTIONS ARE NOT ENOUGH TO END STUNTING REPORT IFPRI In June 2013 The Lancet recommended a core package of 10 nutrition-specific interventions to combat stunting. What if we scaled up these interventions to 90 percent coverage in the 34 countries with the highest burden of child stunting? The results, as shown here, are disappointing: such a massive effort would avert only one-fifth of the burden of stunting in these targeted countries. We clearly need a broader set of tools to deal with this critical health problem. 2.0 1.6 1.3 1.0 3.0 2.4 9.5 7.6 60.6 48.5 1.4 1.1 6.7 5.4 1.4 1.1 1.1 0.9 1.0 10.4 1.5 1.0 5.1 4.1 0.8 1.0 1.2 2.2 1.7 1.0 0.8 8.3 0.8 1.2 1.0 0.8 0.8 2.3 2.3 5.3 0.6 0.8 3.4 1.3 2.7 1.0 0.8 0.8 1.0 1.7 1.8 1.4 1.8 2.2 2.7 0.6 0.6 4.3 ASIA LATIN AMERICA AFRICA Source: Z.
