Double-Duty Actions: Policies that Address Malnutrition in All its Forms
Policies can make a big impact on a country’s progress toward ending malnutrition, including both undernutrition and overweight, obesity and diet-related non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Responsibility for nutrition often falls across various government ministry lines, requiring a range of policies and involving multiple sectors and stakeholder platforms. Comprehensive policy action is urgently needed to address malnutrition in all its forms if governments are to reach global targets to reduce undernutrition and diet-related NCDs.
