SCN News No 22 - Nutrition Goals and Targets

UN Standing Committee on Nutrition

Published in : 2001

Available in : English

This issue of SCN News is devoted to nutrition goals and targets. This topic is both timely and important because two major upcoming international meetings will review achievements towards nutrition goals set in the 90s. These are the United Nations General Assembly Special Session on Children in September which marks the tenth anniversary of the Children’s Summit, and the World Food Summit: 5 Years Later meeting in Rome in November which will consider a mid-decade review of progress since the World Food Summit in 1996.
