Nutrition Policy Discussion Paper No 15 - How Nutrition Improves

UN Standing Committee on Nutrition

Published in : 1996

Available in : English

Viewing improved nutrition as an outcome of development processes expands the area of concern for policy-makers and practitioners who seek to combat malnutrition. These processes operate at different levels in society, from (he individual through to the whole arena of governmental policy and indeed international relationships. The SCN, in deciding on initiating a series of country-wide reviews of nutrition-relevant actions in 1990, aimed to provide a rich base of documented experience of why and how such actions were undertaken and what was their effect on nutrition.
