Published in : 1998 Available in : English To accelerate progress in tackling malnutrition, adequate food, health, and care must be ensured throughout the lifecycle.

Promotion of growth and development in the young infant and child leads to a well-nourished school-aged child who can participate fully in the educational process. Good nutrition during adolescence, especially for girls, is important for their growth, development, and wellbeing, and eventually for their children’s.
