Second Report on the World Nutrition Situation - Volume I: Global and Regional Results

UN Standing Committee on Nutrition

Published in : 1992

Available in : English

This Second Report on the World Nutrition Situation comes at an important time. In the near future human well-being, to which nutrition is fundamental, could improve more rapidly throughout the world; but economic adjustments and mass migration are continuing threats. The results here show steady, if slow, progress in many countries in the last few years. The future may see the needed acceleration in these. But the picture for Sub-Saharan Africa is of great concern, where a deteriorating nutritional trend needs to be turned around.
