Progress for Children: A Report Card on Nutrition (No. 4)

UNICEF

Published in : 2006

Available in : English

This report card – the fourth in a UNICEF series that monitors progress for children towards the MDGs – measures the world’s performance on nutrition, taking the prevalence of underweight among children under five as its primary indicator. The global community promised to cut the proportion of underweight children by half between 1990 and 2015, but we are still not on track to reach that target.
