November 19, 2014| |
The International Food Policy and Research Institute (IFPRI) and its partners released the Global Nutrition Report 2014, the first-ever comprehensive narrative on health and country-level progress toward reducing malnutrition across the globe. The report contains a global profile and country profiles on nutrition for each of the United Nations' 193 member states, with accounts on the specific developments happening for each country. It will be a centerpiece of the 2nd International Conference on Nutrition (ICN2) in Rome on November 19-21, 2014.
Furthermore, the report includes case studies from Bangladesh, Brazil, Burkina Faso, Indonesia, and India. Country profiles provide dashboards of more than 80 indicators of nutrition outcomes, determinants, program coverage, resources, and political commitment.
