… but
The high levels of undernutrition in children and women in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa pose a major challenge for childsurvival and development. Progress is made when provision of basic services is combined with support for initiatives that inform and empower communities and families (particularly women) to ensureadequate nutrient intake and prevent infectious disease.
Issue
Malnutrition is associated with about half of all child deaths worldwide. Malnourished children have lowered resistance to infection; theyare more likely to die from common childhood ailments like diarrhoeal diseases and respiratory infections; and for those who survive, frequent illness saps their nutritional status, locking them into avicious cycle of recurring sickness, faltering growth and diminished learning ability.
