Editorial 2010/2: The time to act
Why should we scale up support for nutrition right now? The policy brief "Scaling Up Nutrition: A Framework For Action" not only answers this question; it also shows which actions are most urgently needed to reduce hunger and its effects on public health and economic development. Its recommendations are based on a series of consultations hosted by the Center for Global Development, the European Commission, the International Congress of Nutrition, the United Nations Standing Committee on Nutrition, USAID, UNICEF, WHO and the World Bank, with contributions by numerous developing country partners, civil society organizations and academia, as well as other UN and aid agencies.
