Malnutrition: The problem
Malnutrition – major challenges:
• macronutrients (hunger)
Hunger estimates narrow, conservative
• micronutrient [minerals, vitamins] deficiencies (‘hidden hunger’)
• obesity -> non-communicable diseases
Malnutrition widespread, costly
Hunger decline slower

Changing regional distribution of world hunger, 1990-2014
Slower progress on hunger since 2006
Food price decline ends• Bio-fuel mandates, subsidies• Economic growth in South greater demand• Easier credit more financial speculation• Food commodities as financial asset class• Economic slowdown after 2008• Climate change, weather hits food production• Resource and environmental constraints
But malnutrition still widespread

Economic costs of malnutrition unacceptably high @ 5% of GDP
• Under-nutrition, micronutrient deficiencies cost 2-3% of global GDP
• Total output loss, healthcare costs due to NCDs, for which obesity is key risk factor, aboutUS$47 trillion over next 2 decades
• Total costs of malnutrition may be as high as 5% of global GDP, equivalent to US$3.5trn or US$500/person/year
• Poorer countries -> higher malnutrition costs
Economic costs of obesityby McKinsey Global Institute (2014)
About 1.9~2.1 bn people overweight (including about a third [BMI] obese),
i.e. 30% of global population
Comparative economic burden armed conflicts ($2.1 trillion)
smoking ($2.1 trillion)obesity ($2.0 trillion)
Overweight, obesity rising rapidly

Multiple faces of malnutrition now
• > 800m people hungry in 2012-14
• > 2 bn suffer micronutrient deficiencies
• Children: 161m. stunted, 51m. wasted, 99m. underweight
• 45% of 6.9m. child deaths annually linked to malnutrition
• 42 m. overweight children < 5 years
• 2.1 bn overweight, ~700 m. adults obese
Why improve nutrition?Malnutrition Greatly impedes fulfillment of human potential Slows development Burdens national health and fiscal systemsWeakens economic, social and cultural fabric of
nationsImproving nutrition not only moral imperative,
but also Improves productivity, economic growth Reduces health care costs Promotes education, intellectual capacity, social
development
Better nutrition: Why? How?
• Malnutrition costs lives, money
• Healthier diets need better food systems
• Health, education, water, sanitation, lifestyles, etc. needed
• Appropriate policies, incentives, governance
• Sustainable food systems central
• Without full employment, decent work, need social protection floor for right to food [Sen: SP to ensure entitlements]
Reform food systemfor better nutrition
– Better food production to ensure:
more available, accessible, affordable, diverse, nutritious
– Improving processing, supply chains
– Helping consumers choose well
– Sustainable production, consumption
– Women (mothers, caregivers) key
– Improving governance: nutrition orphaned
Recent progress
• Strengthen international cooperation– Zero Hunger Challenge (ZHC)– Scaling Up Nutrition Movement (SUN)– UK-Brazil G8 Nutrition ‘Summit’– UK Global Panel– US Global Nutrition Strategy– ICN2, 19-21 Nov. 2014• Improve policy coordination• Decade of Action, 2016-2015
ICN2 outcomes
Rome Declaration on Nutrition
commitment for more effective,
coordinated action
Framework for Action
technical guide for
implementation [see Info Note]
Ten ICN2 commitmentsEradicate hunger and prevent all forms of malnutrition
Increase investments
Enhance sustainable food systems
Raise the profile of nutrition
Strengthen human and institutional capacities
Strengthen and facilitate, contributions and action by all stakeholders
Ensure healthy diets throughout the life course
Create enabling environment for making informed choices
Implement commitments through Framework for Action
Integrate vision and commitments into post-2015 agenda
ICN2 Framework for Action 60 recommendations
• Enabling environment for effective action• Sustainable food systems promoting healthy diets• International trade and investment• Nutrition education and information• Social protection• Health systems delivery of direct nutrition interventions
and health services to improve nutrition• Water, sanitation and hygiene• Food safety • AccountabilityGovernments have primary responsibility for action,
in dialogue with a wide range of stakeholders
Developing and implementing national nutrition plans and policies 1
1. Official government adoption & political commitment/support
• Adequate nutrition budget allocation• Effective, high profile advocate
2. Inter-ministerial/sectoral coordination• Influential office leading process located in
government• Effective coordination among relevant ministries,
agencies• Dedicated budget for operations• Representation of all concerned stakeholders00
3. Capacity to effectively implement plans• Appropriate prioritization of activities• Mobilization of relevant sectors, ministries
Developing and implementing national nutrition plans and policies 2
4. Disconnect between national policy priorities and regional/provincial level policy priorities
5. Lack of human capacity in nutrition6. Lack of appropriate monitoring & evaluation
mechanisms7. Lack of reliable national nutrition, food, health
data8. Changing international context of food and
nutrition 9. Frequent staff turnover• Lack of institutional memory, continuity
Policy environment and main gaps 1
– Policies• Most countries have nutrition policies, but do not: − Address double burden of undernutrition− Address changing nutrition challenges over life-courses− Include evidence-informed policies comprehensively− Address underlying causes of malnutrition
• Food security strategies seldom include other nutritiongoals
– Coordination• Inter-sectoral coordination mechanisms exist in most
countries, but do not:− Comprehensively address existing challenges − Influence high-level policy making frameworks
Policy environment and main gaps 2
Implementation• Most countries implement some key interventions at
national scale, but do not:− Implement comprehensive set of essential nutrition actions
at scale− Address maternal nutrition by reaching girls and women of
reproductive age before pregnancy− Adequately address obesity and diet-related NCD risk
factors
Monitoring and evaluation• Most countries conduct national surveys, but do not:− Include all relevant indicators− Disaggregate data sufficiently to address inequities− Conduct surveys routinely in a timely manner− Use data to better inform policy formulation
Why a Decade for Action?The Decade for Action on Nutrition will catalyze the
sustained momentum needed national and global action to address all forms of malnutrition to ensure good nutrition for all
• Governments have committed to take action on addressing all forms of malnutrition
• Requires coordinated , complementary nationaland international, especially UN system efforts
• ICN2 provides common vision, multi-sectoralapproach to address all forms of malnutrition involving all relevant sectors and stakeholders
Programme of Action elements1. Proposed organizational arrangements
2. Financing modalities from both budgetary and
extra-budgetary sources;
3. Procedures for monitoring implementation
4. Public information activities
5. Mechanisms for coordinating UN system activities,
and other IGOs and NGOs concerned
6. Establish national level mechanisms to mobilize
public support, carry out proposed activities
7. FAO-WHO lead agencies for the decade
UN SG Ban Ki-MoonThis Conference marks a new stage in our quest to
banish global hunger and malnutrition for good.
The UN system pledges to do all that it canto provide effective support.
WHO DG Margaret ChanThe future health of this world needs
policy coherence, nationally and also globally. It needs policy coherence across multiple sectors…
…the countries of this world have the creativity to work with civil society and the private sector
to make this happen.
FAO DG Jose Graziano da SilvaWe must recognize that nutrition is a public issue.
And treat it that way.On Rome Declaration on Nutrition and Framework for Action
Together, they are the starting point of our renewed efforts to improve nutrition for all.
But they are not the finishing line. Our responsibility is to transform the commitment into concrete results.
