Stunting and overweight in children under five years of age remain major malnutrition
challenges in the 12 countries in Africa and Asia where GAIN operates: Bangladesh, Benin,
Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria, Pakistan, Rwanda, Tanzania, and
Uganda. These forms of malnutrition appear in two of the six Global Nutrition Targets of
the World Health Assembly (WHA), which are meant to be achieved by 2025. This paper
evaluates progress towards these two WHA goals in these 12 countries, identifies lessons
learned, and offers actionable insights for evidence-based policymaking.
The Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) and Wellspring Development designed and hosted a series of in-person and online consultations with partners of the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs to examine challenges in improving the quality of diets of population groups living in rural areas of Low and Lower-Middle Income countries. These groups still largely consume nutrient-inadequate, even unhealthy, diets and face heavy burdens of malnutrition. This sixth and final paper considers how to recognise and manage trade-offs that inevitably emerge in large scale programmes. The discussions focused on how to identify when trade-offs occur and possible ways of addressing these

These groups still largely consume nutrient-inadequate, even unhealthy, diets and face heavy burdens of malnutrition. This fifth paper, out of six, looks specifically at the challenges in managing complex programme comprising multiple components, as well as the roles played by external actors in programme success and how best to manage this. The aim of the discussions was to elaborate on the definitions of coordination and orchestration, gather examples where these have been done successfully and to understan
