The objective of this paper is to describe the initial scaling-up phase of the 'Baduta' programme (Baduta 2), which aimed to support national stunting-reduction efforts in Indonesia through emotional demonstrations (‘emo demos’), reflecting on the challenges faced and ensuing lessons learned, following the promising results of the 2017 evaluation of the programme.
Good nutrition has a hugely positive impact on health and other social goals, like educational attainment and work productivity – but the sector remains under-financed relative to its potential. How can we change this?
Gallup, Harvard T.H Chan School of Public Health, and the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN), today launched the Global Diet Quality Project’s website, dietquality.org, releasing data from 56 countries alongside ready to use tools for diet data collection and analysis.
On 22 June 2023 (Thursday, 9.00 to 10.30 AM EST/2.00 to 3.30 PM BST) Nutrition Connect and IFSS Portal, and Glocolearning, will host a 90-minute virtual workshop to highlight the central role of partnerships in ushering systemic change, by exemplifying practical approaches in food systems.
Until recently, action taken to address climate change and malnutrition were two entirely separate conversations, with two eco-systems that did not interact. That is no longer sustainable. We cannot properly address climate change without addressing nutrition and vice versa.
This Interview Cruncher will highlight what needs to be done to harness the impact of enterprise support in reaching low-income consumers with healthy diets.
Malnutrition is a major public health problem, for which global development assistance current falls far short of needs. As such, it is important to consider non-traditional sources and mechanisms to increase the funding available to support nutrition, particularly in low- and middle-income countries where the burden is highest.
Learn about the newly available diet quality data for 56 countries and access country-specific data collection tools on Dietquality.org. The website offers interactive features, ready-to-use survey modules, and an indicator calculator for analysing data. Join the webinar to explore these tools and engage in discussions.
GAIN’s mission is to improve the consumption of nutritious and safe food for all people, especially those most vulnerable to malnutrition. As a nutrition organisation, we understand food safety to be a core component of our mission and our ability to achieve healthier diets. Safe food is essential for food security and nutrition, and it affects everything from what consumers eat, to their livelihoods, and their families’ health.
Join us for an in-depth discussion of the critical role that food standards play in ensuring food safety beyond basic compliance. This year’s theme is Food standards save lives.
