Malnutrition continues to be one of the world's most serious development problems. Exacerbating the consequences of infectious disease, malnutrition contributes to about 6 million deaths annually of children under 5. But cost-effective interventions can reduce the global impacts of malnutrition. This policy brief examines the causes and effects of malnutrition (both underweight and overweight), and provides a set of short-term and long-term actions that can improve the nutritional status of the world over the next decade.
