SCN News No 26 – Mainstreaming Nutrition for Improved Development Outcomes

UN Standing Committee on Nutrition

Published in : 2003

Available in : English

The SCN’s 30th Annual session focused on efforts to mainstream nutrition and accelerate progress in achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The MDGs are a set of goals, targets and indicators to improve human development outcomes by 2015, and the nutrition community is poised to lead this process toward increased human well being. Yet the strategies of how to increase the importance of nutrition in human development dialogues and policy-making are still widely debated. The papers and panel discussion published here represent just some of the current debates, both political and technical, in moving nutrition forward.
