UN Standing Committee on Nutrition

Published in : 2008

Available in : English

This edition of the SCN News is of special relevance for a variety of reasons, not least of which being the recommendations agreed at the 35th Session held in Hanoi in March 2008, hosted by the Government of Vietnam. The 35th Session was aimed at understanding how to accelerate the reduction of maternal and child undernutrition, drawing on the recently launched Lancet Nutrition Series (LNS) on maternal and child undernutrition.
