As we move into the post-2015 era of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the world faces many seemingly intractable problems. Malnutrition should not be one of them. Countries that are determined to make rapid advances in malnutrition reduction can do so. If governments want to achieve the SDG target of ending all forms of malnutrition by 2030, they have clear pathways to follow. There are many levers to pull, and this report provides many examples of countries that have done so. Tackling malnutrition effectively is also key to meeting many other SDG targets. Good nutrition signals the realization of people's rights to food and health. It reflects a narrowing of the inequalities in our world. Without good nutrition, human beings cannot achieve their full potential. When people's nutrition status improves, it helps break the intergenerational cycle of poverty, generates broad-based economic growth, and leads to a host of benefits for individuals, families, communities, and countries. Good nutrition provides both a foundation for human development and the scaffolding needed to ensure it reaches its full potential. Good nutrition, in short, is an essential driver of sustainable development. ; Supplementary Online Materials. xvii Acknowledgments. xviii Abbreviations.xx Executive Summary.xxi Chapter 1 Introduction.2 Chapter 2 Assessing Progress against Nutrition Status Targets.9 Chapter 3 Progress against Nutrition for Growth Commitments.27 Chapter 4 Tracking Actions to Address Malnutrition in All Its Forms.39 Chapter 5 Scaling Up Financial and Capacity Resources for Nutrition.58 Chapter 6 Climate Change and Nutrition.75 Chapter 7 Indicators for Nutrition-Friendly and Sustainable Food Systems.85 Chapter 8 Strengthening Accountability for Business in Nutrition.97 Chapter 9 Strengthening Accountability: Lessons from Inside and Outside Nutrition.107 Chapter 10 Ten Calls to Action to Increase Accountability for Nutrition Actions.120 Appendix 1 Progress in Meeting Nutrition Status Targets.126 Appendix 2 Progress in Meeting Nutrition for Growth Commitments.144 Appendix 3 Scaling Up Financial and Capacity Resources for Nutrition.148 Notes.154 References.157 ; PR ; IFPRI1; CRP4; B Promoting healthy food systems ; DGO; A4NH; PHND ; CGIAR Research Program on Agriculture for Nutrition and Health (A4NH)
