To adress the devastating effects of malnutrition, it is crucial to gear funding towards prevention in order to intervene before it is too late :
∎ through priority targeting of the most vulnerable groups : women and young children in their first 1,000 days ;
∎ tackling the direct causes of malnutrition : inappropriate diet and diseases ;
∎ in stakeholder coalitions : public authorities, financers, associations, research institutes, VSEs/SMEs, and families, taking an overall approach suited to local contexts.
