Seminar: The Politics of Reducing Malnutrition

March 6, 2014 -

Transforming leadership

DSC_0078smOn Wednesday 22nd January Transform Nutrition held a seminar at the Institute of Development Studies. Stuart Gillespie (IFPRI ) and Nick Nisbett (IDS) talked about how  in recent years, political discourse on the challenge of undernutrition has increased markedly, leading to stated commitments on the part of many national governments, international organizations and donors. But they suggested that our understanding of what constitutes an “enabling environment for nutrition” is not well developed, and the nutrition research paradigm has routinely neglected the politics of reducing malnutrition.  This presentation derived from work conducted for the fourth paper from the Lancet Nutrition Series, released in June 2013.
