A new paper from Transform Nutrition is now  published  in ‘World Development’. Reducing Child Undernutrition: Past Drivers and Priorities for the Post-MDG Era. Revisiting Smith and Haddad (2000), data from 1970 to 2012 for 116 countries is used, finding that safe water access, sanitation, women’s education, gender equality, and the quantity and quality of food available in countries have been key drivers of past reductions in stunting.
