Public-Private Partnerships and undernutrition: Examples and future prospects
In recent years, political commitment to reducing undernutrition has risen globally. Nutrition features prominently on development agendas, in prime ministerial speeches,
in international development discourse and in the media. The multisectorality of nutrition is better recognised with the corresponding need for engagement by multiple actors in different sectors and at different levels. While this has thrown a spotlight on the issue of private sector engagement in nutrition-relevant actions, looming over new initiatives that engage the private sector is a deeply suspicious nutrition sector. This research brief from Transform Nutrition Public-Private Partnerships and undernutrition: Examples and future prospects examines this issue.
