| Resumen: |
This report presents a strategic case for investing in food security and nutrition-sensitive social protection, with the aim of mobilizing cross-sectoral action to improve food security and nutrition outcomes. A specific focus on food security and nutrition is urgently needed, in a context of high levels of food insecurity and malnutrition. Globally, hunger has worsened since 2015, with children and women disproportionately affected. Good nutrition is foundational for physical and cognitive growth, education achievement, maternal and infant health, and labour productivity. Conversely, malnutrition reproduces intergenerational poverty and impedes economic growth. |
