Nutrition: Scaling It UpEach year 2.8 million children under 5 die from undernutrition. Scaling up spending on simple proven nutrition interventions can help stop this.
Complementary / Therapeutic Feeding
Behavioural Change
Micronutrients and Deworming
Capacity Development
If we spent $ 11.8 (US) billion a year we could:
Save 1.1 millionchildren’s lives + 52 %
25 %
$42*
Focus On Families
13 %
10 %
Prevent stunting in150 million children
= 15 000 children
Rich countries’ current spend of $ 171 million saves just 15 000 children

Just $ 42 per family stops child undernutrition before it starts. In severe cases, however, costs can increase by up to 5 times as therapeutic feeding is required.
