Scaling Up Action on Adolescent Nutrition

12 Aug 2021
Adolescent Health

by UNICEF 20 MIN READ

The Government of India has long recognized the importance of addressing poor nutrition, and has enacted far-reaching legislation to improve child and adolescent nutrition with positive results.  Malnutrition  levels, however, remain alarmingly high, especially in populations experiencing intergenerational cycles of malnutrition and deprivation. This document details the evolution of UNICEF's nutrition programs, innovation and expansion between 1995 and 2011.  It also outlines the universalisation of the program between 2011 and 2020. Apart from the history, this document also outlines the future actions planned under the nutrition program to meet the 2022 targets. In line with national guidelines, UNICEF India will continue to explore and integrate evidence-based and innovative strategies to ensure healthy diets and good nutrition for adolescents. It is a useful document for policy makers. Click here to access the document.
