This session will explore the evidence for and opportunities of joined up approaches to addressing different forms of child malnutrition such as wasting and stunting in the context of shrinking resources and overlapping crises. It will highlight practical entry points for achieving greater impact, including nutrition-sensitive social protection programs, and examine how these approaches can more effectively align systems, financing, and service delivery to reach vulnerable children at scale.
