Dismantling Silos in Child Nutrition: Examining the Evidence and Leveraging Social Protection Platforms (NUTRITION 2026 On Demand Collection)
This course is included in the NUTRITION 2026 On Demand Collection.
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.
Originally presented at NUTRITION 2026, ASN's flagship meeting which was held July 25-28 in National Harbor, MD
