Sommario/riassunto |

Action against malnutrition is needed more than ever. An additional US10.3 billion a year is required from public resources to mount a successful attack against undernutrition on a worldwide scale. This would benefit over 360 million children in the 36 countries with the highest burden of undernutrition-home to 90 percent of the stunted children worldwide-and prevent 1.1 million child deaths.
