Aid for Nutrition - How Much is Being Invested?

'Aid for Nutrition - How Much is Being Invested?'

This project, funded by Action Against Hunger (AAH) includes a literature review of effectiveness of current nutrition spending, with a focus on which activities (and composition of activities) are required to meet 2015 targets and how these are currently defined by different donors. Ultimately, this preliminary research will lead to the indentification of the current funding shorfall in nutrition. On the basis of this credible rationale it will be possible to develop a methodology for meeting this shortfall and projecting how much each donor country should be able to contribute annually to scale up nutrition interventions to treat and prevent child undernutrition.
