Malnutrition: Just Stop It

Action Against Hunger’s annual publication provides an insightful overview of global child and maternal malnutrition in 2010 and 2011

9 March 2011, ACF-UK

What is malnutrition? Who is at risk from it? Where in the world? Why is it causing deaths and suffering? What is being done to tackle it?

Malnutrition: Just Stop It narrates and illustrates the complexities of the problems, issues and policies linked to the world’s most serious public health problem - malnutrition. It tells the stories of people living with malnutrition such as Maria from northeast Uganda, who struggles to feed her large family without a regular income, and Dorméus in Haiti who lost his wife in the earthquake in January 2010 and now provides for his three daughters. It also introduces children like one year old Adam in Chad and nine month old Awalou in Niger, both of whom live in the Sahel region of West Africa which experienced a severe food crisis in 2010.

In highlighting the role that individuals and organisations like Action Against Hunger can continue to play, the publication outlines successful solutions to end child malnutrition.
