Copenhagen Consensus

2006

Ending Child Hunger and
Undernutrition
Initiative: Global Framework
for Action

Significance
• Determines that nutrition is one of the most cost-effective buys in development
investments.
• Recognizes the need for a renewed global effort to address hunger and
undernutrition.

The Lancet’s Series on
Maternal and Child
Undernutrition

2008

2009

• Helps forge consensus on effective high-impact nutrition-related interventions
and policies in developing countries, and on related evidence-based actions
proven to accelerate progress on maternal/child malnutrition.

Copenhagen
Consensus on
Malnutrition
and Hunger1

• Highlights cost-effective interventions for improving nutrition as identified by
a group of world-renowned economists. These researchers list micronutrient
supplements for child survival as the top international development priority of
more than 40 interventions considered.
• Emphasizes good nutrition for young children, especially nutrients that children
under two need for growth2

U.S. Global Health

Feed the Future, the U.S.
Government’s Global Hunger
and Food Security Initiative

2010

1,000 Days/Scaling Up
Nutrition Partnership Launch

• Designates nutrition as one of the eight core areas of integration (a key
GHI principle) and prioritizes scaling up4 proven, evidence-based nutrition
approaches.
• Sets goal of reducing child undernutrition by 30 percent in food-insecure
countries (in conjunction with Feed the Future).
• Designates improved nutrition as one of six focus areas and supports countryowned programs for undernutrition, especially for children under five.
• Works to jump-start the implementation of the Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN)
Framework and Roadmap to help end undernutrition during pregnancy and early
childhood.
• Emphasizes a “window of opportunity” (from pregnancy to two years old)
for a high priority package of evidence-based and cost-effective health and
nutrition interventions to reduce death and disease. If implemented at scale and
supported by appropriate policies, these effective interventions can significantly
improve nutrition for the most vulnerable groups—undernourished mothers and
children.

Africa and Asia since 1997. It encompasses women’s nutrition during pregnancy and lactation, optimal IYCF (breastfeeding and complementary
feeding), nutritional care of sick and malnourished children (including zinc, vitamin A and ready-to-use therapeutic foods), and the control of anemia,
vitamin A, and iodine deficiencies.
