Regions
Malnutrition and unhealthy diets are global problems that have been compounded by recent shocks. Challenges, responses, and potential solutions vary across regions and countries, requiring context-specific policy interventions to make sustainable, healthy, and diverse diets more affordable, accessible, and desirable.
Africa
Diverse diet and nutrition conditions call for targeted strategies to increase the supply, affordability, and consumption of healthy foods, especially for the most vulnerable
Latin America & Caribbean
Both demand- and supply-side solutions are needed to tackle malnutrition and challenges to accessing and affording healthy diets
Central Asia
Obstacles to improving diet quality and nutrition include the high cost of a healthy diet, inadequate nutrition knowledge, unhealthy consumption habits, and domestic and regional policies
Middle East & North Africa
Multifaceted policy approaches are needed to boost the resilience of food systems to frequent shocks, which raise food prices and affect diet quality
East & Southeast Asia
Multi-duty policy actions are needed to address the double burden of malnutrition and its drivers, including rapid urbanization, income growth, and environmental changes
South Asia
Combating high levels of malnutrition and rising rates of noncommunicable diseases will require fiscal reforms to promote the production and consumption of non-staple foods
