Working Papers from eSocialSciences

Abstract: This paper summarizes the preliminary findings of Global Nutrition Report (GNR), which we shared at the GNR stakeholder roundtable in New Delhi. The primary recommendations suggested are a set of core indicators of nutrition outcomes and determinants of nutrition status and a mechanism for reasonably frequent (every 2-3 years) data collection to ensure that comparable data on these indicators is available for strategic nutrition-focused decision-making at national, state and district level.
