Nutrition: The First Two Years are Forever

United Nations Children's Fund Unicef

Working Papers from eSocialSciences

Abstract: This report reads from UNICEF’s policy, programme and communication experience globally and in India, both at national and state levels, and builds on the work by the National Coalition for Sustainable Nutrition Security and the Citizens’ Alliance against Malnutrition. It gathers a collection of factsheets on essential evidence based interventions to improve nutrition in children under two. For each intervention it reviews in simple language why the intervention is important, where India is in making this intervention universal, and how to make the intervention a reality for all children under two, because when it comes to nutrition the first two years are forever.
