Management of Severe Acute Malnutrition

Severe acute malnutrition is defined by a very low-weight-for-height, by visible severe wasting, or by the presence of nutritional oedema. Decreasing child mortality and improving maternal health depends heavily on reducing malnutrition, which is responsible - directly or indirectly - for 35% of deaths among children under five.

School Health and Nutrition

Overview

The provision of quality schools, textbooks, and teachers can result in effective education only if the child is present, ready, and able to learn. If every girl and boy is to be able to complete a basic education of good quality, then it is essential to ensure that the poorest children, who suffer the most malnutrition and ill health, are able to attend and stay in school.
