Greater DFID and EC leadership on chronic malnutrition: Opportunities and constraints

This report assesses the commitment currently demonstrated by DFID and the EC - two of the largest aid agencies - to reducing chronic malnutrition. Some of the key findings of their research were that DFID and the EC only assign chronic malnutrition a medium level of priority, and that nutrition is seen as a supporting investment rather than a foundational one.
