2024 Advocacy Dialogue for Human Resources in Health and Nutrition service provision
Malnutrition, in all its forms, is a violation of children’s rights. UNICEF prioritizes interventions to prevent malnutrition in children, adolescents and women – including stunting, wasting, micronutrient deficiencies, overweight and obesity. Where prevention falls short, the early detection and treatment of life-threatening wasting is critical to saving lives and setting children on a path towards healthy growth and development.
National governments have the primary responsibility of upholding children’s and women’s rights to nutrition. To do this effectively, they need strong, resilient systems that help prevent all forms of malnutrition and deliver timely treatment and care when prevention falls short.
Multiple systems – including food, health and social protection – have a role to play in making the right to nutrition a reality. A systems approach recognizes that ending malnutrition in all its forms calls for a shared responsibility to tackle the multiple determinants of child malnutrition.
Together with civil society, development partners and the private sector, governments must mobilize systems to drive sustainable change for children and their families.
Key among the prioritizations is the leveraging of human resources at various levels.
