Our principal concern is our children. Because ultimately, that’s who we’re working to protect – the children whose lives and futures are most vulnerable to the dangers and deprivations of poverty. Their health is a leading indicator of a nation’s stability, security, and prosperity. I often tell people as I travel around the world, “If you want to know how stable a country is, don’t count the number of advanced weapons, count the number of undernourished children.” Few issues provide a more direct, affordable, and effective way to save and improve lives. As governments and organizations search for strategic interventions in the fight against poverty, places where our money and our effort can make the biggest and most lasting differences, nutrition represents a ripe opportunity and one that can be addressed from many different angles. -Hillary Clinton, 2010 USAID Initiatives FTF GHI Rice value chainsCommunity gardensAgriculture extension workers Micronutrient supplementsPlumpyNutIMCI Health systems aloneare not enough Agriculture and economic growth alone are not enough USAID Initiatives Do we know what to do? * Mean anthropometric z-scores by age for all 54 studies, relative to the WHO standard Source: Victora CG, de Onis M, Hallal PC, Bl?ssner M, Shrimpton R.
