WHO utilizes its influence to establish, align, and advocate for global nutrition priorities and policies, as outlined in the 2016–2025 nutrition strategy.
It develops evidence-based guidance, supports the implementation of effective nutrition actions, and assesses policy and program outcomes.
These efforts are guided by the Comprehensive implementation plan on maternal, infant, and young child nutrition, adopted in 2012.
Ending malnutrition is crucial for attaining the diet-related targets of various initiatives, including the Global action plan for noncommunicable diseases, the Global strategy for women’s, children’s, and adolescent’s health, the Commission on Ending Childhood Obesity, and the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development.
Additionally, GPW13, approved in May 2018, highlights the reduction of salt/sodium intake and elimination of trans-fats as priority actions to ensure healthy lives and well-being for all.
