Global Nutrition Targets 2025: Policy brief series

In 2012, the World Health Assembly Resolution endorsed a comprehensive implementation plan on maternal, infant, and young child nutrition. This policy brief series outlines a set of six global nutrition targets that by 2025 aim to:

• achieve a 40% reduction in the number of children under-5 who are stunted;
• achieve a 50% reduction of anaemia in women of reproductive age;
• achieve a 30% reduction in low birth weight;
• ensure that there is no increase in childhood overweight;
• increase the rate of exclusive breastfeeding in the first 6 months up to at least 50%;
• reduce and maintain childhood wasting to less than 5%.
