Question to the Department for International Development:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what progress has been made on plans to improve nutrition-specific programmes in low and middle-income countries.
DFID is on track with our commitment to improve the nutrition of 50 million people by 2020. We are continuing to strengthen nutrition-specific programmes in the countries where we work. These services will contribute to reducing stunting and make sure acute malnutrition is treated effectively. We support Governments that are part of the Scaling up Nutrition (SUN) Movement to do the same.
