Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what steps her Department is taking to tackle under-nutrition in infants and young children in high-burden countries.

The Government has committed to improve the nutrition of 50 million people in developing countries by 2020. We will particularly focus on preventing and treating undernutrition among infants and young children. We will also equip governments in the Scaling Up Nutrition Movement to sustain improvements in the nutrition of children in their own countries.
