Tóm tắt :

1. The double burden of malnutrition refers to the coexistence of undernutrition andoverweight/obesity. Despite global, regional and national initiatives, rates of hunger andundernutrition remain unacceptably high in the African Region which is undergoing a nutritionaltransition, with an increasing incidence of overweight/obesity and diet-related noncommunicablediseases.2. A comprehensive implementation plan on maternal, infant and young child nutrition wasadopted by the World Health Assembly in 2012 to achieve six global targets by 2025 and ultimatelyend all forms of malnutrition by 2030. However, progress in the African Region is hampered by apolicy environment that is under-equipped to control the consumption of poor-quality diets, as wellas inadequate resources and capacity for effective programmes.3. This strategy aims to reduce all forms of malnutrition throughout the life course. Oneobjective is to strengthen policies and regulatory frameworks to promote, protect and support theconsumption of safe and healthy foods. Another is to strengthen national capacity and the evidencebase for nutrition programming. The guiding principles include a life-course approach,multisectoral collaboration, universal health coverage and partnerships.4. This strategy proposes priority actions covering legislation and regulation, resourcemobilization, multisectoral action, service delivery, data innovation and research. It also proposesapproaches to improve efficiency by integrating nutrition actions in existing service deliveryplatforms. Mid-term and end-term reviews will be conducted to monitor implementation of thestrategy.5. The Regional Committee reviewed and adopted the strategy. 12 p.
