WHAT FACTORS CAUSE UNDERNUTRITION1? The most crucial period for child nutrition is from pre- pregnancy to the second year of life Optimum fetal and child nutrition and development NUTRITION SPECIFIC IMMEDIATE DETERMINANTS INTERVENTIONS Breastfeeding, nutrient rich foods, Service delivery to mothers caregiving practices and infants along the Low burden of infectious diseases continuum of care, access to health facilities INTERVENTIONS THAT AFFECT UNDERLYING AND BASIC UNDERLYING AND BASIC DETERMINANTS DETERMINANTS Women’s status, sanitation and Women's empowerment, hygiene, food security, socio sanitation, agriculture and economic conditions social safety net programs Child undernutrition is caused by inadequacies in food, health and care for infants and young children, especially in the first two years of life (immediate determinants). Mothers’ and infants’ access to nutrition-specific interventions can influence these immediate determinants. At the household and community level, women’s status, household food security, hygiene and socio economic conditions further contribute to children’s nutrition outcomes (underlying and basic determinants). Interventions such as social safety nets, sanitation programs, women’s empowerment and agriculture programs have the potential to improve nutrition by addressing underlying and basic determinants.
