减少营养不良需要大量财政资源，而减少营养不良的回报也很大。然而，用于减少营养不良的公共资源份额仍然少得不成比例。在海外发展援助方面，对特定营养和营养敏感类别的投资不到总额的3%。其他类别的公共资源投资在减少营养不良方面的潜力如何，在哪些部门可以找到这些投资？本文提出了一个框架来解决这个问题，并冒险一些建议，海外发展援助的类别超出了众所周知的“营养具体”和“营养敏感”类别是最有可能产生改善营养状况，如果他们可以重新设计铭记这一点。我们的结论是，政策制定者应该广泛地考虑潜在的和基本的决定性干预空间的投资，当改变的边缘，可能会导致营养的显着改善。
The financial resource needs for the reduction of undernutrition are significant, while the returns from reducing undernutrition are large. Yet the share of public resources allocated to the reduction of undernutrition remains disproportionately small. For overseas development assistance, the investment in nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive categories amounts to less than 3% of the total. What is the potential for other categories of public resource investments to reduce undernutrition, and in which sectors are these investments to be found? This paper proposes a framework for addressing this question and ventures some suggestions as to which of the categories of overseas development assistance beyond the well-known "nutrition-specific" and "nutrition-sensitive" categories are most likely to yield improvements in nutrition status if they could be redesigned with this in mind. We conclude that policy makers should look widely within the underlying and basic determinant intervention space for investments that, when changed at the margins, could result in significant improvements in nutrition.
