Briefing note on child wasting in South Asia (FEX 63)

In partnership with UNICEF regional office for South Asia, ENN produced a special edition of Field Exchange (issue 63) in October 2020 that focused on child wasting in South Asia. The edition aimed to increase the understanding of child wasting in South Asia and identify the challenges and opportunites to support advocacy efforts and inform policy, programme and research priorities. 

This brief has been prepared by the Field Exchange Team to summarise highlights from the edition. We share some of the critical issues identfied by contributors that underpin insufficient attention and action on wasting management in the region, provide a snapshot of opportunities and challenges reflected in articles, and share regionally identified priority actions.
