Optimal nutrition lays the foundation for lifelong health, learning, and economic and social performance; it is one of the most important investments that can be made to realizing the rights of every child, especially the most disadvantaged.In a world where undernutrition contributes to almost half of child deaths globally and afflicts the poorest and most vulnerable children and communities, 1 UNICEF’s rights-based approach to maternal, infant and child nutrition is crucial to tackling this inequity. In 2014,UNICEF’s Nutrition Sector continued to be a leader in the scale-up of high-impact nutrition interventions, supporting countries in ensuring the equitable improvement of maternal, infant and child nutrition, with particular focus on the critical 1,000-day window covering a woman’s pregnancy through the first two years of a child’s life.In the first year of UNICEF’s 2014–2017 Strategic Plan, the Nutrition Sector met most of its expecteresults under Outcome 4 – the improved and equitable use of nutrition support and improved nutrition and care practices. These results are organized according to five programme areas:
1. general nutrition
2. infant and young childfeeding
3. micronutrients
4. nutrition in emergencies and the management of SAM
5. nutrition and HIV
