For decades, wasting and stunting have been approached as separate conditions, largely disconnected in advocacy, programming, policy and financing. This has had negative implications for how children receive nutrition interventions and services across the world: support is often provided by different stakeholders who offer different interventions, often in different contexts, to different age groups and with different timeframes. A systematic review of evidence was published in 2021 in the journal Maternal and Child Nutrition.

A Briefing Note for policy makers and programme implementers. This policy brief is an is the culmination of the research and discussion of the ENN-coordinated Wasting-Stunting (WaSt) Technical Interest Group (TIG) over the last 4 years and presents the compelling scientific grounds for concluding that the current separation between wasting and stunting in policy, programmes and research is not justified and may even be detrimental. Greater programming efficiency and effectiveness can be realised if both forms of undernutrition are jointly tackled.

This technical brief shares the extensive experience of the Wasting and Stunting Technical Interest Group (WaSt-TIG) in scrutinising data through the lens of the relationship between wasting and stunting in the hope that it will inspire and facilitate others to do the same. Data used by the group include multiple datasets drawn from diverse settings and which have been collected with a variety of objectives, methodologies and study designs.

In this article, the authors investigate the relevance of people’s perceptions about their own ability to handle current and future events (referred to as "subjective resilience") in the context of emerging literature on resilience in relation to humanitarian and food security interventions. They hypothesize that subjective resilience is key in strengthening people’s resilience. The authors propose a conceptual framework to help identify the subjective element of resilience.

Excess male morbidity and mortality is well recognised in neonatal medicine and infant health. In contrast, within global nutrition, it is commonly assumed that girls are more at risk of experiencing undernutrition. We explore evidence for any male/female differences in child undernutrition using anthropometric case definitions and the reasons for differences observed.

Weight-for-age z-score is not an admission criterion to therapeutic feeding programs & children with low WAZ at high risk of mortality may not be admitted.
