Incentivizing Nutrition
Incentive Mechanisms to Accelerate Improved Nutrition Outcomes
The report, Incentive Mechanisms to Accelerate Improved Nutrition Outcomes and the accompanying Practitioner’s Compendium provide important guidance for cost-effective multi-sectoral efforts to scale up nutrition programming by incentivizing nutrition interventions. Investing in nutrition will contribute to achieving the World Bank’s dual goals of ending extreme poverty and promoting shared prosperity. The coordinated support of the international community is important to optimizing the rising trend in nutrition investment, which was galvanized by the global Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) movement, and reaffirmed at the 2012 World Health Assembly where world leaders committed to reaching six global nutrition targets by 2025.
