  • The report, Undernutrition in the Philippines, assesses the determinants and causes of childhood undernutrition and reviews current policies and programs directed at addressing this problem. Based on these analyses, the report provides recommendations of how national policies and programs can be strengthened to reduce the high rates of undernutrition in the country. It sets out to inform the debate on the causes and potential solutions of undernutrition while identifying high-priority policies and policy commitments for action.

    Let's talk about the causes and potential solutions of undernutrition in the Philippines. Join us for the launch of the World Bank report, 'Undernutrition in the Philippines,' on June 10, 9:30am. Tune in on Facebook Live @WorldBankPhilippines
