Abstract/Description

This report summarizes all the findings of the review that was conducted over a 6-month period in 2012, placing it in the context of the macro-policy environment in India in which decisions have been, and are being, made to tackle undernutrition. An effort has been made to present the findings in such a way that the review and policy assessments can help strengthen the overall enabling environment that is required to fast-track action in India on undernutrition.
