Description
Summary:	Reducing malnutrition is a cornerstone of poverty reduction. General malnutrition and specific micronutrient deficiencies contribute to infant, child, and maternal morbidity; decreased learning capacity; lower productivity and higher mortality.

This note summarizes proven effective core interventions, and suggests ways to choose a set of intervention.
