BACKGROUND
Malnutrition among pregnant women and young children has been a resurging issue to be addressed globally in the recent years. International platforms, countries and organizations are committed to planning interventions to prevent malnutrition during the first 1000 days from pregnancy to the first 2 years of the infant’s life, the critical period where malnutrition, especially undernutrition, results in irreversible physical and cognitive impairments that prevent children from achieving their full potential.
In particular, Cambodia, Lao PDR and Myanmar belong to the 20 countries identified with the highest burden of malnutrition, which constitutes to 80% of the world’s undernourished children. As such, this 1-day seminar on August 11, 2016 will continue to review current nutrition status of pregnant and lactating mothers, infants and young children as well as current programs and relevant practices in Cambodia, Lao PDR and Myanmar. Topics such as complementary feeding and adolescent pregnancy will be addressed as well.
