Malnutrition Gap as a New Measure of Child Malnutrition : A Global Application

“Leaving no one behind” is an overarching principle of the Sustainable Development Goals. Many countries are prioritizing resources for those who are furthest behind. Existing malnutrition indicators—underweight, stunting, wasting, overweight, and severe wasting—are headcount ratios. They do not capture how far behind malnourished children are relative to the World Health Organization growth standards. To understand the severity of malnutrition, this study develops a new malnutrition measurement, using the method originally developed for estimating poverty. This study estimates the prevalence, gap, and gap squared for stunting, wasting, overweight, and underweight, using data from 94 developing countries over 20 years.

All of the reports in the Documents & Reports site are for public use. However, many of the reports are only released to the public after passing a certain milestone, such as Board approval for projects or perhaps a time delay in the case of Economic and Sector work. In such cases the papers are technically internal until the approval conditions are met. Because the document is then released in its original state, the cover may still contain the phrase for official use only. However, you will note that on the left margin of the cover is “Public Disclosure Authorized” indicating that all proper procedures under the Access to Information policy have been followed.
