Call for Submissions on Nutrition Country Profiles
General Information
The Global Nutrition Report 2014 published 193 Nutrition Country Profiles, capturing the status and
progress of all UN Member States. Nutrition Country Profiles include over 80 indicators detailing child,
adolescent, and adult anthropometry and nutritional status, as well as intervention coverage, food
supply, economics, and demography. We want this tool to be particularly useful for nutrition champions
at the country-level, as it presents a wide range of evidence needed to assess country progress in
improving nutrition and nutrition-related outcomes. Nutrition Country Profiles are available here, and a
Global Nutrition Profile is available here.
In anticipation of the Global Nutrition Report 2015, we will be launching a country-by-country series of
short case studies on the profiles, written by interested potential users who work in the country in
question. They will reflect on the stories the profiles tell, compare them with the reality they see, offer
ideas for using the profiles and ways of making them more useful. Successful case study submissions
will be published periodically on the Global Nutrition Report website.
This Call for Submissions for case studies to the 193 Nutrition Country Profiles should respond to the
following areas utilising the country profile data:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Understanding the nature and distribution of malnutrition within the country
Identifying opportunities for action to accelerate improvements in nutrition
Identifying key data gaps that need to be filled
Ways of using nutrition data to engage decision makers in your country
