Q. What are some of the key interventions you focus on?
A. Our starting point is that evidence shows that improving nutrition in the first 1,000 days of life can deliver some of the biggest benefits in development. If you get that nutrition right, you end up with children who are much more able to fulfil their potential and therefore escape the cycle of poverty. If you don’t, then you end up with so-called stunted children – children who are too short for their age and are mentally impaired. That means they learn less at school, and are 20% less productive as adults than children who were not stunted.
