MILLENIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS (MDG)

WHO Fact Sheet of 2013
Target 1.A:
Halve, between 1990 and 2015, the proportion
of people whose income is less than $1.25 a
day
The target of reducing extreme poverty rates by half
was met five years ahead of the 2015 deadline.
The global poverty rate at $1.25 a day fell in 2010 to
less than half the 1990 rate. 700 million fewer people
lived in conditions of extreme poverty in 2010 than in
1990. However, at the global level 1.2 billion people are
still living in extreme poverty.
Target 1.B:
Achieve full and productive employment
and decent work for all, including
women and young people
Globally, 384 million workers lived below the
$1.25 a day poverty line in 2011a reduction of
294 million since 2001.
The gender gap in employment persists, with a
24.8 percentage point difference between men
and women in the employment-to-population ratio
in 2012.
Target 1.C:
Halve, between 1990 and 2015, the
proportion of people who suffer from
hunger
The hunger reduction target is within reach by
2015.
Globally, about 870 million people are estimated
to be undernourished.
More than 100 million children under age five are
still undernourished and underweight.

Factors influencing childrens food intake and
nutritional practices.

While there seemed to be lack of systematic data
on changing dietary habits and eating behaviours,
participants, based on observations, mentioned a
mix of factors that determined dietary patterns,
including:
NUTRITION AND FOOD PRODUCTION
Nutrition awareness of mothers
Food availability at home and in schools
Income (vs. Food prices)
Nutrition awareness of school teachers
Peer pressure/ influences
Media and advertising
Breakfast skipping
Proliferation of food industry and fast food
Street foods sold outside schools and
schools lack of control
School gardening and production
programmes were constrained by lack of space
and inputs in some countries, especially in
urban areas.
School gardens that should served as a
demonstration ground and provide
opportunities for children to learn how to grow
vegetables, fruits and raise small animals,
including poultry
According to the REPORT OF THE TECHNICAL MEETING
OF THEASIA PACIFIC NETWORK FOR FOOD AND NUTRITION ON
SCHOOL BASED NUTRITION, a growing number of developing
countries are faced with a double burden of malnutrition: the
persistence of undernutrition, especially among children, along
with emerging problems of overweight and obesity, and diet-
related chronic diseases. Both conditions are often associated
with problems of micronutrient deficiencies.
In Asia the double burden of malnutrition has become
an increasing concern for many countries independent of their
economic development. The co-existence of undernutrition and
obesity is becoming more widespread and imposes an
additional burden on already stretched social and health care
services, especially in urban areas.
Improving the nutritional status of
school-age children is an effective
investment for the future. - FOOD AND
