    Rates of malnutrition in Bangladesh are among the highest in the world. More than 54% of preschool-age children, equivalent to more than 9.5 million children, are stunted, 56% are underweight and more than 17% are wasted (Maps 2, 3 and 4 ). Although all administrative divisions were affected by child malnutrition there were important differences in the prevalences of the three anthropometric indicators. The prevalence of underweight ranged from 49.8% in Khulna to 64.0% in Sylhet which also showe d the highest prevalence of stunting (61.4%) and wasting (20.9%). Despite the high levels, rates of stunting have declined steadily over the past 10 years.

    Cambodia’s tragic history has prevented use of any trend analysis since the country as been recovering from more than 20 years of civil strife. Essentially, there is a general lack of specific nutrition information on Cambodia but current information on crop production and child nutritional status is being collected more and more now that the focus of the government and its counterparts has turned towards development rather than relief.

    Ethiopia: Report on feed inventory and feed balance
    2018
    2018
    Also available in:

    Available evidence indicates that pastoral destitution in Ethiopia is principally driven by feed and water scarcity. Feed resources ought to be considered in the broader perspective and not predominantly during emergency as is the case now. Feed inventory and balance is therefore requisite such that the country is aware of its needs, resource availability, gaps, implications and how the gap can be filled within the country. This will make feed interventions in the country effective in the immediate, medium and long term as well as provide solutions for replication in the region. This document presents feed inventory and balance for Ethiopia.
