Action plan to reduce the double burden of malnutrition in the Western Pacific Region (2015-2020)

World Health Organization: Regional Office for the Western Pacific

The Action Plan to Reduce the Double Burden of Malnutrition in the Western Pacific Region (2015-2020) brings together nutrition-related actions from global and regional guidance documents to address diet-related diseases and reduce nutritional risk factors. The plan aims to achieve eight nutrition targets: the six global nutrition targets and two of the nine voluntary NCD targets - to reduce salt intake and halt the increase in obesity and diabetes - endorsed by the World Health Assembly in 2012. This plan describes the magnitude of the double burden of malnutrition in the Region in changing nutritional landscapes. The plan highlights the achievements in reducing undernutrition and the need to halt the rise in overweight, obesity and diet-related NCDs.
