Volume 718: debated on Monday 15 March 2010

Statement

My honourable friend the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for International Development (Mike Foster) has made the following Written Ministerial Statement.

I have today placed in the Library of the House the Department for International Development’s new strategy, entitled The Neglected Crisis of Undernutrition: DfID’s Strategy. An electronic version of the strategy is also available on the DfID website at www.dfid.gov.uk/nutritionstrategy.

The Neglected Crisis of Undernutrition: DFID’s Strategy sets out DfID’s strategy to tackle undernutrition. It presents a brief overview of the situation and its implications for DfID’s role and priorities in nutrition over the coming years.
