This data is astounding and saddening too! While measures must be taken to combat malnutrition directly, efforts also need to be made to address the causes, some of which has been indicated by other readers. Under and unemployment, low wages, gender disparities, unfair trade practices, drought,and lack of information supported by strong political will must be tackled simultaneously to ensure sustainable results. This will certainly take much longer, but not addressing these issues can only mean cosmetic solutions.
