This summary report presents key findings and trends from nutrition landscape analyses undertaken across fourteen countries as part of the GSM Association Mobile for Development (GSMA) Nutrition Initiative funded by UK Department for International Development (DFID). The report focuses on trends in nutritional status, immediate causes of malnutrition, underlying causes of malnutrition and the snapshots of geographical variations across countries.
The analyses serve as a useful guide for stakeholders in developing nutrition-related content for mobile services in participating countries. The findings highlight the potential of harnessing the power of mobile technologies to improve the nutritional status of children (under 5 years of age) and women of reproductive age.
