This third progress report presents highlights of operational developments in the European Union’s (EU) external assistance concerned with nutrition and provides updates on progress towards its two commitments in nutrition: to support partner countries in reducing the number of stunted children under the age of five by at least 7 million by 2025 and to ensure the allocation of EUR 3.5 billion between 2014 and 2020 to improve nutrition in developing countries. This report was issued as a Staff Working Document on 9 October 2018 [SWD(2018)441 final]. It presents examples of the Commission’s nutrition work characterised by a strong gender dimension, aimed at individuals at different stages of the life cycle and applied across sectors. It is anticipated that such cross-cutting approaches will also secure progress in addressing boundaries between different forms of malnutrition.
