Undernutrition remains a major source of human suffering and an obstacle to national economic and human development in many African countries. This report investigates undernutrition's persistence, drawing on case studies of the public response to the problem in Ghana, Mozambique, Nigeria, and Uganda. Analyzing each nation's policymaking structures, political actors, understanding of undernutrition, and the timing of public responses, the author explains why none of these four nations has mounted an effective campaign to eliminate undernutrition. The author identifes several different causes of this shortcoming, with one underlying flaw in the various public responses standing out: a fundamental failure on the part of political leaders to see undernutrition as a grave problem that undermines development efforts in their nations. The author concludes that an effective response to undernutrition in these countries requires the formation of national advocacy coalitions that can raise public awareness of the problem, highlight policymakers' duty to ensure the nutrition of their citizens, and link proper nutrition to general national development. This report should serve as a resource for advocates, researchers, and others concerned with undernutrition in Africa.

Despite severe exogenous shocks, the macroeconomic program remained broadly on track, and several social indicators, particularly in the area of basic education, progressed. A variety of measures have been successfully implemented to improve the environment for private sector development, reduce the vulnerability of the rural sector, and strengthen public finance management. A more comprehensive framework for growth-enhancing policies should encompass the rural sector; foster the development of analytical links between budgets and results; and strengthen the role of the Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP) as an integrative framework for sectoral policies.

Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2016 in the subject Health - Public Health, Northumbria University (Social Health and Wellbeing), course: Public Health Fundamentals, language: English, abstract: Malnutrition is a serious challenge posing tremendous negative impact in sub-Saharan Africa and the world in general. In view of this, the United Nations (UN) proposed the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG2) which hopes to “End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and ensure sustainable food production by 2030”. Several socio-economic factors have been identified as the principal causes of malnutrition; some of these include poverty, lack of education, poor government policies, poor access to healthcare, poor access to hygienic water supply and environmental sanitation, lack of toilet facilities as well as gender inequality and corruption. However, it is important to note that all of these factors are related to each other in one way or another. Thus, in order to mitigate the continued rise in the level of malnutrition in sub-Saharan Africa, a multifocal approach is needed. These factors should not be approached individually in the process of finding a viable solution to the scourge of malnutrition, rather they should be approached as a collective entity in the planning and implementation of government policies.

Nutrition is the number one health concern in Africa - and nutrition programs can be a magnet for attracting community support to the health system, especially maternal-child health programs. But nutrition is often a secondary concern of health policy, often ignored in food policy, and too often left out of training programs and work plans.

This Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper on the Democratic Republic of Congo discusses economic policies and development. The macroeconomic and budget framework has been developed to take into account the effects of sectoral policies to maintain macroeconomic stability, a necessary condition for laying the foundation of economic growth and poverty reduction. It is based on the profile of public spending, the assessment of costs for achieving the Millennium Development Goals by 2020, and the sector-based economic growth theories taking into account the uncertainties of the international environment and the real potential of the Congolese economy. It is found that it allows for a realistic programming of public spending while highlighting the main budgetary choices proposed by the government.
