Nutrition Report to Congress, FY 2021

The joint explanatory statement (JES) accompanying the FY 2021 State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs (SFOPS) Appropriations Act mandated a report on nutrition outcomes achieved over the previous fiscal year that is publicly available and tracks progress toward the 2025 World Health Assembly global targets on stunting, wasting, anemia, and breastfeeding. The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) submits this report that includes: the outcomes, disaggregated at the Mission level, including nutrition-specific treatment and prevention interventions on a country-by-country basis; the approximate number of additional children treated for severe acute malnutrition as a result of United States Government (USG) assistance; and the approximate number of additional children receiving vitamin A as a result of such assistance. This report is also responsive to the directive in the joint explanatory statement for the FY 2021 Agriculture Appropriations Act, regarding a report on nutrition outcomes over the past 12 months by the Food for Peace (FFP) Title II program.
