Summary[edit]

Summary
Description A child’s upper arm is measured at an Anganwadi centre in the village of Baggad, in Madhya Pradesh’s Dhar district. This is a quick and simple way to check if a child is severely underweight as they have a 10-30% chance of death without treatment.

Eliminating undernutrition would boost wages by up to 50% and make children 33% more likely to escape poverty as adults. In addition, children who are not stunted are 28% more likely to undertake skilled jobs. UK aid is working with the Madhya Pradesh state government to ensure that more children are reached with nutrition services, such as regular screening.
