Deaths Associated with Malnutrition
The Triple Burden of Malnutrition:
1. Energy and protein deficiencies: Hunger
2. Specific nutrient deficiencies: Hidden Hunger
3. Excessive net energy intake: Overweight & Obesity

Challenges to Achieve Intersectoral Collaboration
Single-sector orientation of: Policy making institutions Funding Training Research
No incentive to focus on intersectoral issues Sector-specific paradigms
Challenges to Achieve Intersectoral Collaboration
(Continued) Competition between sectors Complexity and capacity constraints
