Malnutrition is a still major contributor to the Global Burden of Disease with shifts globally to nutrition-related chronic diseases. Here are the nutrition related rankings (page 2248).
Globally, diets low in fruit is the 5th contributor to the GBD followed by underweight in children (8th), iron deficiency (13th), and suboptimal breastfeeding (14th ). There are many other nutrition-related contributors related to poor intake of high-quality foods and vitamin A deficiency (29th) and zinc (31st).
In Africa, underweight in children is the first contributor to the GBD followed by iron deficiency (3rd) and suboptimal breastfeeding (4th). South Asia is a different story with underweight (4th), diets low in fruits (5th), iron deficiency (9th), and suboptimal breastfeeding (10th).

Humanitarian response in pastoral areas in the Horn of Africa has consistently been late, despite an enormous investment in early warning. Attempts to improve early response focus on improving the performance of one or two actors, or introducing new tools.
• Such approaches are needed, but they are not enough: what is needed is an overhaul of the response system as a whole.
• This Network Paper sets out three ideas for moving forward: a new framework for livelihoods programming and contingency
planning; a new approach to preparedness;and a new conceptual framework for thinking about the response system as a whole. Revisiting the problems of timely response to crises in the Horn of Africa.
