It was in June 2013, at the Nutrition for Growth (N4G) Summit ‘Beating Hunger through Business and Science’,1 that a decision was made to publish a report on nutrition each year in order to review the global situation, highlight successes, recommend actions and hold signatories accountable in their efforts to achieve their voluntarily assumed targets in nutrition (Nutrition for Growth, 2013).2 The result is the annual Global Nutrition Report (referred to hereafter as ‘the Report’). According to its copyright page, the Report is produced by an ‘Independent Expert Group (IEG) empowered by the Global Nutrition Report Stakeholder Group. The writing [is] a collective effort by the IEG members, supplemented by additional analysts and writers’. The Reports are published by the International Food Policy Research Institute
