Child stunting and linear growth faltering have declined over the past few decades and several countries have made exemplary progress.

Frontline workers (FLWs) deliver essential nutrition services to reduce maternal undernutrition in India, but coverage and quality remain sub-optimal.

Interventions to improve maternal nutrition are poorly integrated into antenatal care (ANC) services in India.

Global attention to reducing childhood stunting has increased the demand for guidance on translating policies into impact.

Administrative Data (AD) are a key component of nutrition data systems, but little is known about how AD are used or can be reshaped for accountability and action.
