Challenges posed by underweight, overweight, wasting, and stunting, along with children not reaching their developmental potential are widespread and have long-term negative consequences to the individual and society. Implementation of multisectoral programmes as proposed by the Nurturing Care Framework requires collaboration across sectors and attention to policies, finance, and governance, in parallel with workforce development and stakeholder involvement. A strong evidence-based conceptual framework is an initial step to guiding policies and programmes that will enable all children to survive and thrive.
