We at the Nutritional and Health Related Environmental Studies Section (NAHRES), the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) have reviewed the HLPE draft report and find it already very well structured. It covers the complex array of nutrition drivers in a highly competent manner. We propose a few areas where there could be improvement.
1. The conceptual framework need to be more simplified to aid easy comprehension by a wider audience
2. The concept of the double burden of malnutrition is not well articulated; our perception is that this phenomenon applies at individual (one could be stunted and obese at same time or stunting earlier could be a risk factor for obesity later), household (different members of same household could suffer different forms of malnutrition), national (cuntries in transition), regional and global level.
Our other detailed comments are attached.
