August 1, 2025 – The latest Joint Child Malnutrition Estimates 2025 report by WHO, the World Bank, and UNICEF reveals that the world is not on track to meet the 2025 World Health Assembly and Sustainable Development Goal Target 2.2 nutrition targets. The report, a collaborative effort by the UNICEF-WHO-WB inter-agency group, provides crucial data on child stunting, wasting, overweight, and underweight. Country progress assessments towards the 2030 targets are aggregated into regional summaries and included in the report.
The inter-agency group updates the global and regional estimates of prevalence and numbers for each indicator every other year. Past reports are available as well as PowerPoint presentations, an interactive dashboard, and the data for 2025 are available on UNICEF’s website.
