Despite the high potential of nutrition interventions to save lives and to improve the quality of life of those who survive, programs are not being implemented effectively or at scale in most regions of the world.

The symposium sought to explore knowledge on determinants of delivery and utilization, demonstrate approaches for studying them, and highlight future research needs.
