It reviews the policy and intervention landscape addressing malnutrition, then applies a stepwise assessment approach covering identification, categorization, and expenditure data assignment. Results quantify public spending by intervention type and provide provincial distribution insights. The report concludes with key findings, limitations, tracking challenges, and forward-looking messages for improving financial information use in nutrition programming.","Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized  \nReport No: AUS0001368  \nSri Lanka  \nPER for Nutrition in Sri Lanka Assessing Public Financing for Nutrition in Sri Lanka (2014–2018)  \nFebruary 2020  \nHNP  \nDocument of the World Bank  \nAssessing Public Financing for Nutrition in Sri Lanka (2014–2018)  \nFebruary 2020  \n© 2020 The World Bank  \n1818 H Street NW, Washington DC 20433  \nTelephone: 202-473-1000; [Internet: www.worldbank.org](Internet: www.worldbank.org)  \nSome rights reserved  \nThis work is a product of the staff of The World Bank.
