It draws on a review of existing policy against global best practice and on Mongolia’s progress toward global and national nutrition targets. Unhealthy diets are identified as a major driver of malnutrition in all its forms, with major health, education, income, and productivity consequences. While child undernutrition has declined, limited progress remains for targets related to healthy diets, overweight/obesity, and diet-related NCDs.","Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized  \nStrengthening Mongolia’s Policy Framework for Healthy Diets  \nHealth,  \nNutrition, & Population  \nJune 2025  \nStrengthening Mongolia’s Policy Framework for Healthy Diets  \nHealth, Nutrition, & Population  \nJune 2025  \nACKNOWLEDGEMENTS  \nThis report was produced and written by a task team consisting of Libby Hattersley (Consultant, HEAH2), Uranchimeg Tsevelvaanchig (Extended Term Consultant, HEAH2), and Kate Mandeville (Senior Health Specialist and Task Team Leader, HEAH2) .  \nThe team would like to sincerely thank staff from the National Center of Public Health, Mongolian National University of Medical Sciences (School of Public Health), Mongolian University of Science and Technology (Center for Improvement of Nutrition), United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), World Health Organization (WHO), and the Ministry of Health for their time and support for this report.  \nThe team would also like to thank Kyoko Shibata Okamura (Senior Nutrition Specialist, HHNGE) and Chiara Dell’Aira (Young Professional, HHNGE) for their insightful comments, Badamkhand Bold for her administrative support, as well as Caryn Bredenkamp (Practice Manager, HEAH2) and Taehyun Lee (Country Manager, EACMF) for their guidance.  \n© 2025 The World Bank  \n1818 H Street NW, Washington DC 20433  \nTelephone: 202-473-1000; [Internet: ](Internet: www.worldbank.org)[www.worldbank.org](Internet: www.worldbank.org)  \nSome rights reserved.  \nThis work is a product of The World Bank.
