To assist countries setting their own targets and monitor progress, WHO, UNICEF and the European Commission, with the support of other key partners, developed a web-based Tracking tool. The translation of global targets into national targets needs to consider nutrition profiles, risk factor trends, demographic changes, experience with developing and implementing nutrition policies, and health system development.

3 The Tracking tool allows users to explore scenarios taking into account different rates of progress for the six targets and the time left to 2025. The tool complements existing tools on nutrition interventions, impact and costing. The tool s underlying data will be updated as new estimates of the target indicators become available, such as the UNICEF-WHO-World Bank joint malnutrition estimates for stunting, wasting and overweight. Outputs from the Tracking Tool will feed into the Global Monitoring Framework for Maternal, Infant and Young Child Nutrition, the Global Nutrition Report, and reports from other global initiatives, such as the SUN Movement and the UN Secretary-General s Zero Hunger Challenge.

4 Acknowledgement Yves Martin-Prevel with support from Pauline Allemand, IRD, developed a prototype for the stunting tool. Elaine Borghi and Monika Bl ssner from the WHO Department of Nutrition provided data and technical advice for this pilot project, financed by the European Commission. The expanded and enhanced web-based tool covering all six global nutrition target indicators was developed by Elaine Borghi and Monika Bl ssner, WHO Department of Nutrition, and Roderic Mills, IT consultant. Monica Crissel Flores-Urrutia and Elisa Dominguez perform regular checks to insure the proper maintenance and updates of the data.

5 Julia Krasevec, UNICEF data and analytics unit, provided the data and target design for exclusive breastfeeding. She also reviewed the tool development versions. Additional valuable suggestions and ideas were received from Yves Martin-Prevel (IRD), Pauline Allemand (FAO), Lina Mahy (UNSCN), Patrizia Fracassi and Shaoyu Lin (SUN), Rebecca Olson and Jennifer Rigg (1000days), Ellen Piwoz (Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation), Lawrence Haddad (IFPRI), Georgina Fekete (Child Investment Fund Foundation), and Katrin Engelhardt, Gretchen Stevens, Laurence Grummer-Strawn, Mercedes de Onis and Francesco Branca from WHO.

6 The team is grateful to the continuous support from staff at WHO headquarters, in Geneva, and Kuala Lumpur IT guide Tracking Tool Page 1 The Tracking Tool overview This interactive tool contains three modules: 1. Country indicator profiles 2. Indicator mapping 3. Global and regional overviews Modules 1 and 2 include features for: child stunting1, overweight1, and wasting1, exclusive breastfeeding2 and anaemia in women of reproductive age (15 to 49 years), pregnant and non-pregnant combined 3,4 , as well as separate, and low In module 3, target indicator progress tables include the same five indicators mentioned above and the global progress report includes summary data for all six global target indicators.

7 This document provides a Quick user s guide on the tool features. Glossary and technical notes for methods and data sources are also available at For a complete list of available support documentation, please consult the guide tab or the help botton - of the tool s homepage. Indicator estimates used in the tool will be updated regularly (at least once a year). The year referred to as report year serve as a reference for progress monitoring purposes only. For example, in the 2016 edition, report year is 2015, and so forth. The six WHO targets on nutrition were set at the global level as default national targets included in this tool, but countries should define their own national targets for contributing to each of the global targets.
