This report provides a summary of the technical consultation From Double Burden to Double Duty: Policy and Programmatic Implications of Double-Duty Actions to Address the Full Spectrum of Malnutrition. The meeting was hosted by the Global Financing Facility (GFF) in partnership with the World Health Organization (WHO), the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), City University of London, and other development partners. It was held virtually via Zoom on December 3, 7, and 9, 2020 with a 2.5- hour session each day. The consultation provided a valuable experience-informed discussion and framing for the renewed interest in the DBM and the role that DDA can play in addressing the DBM. The meeting served to identify critical conditions, actions, and activities that set the stage for adapting the existing nutrition policies to incorporate DDA and enable the reformulation and redesign of programs to include DDA. Participants identified the next steps that country implementers and decision-makers should take.
