Current anaemia reduction targets might not have been achievable.
As we approach the end of the current Sustainable Development Goals period, the Commission proposes a transformative approach to future target setting.

The success of these projects relies heavily on international cooperation and funding from major bilateral donors.
Recent changes in global foreign aid policies pose a substantial threat to global efforts to understand and reduce the burden of anaemia.

Understanding how key drivers of anaemia differ between population groups will require multiple and innovative efforts.

Up to 2 in 5 women & children globally are affected by anaemia.
Despite the availability of numerous interventions & international guidelines, progress in reducing anaemia has stalled over the past 20 years, falling short of the global target of a 50% reduction by 2030.

Understanding the diverse causes of anaemia is crucial for effective intervention, and global collaboration is key to making progress.
Anaemia arises from a complex interplay of fundamental drivers, intermediate risk factors, and direct causes.

Global efforts to reduce anaemia are stalling & political decisions risk progress.
A new Commission aims to address gaps in evidence, implementation, governance, & target-setting to reinvigorate efforts in anaemia control.
