Views on current issues: The UNICEF international conference against child malnutrition: How can we translate the international consensus into practical results? This article reviews the main recommendations of the conference organised in May by UNICEF in Paris by presenting two complementary points of view. Firstly, Félicité Tchibindat, the regional nutrition advisor of the Unicef office for West and Central Africa, emphasises the importance of scaling up long-term strategies in the countries of this region. She advocates that this broad consensus should now be translated into action and more resources invested. Then Bakari Seidou, a Nigerien member of parliament insists on the role of parliamentarians in increasing national leadership in addressing malnutrition.
