Book excerpt: This review was commissioned by the World Health Organization (WHO) to collate updates and share new resources for those seeking to implement anaemia reduction efforts worldwide. The purpose of the review is to help Member States and their partners in their efforts to understand and make informed decisions on the appropriate nutrition actions needed to prevent and control anaemias. The objective is to summarize and reference key information and resources that can be applied in these anaemia reduction efforts, including (i) the scope of factors associated with anaemia that should be addressed in the process of applying anaemia reduction efforts - both direct and indirect causes or factors found to be directly associated with anaemia; (ii) a compendium of efforts recommended and feedback from those working on anaemia reduction in different countries; and (iii) steps to consider in terms of priority and readiness in the path for anaemia reduction. This review is directed to a wide audience, including, but not limited to policy-makers, economists and technical and programme staff in ministries and organizations involved in the design, implementation and scaling-up of nutrition actions for public health.
