The Global Atlas tool is an outcome of a joint initiative between the units of VAM and School Feeding which tries to improve the targeting process and help identify areas where Food for Education can be most effective. Part of this tool are a multi-thematic geo-referenced database and maps. The map shows the prevalence of stunting in children below five years of age. Stunting (height for age) indicates chronic malnutrition. Five different categories are illustrated: a) above 40%; b) 30-40%; c) 20-30%; d) 10-20%; and e) below 10%.The Global Atlas tool aims to improve the targeting process and help identify areas where Food for Education can be most effective in order to prioritise interventions.WFP Units of VAM and School Feeding VAM/School feedingWFPVia C.
