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.

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.
