Abstract
It highlights the role of adolescents, particularly girls, in shaping society and contributing to family health and nutrition. The document emphasizes that adolescents are often overlooked in global nutrition initiatives, despite their critical role in breaking the cycle of malnutrition. It also explores the synergies between interventions targeted towards the first 1,000 days and adolescents, and discusses the need for nationally representative data and effective approaches to improve nutrition in this age group.
