Note: The blanks denote the UN subregions for which insufficient population coverage exists to calculate an aggregate (50 percent of the population of the subregion or region needs to be covered by the national data). Data are from 2008–2012. LAC = Latin America and the Caribbean.

Note: The five interventions are (1) early initiation of breastfeeding, (2) exclusive breastfeeding of infants under six months old, (3) continued breastfeeding up to 12 months, (4) vitamin A supplementation of preschool-age children, and (5) iron–folic acid supplementation of pregnant women for more than 90 days. Countries are classi- fied as having weak coverage if coverage is less than 50 percent.
