Potential savings with averted wasting cases over the next 10 years (2021–2030).

* assumption 1: calculated according to the reduction in prevalence over the year and “Estimated losses during 2021–2030 if no action − Estimated losses considering wasting AARR (2021–2030)”.** assumption 2: all the averted GAM children would have been treated and their caregivers on duty to bring them to the facility.
