Description

Senegal is committed through the National Council of Nutrition Development (CNDN) and with the contribution of the various nutrition stakeholders (Scaling Up Nutrition networks of Senegal) to reduce the rate of stunting among children under 5 years of age to less than 10% by focusing on operationalising the Multisectoral Strategic Plan for Nutrition (PSMN) communication strategy, implementing nutrition-sensitive interventions of the sectors contributing to the PSMN, promoting maternal feeding and infant and young child feeding practices and strengthening integrated approaches for service delivery at all levels, supported by community engagement. Progress on the commitment will be measured every two years from the Demographic and Health Surveys and during the midterm and final reviews of the PSMN in order to reorient interventions.
