Commitment to Reducing Stunting in Ecuador: 2025-2030
Description
From 2025 to 2030, the Advisory Council for the Prevention and Reduction of Stunting in Ecuador commits to collaborating with the National Government, within the framework of the national strategy Ecuador Grows Without Malnutrition, and with relevant stakeholders to help reduce stunting from 19.3% to 15% in children under the age of two.
To achieve this, we will:
-Implement social mobilization campaigns actively engaging citizens in stunting prevention.
-Promote political advocacy to strengthen regulatory frameworks and public policies prioritizing early childhood.
-Enhance monitoring and oversight through the creation of an Observatory to ensure goal compliance, transparency, and accountability.
Progress will be evaluated annually, with key milestones established for each activity.
