Commitment
Track improvement in reducing stunting and wasting in children under 5 years of age
Description
Overarching commitment (for commitments submitted pre-2025)
Title
Set a standard, and measure our progress.
Description
Moving forward, Food for the Hungry will track improvements in the prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding of children 0 to 6 months of age, reductions in malnutrition among children under 5 years of age and improvements in dietary diversity across all of our programming. By establishing benchmarks across our publicly and privately funded work, we will elevate the importance of nutrition in our work. As an example, in a recent programme in the DRC that was funded by the US Agency for International Development, Food for the Hungry saw an increase in exclusive breastfeeding from 44% to 72%.
