3. Reach the targets of the World Health Assembly and increase them to at least 5%, 18% and 72% respectively for acute malnutrition, chronic malnutrition and exclusive breastfeeding by 2025.
4. Raise, to at least 80%, the rate of health establishments offering nutrition services within the framework of universal health coverage by 2025.
5. Develop a contingency plan for nutritional and food resilience by 2023.
6. Achieve the process led by the Côte d’Ivoire to make 2022 a year of the AU dedicated to nutrition and food systems by February 2022.
