Description
The Ministry of Health, with the support of nutrition partners (donors, United Nations agencies, civil society) is committed to increasing the coverage of essential nutrition interventions (curative and preventive) by the health system: by conducting awareness campaigns on the importance of vitamin A and micronutrient supplementation, promoting nutrition education, strengthening the capacities of providers on the protocol for the management of vitamin A, and severe acute malnutrition, by increasing the coverage of malnutrition care in health facilities, including basic health units (BHUs) and by making therapeutic inputs available, in particular by promoting local products. This improvement will be measured annually through the coverage rate of vitamin A supplementation among children aged 6 to 59 months, which will increase from 0% in 2024 to 80% in 2030
