Mobilise financial resources from the state budget to the tune of 600 million each year for the purchase of RUTF (Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food).
Description
Malnutrition is caused by various factors that affect several sectors and directly or indirectly affect the body's intake and absorption of nutrients. The immediate determinants of malnutrition are inadequate nutrient intake and the presence of disease. The underlying determinants of malnutrition are multiple and multisectoral and include poor food availability at the household level, poor care practices, poor access to health services and inadequate environments (poor access to water, hygiene and sanitation). Combating malnutrition requires a multisectoral approach, targeting both the immediate determinants but also the underlying determinants and the root determinants that address 12 of the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals for long-term gains. Mali's various commitments are in line with its strategic commitment to strengthen the multisectoral and multi-stakeholder approach since 2013.
