Improve access to food and reduce undernutrition among children and women
Description
Our commitment focuses on improving maternal and child nutrition through targeted interventions. To reduce anemia among women, we will increase iron and folic acid supplementation, promote dietary diversity, and enhance antenatal care. To lower low birth weight rates, we will strengthen maternal nutrition, improve healthcare access, and promote birth spacing. Exclusive breastfeeding will be encouraged through community programs, healthcare worker training, and workplace support.
For child nutrition, we aim to reduce stunting by improving food security, expanding growth monitoring, and enhancing WASH services. Wasting will be addressed through early detection, therapeutic feeding programs, and responsive feeding practices. To prevent overweight in young children, we will promote healthy complementary feeding, limit processed foods, and integrate nutrition education into early childhood programs.
