Reduce wasting prevalence in children under five years of age

By 2030, Cambodia commits to reduce wasting prevalence among children under 5 years of age to 5% through increased nutrition health services in primary health care; coverage of child wasting identification and receiving treatment; enhanced financing, policies and guidelines; improved practices of child growth monitoring and infant and young child feeding; and mitigated financial barriers to enable equal access to and use of nutrition services.

Commitment strategies:

A. Increase coverage of screening, referral, those receiving treatment and those recovered among severe and moderate wasting children by 2030.

B. Increase annually the national budget for nutrition programme interventions and nutrition commodities for treatment of severe and moderate wasting.

C. Increase coverage of health care service capacity development for management of moderate and severe wasting children and enhanced quality of programme management and monitoring.
