Commitment
The prevalence of acute malnutrition will be < 5% in 2024 according to Emergency Nutrition Network
Description
To achieve this goal, we will work on prevention, promotion and provision of more care in terms of good coverage. Therefore, we will increase the indirect coverage of the management of severe acute malnutrition from 78.1% in 2018 to 87.0% in 2024 (impact indicator). We will also increase indirect coverage of moderate acute malnutrition management from 30.5% in 2018 to 40.0% in 2024 (programme indicator).
