Commitment
Reducing child and maternal malnutrition
Description
- Commitment: By 2029, reduce the rate of stunting among children under 5 years of age from 37.9% (2022) to 32%, and anaemia among women of reproductive age from 46.7% (2019) to 20%, by strengthening preventive and curative interventions in vulnerable areas.
- Rationale: This commitment is based on the targets of the Multisectoral Strategic Plan (Table 2) and responds to the concerns of the Dialogue on insufficient food availability and difficult access to care, by prioritizing children and women (Axis 5).
- Key actions: Strengthen micronutrient supplementation (vitamin A, iron, folic acid), improve the management of acute malnutrition in health centres, and promote exclusive breastfeeding (target: >70% by 2029).
