Commitment description

Diverse diet helps to provide the children with the essential nutrients that they need for growth and development resulting in reduced risk of stunting, wasting and being underweight. The government of the United Republic of Tanzania in collaboration with development partners commits to increase the proportion of children 6-23 months who consume a minimum acceptable diet from 30% to 50% by 2026. Key interventions have been lined up for implementation in the NMNAP II at a cost of TZS 162.4 Million (USD 70,605.45) to be implemented particularly through the health sector, WASH, food security, and community development sectors and monitored under NMNAPII framework.
