Commitment description
The Government of Nepal commits to accelerating nutrition progress towards national, WHA and SDG targets on all forms of malnutrition, reducing preventable deaths associated with undernutrition in the next 9 years (from 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2030). This will be achieved by improving nutrition governance and accountability, creating an enabling policy environment for nutrition, ensuring adequate resources, enforcing acts including effective implementation of MotherÂs Milk Substitute Act, implementing gender responsive and resilient multi-sector nutrition specific/sensitive actions, focusing on equity and quality of nutrition services, integrating nutrition into universal health coverage and developing evidence based policies and programs. Progress will be assessed using the National Nutrition Survey conducted every 3 to 5 years. Approximately NPR 97,032 million has been estimated by the Government of Nepal to cover associated costs and will be partially supported by development partners, civil societies, and private sectors.
