Commitment description

Anemia is a major national health problem in Tanzania and a large number of women are severely affected. The government of the United Republic of Tanzania in collaboration with development partners commits to implement evidence-based nutrition specific and nutrition sensitive interventions to reduce the prevalence of anemia among women (15-49 years) from 28.8% to 23%, by 2026. The interventions will be implemented, monitored and evaluated under the NMNAP II, building on achievements and experiences gained by the health sector, other nutrition sensitive sectors and development partners in the sustained fight against anemia. A total of TZS 158.9 billion (USD 69 million) has been budgeted under the NMNAP II to fund planned actions for reducing anemia among women.
