Commitment description
One of the policy priority areas under the National Nutrition Policy of Sri Lanka is Nutrition improvement throughout the life course. Based on this priority, Multisector Action Plan for Nutrition 2018-2025 clearly identifies "Reduce the Prevalence of wasting to less than 5%" as a key result area.
