Commitment description

The objective of the Nutrition Action Plan, unveiled as part of the National Food and Nutrition Security Policy and Strategy-PyENSAN 2030, is to end all forms of malnutrition and address lifelong nutritional needs. The plan has a particular focus on undernourishment, chronic malnutrition, growth retardation, wasting, underweight and overweight children under the age of 5, and anaemia in women and children, among other micronutrient deficiencies, as well as halting the upward trend of excessive weight and obesity and reducing the burden of diet-related non-communicable diseases across all age groups.
