Goal action plan
Malnutrition is caused by various factors that affect several sectors, and directly or indirectly affect the body's intake and absorption of nutrients. The immediate causes of malnutrition are inadequate nutrient intake and the presence of disease. The underlying causes of malnutrition are multiple and multi-sectoral and include poor food availability at the household level, poor care practices, poor access to health services and inadequate environments (poor access to water, hygiene and sanitation). Combating malnutrition requires a multi-sectoral approach, targeting both the immediate causes but also the underlying causes and the root causes that address 12 of the 17 SDGs for long-term gains. Mali's various commitments are in line with its strategic commitment to strengthen the multisectoral and multi-stakeholder approach since 2013.
