Goal action plan

In Mali, the results of the study on the cost of hunger indicate that malnutrition costs the Malian State about 265 billion FCFA a year or 4.06% of its Gross Domestic Product. The results of the study highlight the future human and economic losses that the country could face if the level of malnutrition is not brought under control. Therefore, it is essential to find long-term solutions to reduce the burden of malnutrition in all its forms.
