Goal action plan
In recent years, the prevalence of stunting in Chad has remained stable at around 30%. The 2020 National SMART survey shows a prevalence at 30.5%, probably due to
a combination of factors, mainly, the poor quality of food intake due to bad Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) practices (exclusive breastfeeding rate estimated countrywide at 16.4% and the minimum adequate diet at 13.6%), poor sanitation, low coverage of access to drinking water. So in response we are implementing our scale up IYCF plan.

Off course
The reported progress indicates that the expected level thus far had not yet been achieved and is not expected to be achieved by the end date, but as the end date is not yet reached, it could be still be possible to reach and maintain the target level.
