Assessment
Increase government budget allocations to support the building plan.
Within the framework of the national multisectoral nutrition plan for 2016-2020, the State of Côte d'Ivoire has committed to financing 15% of the overall cost (i.e. 49 billion CFA francs). The state has committed to an investment project on nutrition and early childhood development with the World Bank for an amount of 32 billion CFA francs.
Reported progress suggests commitment is on course.
Contribute 15% of the overall cost to implement the National Multisectoral Nutrition Plan, which will represent 70 million USD over 5 years.

Increase rates of exclusive breastfeeding in the first 6 months from 23% to 72% by 2025.
The breastfeeding rate has improved from 12% in 2012 to 21.5% in 2016. We do not have recent data since 2016. For greater impact, a national multisectoral breastfeeding plan of 5 billion CFA francs has been drawn up, fully financed, and is due to start in May 2020.
Insufficient data to assess the commitment.
1. Reduce the prevalence of chronic malnutrition, from 29.8% to 20% in 2018.
2. Reduce the rate of acute malnutrition at the national level of 7.1% to less than 5% by 2018, focusing on areas of high prevalence.
3. Eliminate by 2018 all the problems related to iodine deficiency, strengthening legislation, by controlling the quality of the salt in the border areas and in sentinel community sites and in promoting consumption of iodized salt.
The latest assessment to date (MICS 2016) shows an improvement in:
Chronic malnutrition from 29.8% in 2012 to 21.6% in 2016; and
Acute malnutrition from 7.1% in 2012 to 6% in 2016.
A difficulty worth noting: to date (i.e. four years later) we do not have recent data. The Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey/Demographic and Health Survey (MICS/EDS) surveys are carried out in countries almost every 5 years (5-year periodicity). A survey should be due for Côte d'Ivoire in 2021.
For the elimination of iodine deficiency: legislation has been strengthened with the adoption of decree no. 2018-512 rendering the enrichment of salt with iodine compulsory. A 2019-2021 plan for the elimination of TDCI has been drafted. Another difficulty worth highlighting is that for more than 20 years we have not had recent data on micronutrient deficiencies, in particular data on iodine deficiency and goitre. In addition, there is a real problem with resource mobilisation in this area.

The breastfeeding rate has improved from 12% in 2012 to 21.5% in 2016. We do not have recent data since 2016. Moreover, we do not have data on anaemia since 2012.
