Nigeria
Nutrition for Growth (N4G) commitment
Reported progress
Assessment
The FG released 700 million naira (US$1.7 million) for the procurement of Nutrition Commodities in 2020.
Poor government revenue generation in COVID-19 is cited, and the disbursement of US$1.7 million in 2020 is lower than the commitment of US$10 million alongside an additional US$20 million
Stunting rate is 37% (Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey 2018)
Assuming a linear rate of reduction, the stunting prevalence in 2018 (37%) is higher than the required prevalence by this stage to remain on course with the target of 28% by 2021.
National Policy on Food and Nutrition was reviewed in 2016
NSPAN (National Strategic Plan of Action on Nutrition) and MIYCN (Maternal Infant and Young Child Nutrition Policy) reviewed
At least half of the individual commitment components are assessed to be on course
SMART Survey which is usually conducted yearly, was not conducted in 2020
ANRIN (Accelerating Nutrition Results in Nigeria) Programme currently being implemented in 12 States of the Country
Reported progress states that the target will not be achieved within the original timeframe.
