Nepal’s significant progress in the nutrition of mothers and children at risk due to current inequities and COVID-19 pandemic: UNICEF
January 20, 2022 19:40 pm
KATHMANDU, Jan 20: Nepal achieved globally renowned progress in reducing child stunting and scaling up nutrition services during the Millennium Development Goals era (2002 -2016), despite periods of political and economic instability, according to a special supplement of the Maternal and Child Nutrition Journal published on Thursday. However, the country still faces considerable nutrition-related challenges. Progress towards the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) targets on stunting and wasting is not advancing at the speed, scale or equity required, and may be further derailed by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
