Since 2019, the Aga Khan Development Network’s Central Asia Stunting Initiative has been tackling undernutrition in some of the most remote mountainous regions of Pakistan and also Afghanistan and Tajikistan.

In Gilgit-Baltistan, a mountainous province in northern Pakistan, the prevalence of stunting among children under 5, in the areas CASI works, has dropped from 41 to 35 percent in just five years - a faster rate than the global average.

Nutritionists have been visiting remote valleys, speaking to communities, assessing their health status, raising awareness of better feeding practices and, where necessary, providing high-nutrition supplementary feeding products.
