This is good news especially for low and middle income countries where diets rich in micronutrients are often unaffordable for women of child bearing age.
#TimeIsNow for governments to lead policy change and accelerate the adoption of MMS.

Prior to #COVID19 pandemic 4 in 10 parents lived in extreme poverty with the figure rising now to 6 in 10. Poverty is on the rise and malnutrition continues to stunt our children. Now is the time to act!

About 2 million children aged 6-59 months in Nigeria suffer from acute #malnutrition with more than half of this number severely malnourished.Closing the affordability gap and ensuring good nutrition for children is crucial for saving lives.

Ensuring good nutrition for all especially children,adolescents,pregnant and breastfeeding mothers is crucial for saving lives and securing families and nations future health and development.

[CHAI @ChildAdvocacyNG]

As the cost of food rises in Nigeria, many children can no longer eat nutritious food. All stakeholders must prioritise child nutrition and work together to address the current state of poverty and malnutrition
