No child should go hungry when we know how to prevent it. Every single day, 70% of children in Nigeria, fail to meet the minimum criteria of a healthy, balanced diet. This makes Nigeria home to the highest number of stunted and malnourished children in Africa.
This is a story about Child Survival and how some communities have been using a model called CMAM(Community Management of Acute Malnutrition) to break the cycle of malnutrition.
Nigeria has recentyl joined the Global Movement for scling up Nutrition (SUN) emphasising its willingness to adopt urgent steps to tackle malnutrition. But doing this alone is not enough, a Ring-fenced budget line must be created specifically for nutrition because No child should go hungry when we know how to prevent it.
