The Case for Investment in Nutrition in Sudan

Over the period 2015 to 2019, scaling up a package of selected nutrition-specific and nutrition sensitive interventions to cover 90 per cent of Sudan would: <br> - Reduce the under-five mortality rate to 49/1,000 live births<br> - Reduce the prevalence of stunting to 25 per cent<br> - Reduce the prevalence of wasting (global acute malnutrition – GAM) to 6 per cent <br> - Increase exclusive breastfeeding to 63 per cent<br> - Reduce iron deficiency anaemia among pregnant women to 26 per cent.
