Background
The Government of Ethiopia has been implementing a comprehensive economic reform programme over the past decades. This reform programme has resulted in remarkable economic performance leading to social and macroeconomic development and political stability. To enhance its present and future economic growth opportunities, increased efforts needed for cost-effective interventions that address the food and nutrition security of the nation. Optimal nutrition is fundamental to achieving the overall objective of Ethiopia’s second Growth and Transformation Plan (GTP II) of becoming a lower middle-income country by 2025.
The Government of Ethiopia has demonstrated its policy commitment to nutrition by developing a standalone National Nutrition Strategy (NNS) and National Nutrition Program (NNP) in 2008. The Government has put in place number of high impact interventions to improve the nutritional status of vulnerable segments of the population. The country has also established multi-sectoral nutrition coordination platform at the Federal, regional and sub-regional levels in order to sustainably improve the nutritional status of its population through implementation of nutrition-specific and nutrition sensitive interventions. Furthermore, the Ethiopian government has renewed its commitment to end child under-nutrition by 2030 by launching the “Seqota Declaration” in July 2015. As a result, the prevalence of chronic malnutrition (stunting) decreased by 19.6% (from 58% to 38.4%), the proportion of underweight children declined by 17% (from 41% to 23.6%) and wasting decreased from 12% to 9.9% between 2000 and 2016.
In order to accelerate the existing government’s efforts to end undernutrition and hunger, the federal government has developed a five years National Nutrition program II which covers a period from 2016-2020. Furthermore, the National Nutrition Coordinating Body has made recommendation to develop Food and Nutrition Policy for Ethiopia, which is in its final draft stage pending endorsement.
