Preventing and managing child malnutrition in highly vulnerable regionsThe Joint Programme general objective is to reduce and maintain the under 5 acute malnutrition rates less than 10%. The programme includes two main components. The first component will improve at the national level malnutrition prevention through the promotion of better feeding practices based on local foodstuffs for children aged 0-5.
