The rate of malnutrition among African children remains high.

Despite significant improvements in stunting rates over the past decades, one in three children in West and Central Africa still suffers from stunting.

In Mali, nearly 1 million children are at risk of acute malnutrition by the end of 2023. Around 32% of children in Africa are growth retarded, and nearly 80% lack adequate nutrition.

To address this situation, UNICEF has called on public and private organizations to participate in the “First Foods” initiative to create sustainable, systemic change, adapt to climate change, and transform food systems to sustainably prevent child malnutrition in West and Central Africa.
