| Summary: | Senegal has one of the most effective
and comprehensive nutrition service delivery systemsin
Africa. Between 1991–92 and 2012–13, chronic malnutrition
dropped from 34.4 percent to lessthan 20 percent. However,
this progress has not led to stepped up nutrition-sensitive
interventions in relevant sectors such as agriculture,
education, water and sanitation, social protection, or
health. This absence of nutrition-sensitive interventions,
combined with aseries of external shocks (economic crises,
increased food prices, and irregular rainfall), has resulted
in a persistent fragmentation of approaches, discourse,and
interventions. As a result, there is no comprehensive
framework guiding nutrition investments in Senegal. |
