Malnutrition is closely linked to poverty, low-quality food, high disease prevalence, and overall poor health conditions. It is estimated to contribute to over one-third of all child deaths, even though it is seldom identified as the direct cause.

One response to “Malnutrition”
Food insecurity continues to pose a major challenge in Africa, where millions struggle with hunger and malnutrition, particularly in Eastern, Western, and Central Africa.
While global hunger rates are on the decline, they are rising in Africa and Western Asia, with forecasts suggesting a significant increase in the number of chronically undernourished individuals by 2030.
Importantly, it should be emphasized that food security is intrinsically linked to national security. It is imperative to give this issue the attention it deserves and to address it in a timely and effective manner.
