NIGERIA AND THE MALNUTRITION REPORT

The **Nigeria and the Malnutrition Report** is a periodic assessment—often produced by the United Nations World Food Programme, UNICEF, or the Nigerian government—that documents the prevalence, causes, and consequences of under‑nutrition, micronutrient deficiencies, and over‑nutrition across Nigeria’s states and regions. It compiles data on child stunting, wasting, and under‑weight; maternal nutrition; food insecurity; and the impact of conflicts, climate shocks, and poverty. The report also outlines national and international interventions, policy recommendations, and funding needs aimed at reducing malnutrition and achieving the Sustainable Development Goal target of ending all forms of malnutrition by 2030.
