We conducted a systematic review to address gaps in understanding the quality of Health Management Information System (HMIS) data, particularly nutrition data, across Ethiopia's diverse regions. We screened 790 papers, including 25 studies, to evaluate completeness, consistency, and timeliness metrics as per WHO standards.

the national average daily cost to cover two-thirds of the daily calorie requirement for primary students who are aged 6–18 years and beneficiaries of the school feeding program. This cost is calculated by using the locally available food items retail price to meet the expected daily calorie requirement for the school feeding program. The average national cost of two meals per child per day is 41.8 ETB.

Policy and governance play critical roles in addressing food security, nutrition, and food system, often overshadowing scientifically validated strategies. The National Information Platform for Nutrition (NiPN) represents a transformative approach to nutrition policy by emphasizing evidence-based decisionmaking using available data.

Edible Oil: National coverage is high at 89%, ranging from 77.5% (Dire Dawa) to 96% (Addis Ababa). Urban households (93.4%) consume more than rural ones (87%). Wheat Flour: National coverage remains low (<30%), with highest consumption in Somali (67.5%) and Harari (63.5%), and lowest in Tigray (17%). Its limited reach reduces its impact on micronutrient deficiencies.

The Delphi study generated strong consensus among experts across ten thematic domains, highlighting the following key insights: -  High-Level political commitment is vital.  Neutral Coordination Body is essential to mitigate sectoral competition.  Subnational Weaknesses persist, including lack of dedicated staff, resources, and coordination structures.  Siloed Data Systems hinder integrated monitoring and decision-making.

Coverage of essential nutrition interventions is sub-optimal: The highest coverage for mothers were observed for the early initiation of breastfeeding (78%) and receiving tetanus toxoid during pregnancy (67%). In contrast, only 17% of women received 90 or more iron/folate tablets during pregnancy. For children, vaccination interventions had the highest coverage.

Childhood malnutrition remains a significant challenge to achieving health and economic development goals.To address this, the Government of Ethiopia made a bold commitment to end child stunting by 2030 through the Seqota Declaration (SD) a multi-phase, multisectoral initiative.

School Feeding Programs (SFPs) are essential for im-proving the nutritional, health, and educational out-comes of schoolchildren. However, challenges re-main in ensuring these programs are both affordable and sustainable.

Data sources identified: We identified a total of 62 data sources. The main types of data sources were surveys (87%), randomized controlled trials and longi tudinal follow-up studies (8%), and routine monitoring information systems (5%). The majority of the data sources identified were only representative at the pro ject or study implementation areas. Less than a fifth of the data sources were nationally and regionally repre sentative.

This rapid review brings together global research evidence (from systematic reviews) and local evi dence to inform deliberations/decision makers about improving adolescent undernutrition in Ethiopia. We searched for relevant evidence describing the prob lem, and possible options for addressing the prob lem, from systematic reviews.
