Childhood malnutrition represents one of the most formidable challenges to achieving health goals and economic success. The Ethiopian government has made a unique commitment to eradicate child stunting by 2030 through the Seqota Declaration (SD), which is a multi-phase and multi-sectoral approach. Childhood stunting is an indicator of malnutrition and deprived growth and brain development of a child. However, the impact of the expansion phase and the potential impact of the scale-up phases on key performance indicators, such as the number of stunting cases averted and the number of under-five deaths averted, have not been documented.Childhood malnutrition represents one of the most formidable challenges to achieving health goals and economic success.
