Seqota Declaration: Impact of the expansion phase and potential impact of the scale-up phase on child stunting and mortality

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. The SD began with an innovation phase (2015–2020), moved into an expansion phase (2021–2025), and will progress to a scale-up phase (2026–2030)
