Tackling malnutrition in northern Ghana amid pandemic
The first 1,000 days in every child’s life is a very critical period for growth and development.
During this period, the demand for essential micronutrients is usually very high for organ formation and the health of the mother.
However, a recent nutrition data analysis in the Sagnarigu Municipality in the Northern Region of Ghana revealed that Sagnarigu has the highest percentage for stunted children in the Northern Region with 47.6% as well as children underweight with 31%. (USAID METSS Survey, 2017).
