How is Senegal Winning the Battle Against Malnutrition? Discussion of Lessons from Policy and Program Interventions

Between 2000 and 2016, Senegal made remarkable progress in reducing undernutrition. The prevalence of stunting decreased from 30 to 19 percent.

• What did Senegal do differently?
• What did it take to mobilize government at the cross ministerial level?
• How did CLM get buy-in from local organizations and government?
• How did CLM mobilize funding to achieve its goal?
• What are the practical lessons for other countries to bring their nutrition programs to scale?

During this seminar/ webinar Mr. Abdoulaye Ka, Head of Senegal’s nutrition coordination unit, Cellule de Lutte Contre la Malnutrition (CLM) will discuss concrete practical steps that Senegal has taken to put into action a set of winning program policies and partnerships to become a frontrunner in the fight against malnutrition in Africa.
