Malawi is committed to accelerating progress toward ending hunger and undernutrition.

To help determine how to do so, Compact2025 convened a roundtable discussion in Lilongwe, Malawi on May 26, 2016.

Malawi has made significant progress in reducing hunger and undernutrition. From 1990 to 2015, prevalence of undernourishment has fallen by more than half (from 45 percent to 21 percent), and as of 2015/16 just 4 percent of children suffer from wasting (low weight for height). Yet challenges remain, as 42 percent of children are stunted (low height for age) and 29 percent of women of reproductive age are anemic.

To address these challenges and accelerate progress, the Compact2025 roundtable discussion in Malawi brought together stakeholders from various sectors—including agriculture, social protection, nutrition, gender, water, and sanitation.
