November 18, 2024
In 2018, the African Development Bank launched the Multi-Sectoral Nutrition Action Plan (MNAP) 2018-2025 to advance its equitable growth agenda and support the grey matter infrastructure. Linked to the Bank’s High 5 priorities, the MNAP aims to reduce stunting by 40% across Africa by 2025 through nutrition-smart investments in key sectors: health, agriculture, WASH, social protection, and education. The plan focuses on three main areas: leveraging the Bank’s leadership to boost nutrition efforts, integrating nutrition into its operations, and increasing the production and consumption of nutritious foods.
