Building a healthier future in Tanzania through improved nutrition
Guided by the country’s National Multi-sectoral Nutrition Action Plan, we work with government to improve the health and nutrition of the population, particularly women, adolescent girls and children.
Tanzania has made progress in combatting malnutrition but much more remains to be done.
Through concerted efforts by the government and partners, malnutrition levels in the country have declined over the last decade. The rate of stunting in children under five declined from 42% in 2010 to 31.8% in 2018, and the prevalence of anaemia in adult women dropped from 41% to 28.8% in the same period.
Despite this improvement, the current levels of stunting and anaemia are still considered severe public health threats.

Through close collaboration with government departments in the Tanzania mainland and Zanzibar, we are:
