Sex-Based Inequalities in Child Nutrition in Zambia
File Type: PDF | File Size: 766.68 KB
The prevalence of stunting in male children under five (CU5) in Zambia is 42%, while female stunting is 38%. This difference is magnified in Zambia’s Eastern Province, where the Feed the Future (FTF) Zambia Mawa Project works to improve household nutrition among 12,500 households in Chipata and Lundazi districts.
The purpose of this research was to understand whether community-led complementary feeding and learning sessions (CCFLS), a CRS approach to prevent malnutrition among children under two (CU2) implemented under Mawa, is an effective method for addressing sex-based differences in stunting in children aged 6–23 months.
