The National Nutrition Action Plan

The National Nutrition Action Plan 2012-2017 (NNAP) is guided by the Food and Nutrition Security Policy (FNSP, 2012) and Food and Nutrition Security Strategy (FSNS, draft 2008). The

NNAP is as a result of nutrition situation analysis and extensive consultations with nutrition stakeholders. The purpose of the NNAP is to provide a framework for coordinating implementation of nutrition interventions by the government and nutrition stakeholders for maximum impact at all levels. The priority nutrition areas spelt out in the FSNS provided a conceptual guide to the development of the National Nutrition Action Plan, which further identified strategic objectives each with corresponding activities and expected outcomes outlined as follows:

To improve the nutritional status of women of reproductive age (15-49 years)
To improve the nutrition status of children under five years of age.
To reduce the prevalence of micronutrient deficiencies in the population
To prevent deterioration of nutritional status and save lives of vulnerable groups in emergencies
To improve access to curative nutrition services
To improve prevention, management and control of diet related non communicable diseases
To improve nutrition in schools, private and public institutions
To improve knowledge, attitudes and practices on optimal nutrition among the population
To strengthen nutrition surveillance, monitoring and evaluation systems
