National Nutrition Policy
A report on micro-nutrient deficiencies, stunting and the emerging issue of over-nutrition

Highlights
Despite appreciable reductions in malnutrition rates significant numbers of people in Ghana, especially women and children are still affected by micro-nutrient deficiencies, stunting and emerging issue of over-nutrition that ultimately undermine their health and development.
Indeed the gains made have not equitable across all areas of the country and across all categories of women and children, with wide geographical and socio-economic disparities. This is largely because interventions have not been implemented at scale in all parts of the country in a sustainable and coordinated manner across relevant sectors.
