Nutrition fact sheet

Progress, challenges and what we want to achieve.

Highlights

Tanzania made significant progress in improving nutrition among children under 5 years of age. During the period 1992– 2015, there was a tangible reduction in the number of underweight children and in those suffering from chronic malnourishment. However, despite these gains, concerns persist regarding the high rates of stunting among children and the stark disparities in nutritional status.
