Organizational Context   The fundamental mission of UNICEF is to promote the rights of every child, leaving no one behind. In Nigeria, the nutrition situation of children under five has recorded minimal change, and currently, Nigeria is off track to achieving the World Health Assembly 2025 and the Sustainable Development Goals 2030. Approximately one in three children under five in Nigeria is stunted, while one of every ten children is wasted. Consequently, Nigeria has the second-highest number of malnourished children in the world and the highest in Africa. Malnutrition, in all its forms, is a violation of a children’s right to adequate nutrition. To change the narrative, UNICEF in partnership with the government and other stakeholders aims to deliver good quality prevention and treatment services at scale to build resilience and protect the most vulnerable, particularly during the First 1000 Days of Life.
