Abstract:
The Seqota Declaration is the Government of Ethiopia’s commitment to end child under-nutrition
by 2030. It reaffirms the government’s commitment to nutrition as a foundation for economic
development with a focus on human capital development. It is implemented under the National
Nutrition Program II (NNP II). This 15-years program focuses on delivering high-impact
interventions in 33 Woredas of the Tekeze river basin in Amhara and Tigray Regional states. The
National Nutrition Plan II and Seqota Declaration strategy have prioritized nutrition specific and
nutrition sensitive interventions to contribute to the reduction of stunting. Such strategic objectives
and interventions can only be implemented through multi-stakeholder partnership and coordination
in SD Woredas.
