Afghanistan - Malnutrition Prevalence

The major drivers of acute malnutrition in Afghanistan include inadequate quantity and poor quality of children diets, high prevalence of diseases (diarrhea, malaria, acute respiratory infection and measles outbreaks) and inadequate access to safe drinking water, sanitation and low hygiene practices. Additionally, reduced access to health and nutrition services, suboptimal breastfeeding practices, and high levels of food insecurity exacerbate acute malnutrition. Other risk factors like widespread shocks, including drought, flooding and population displacement continue to negatively impact the nutrition situation.
