Malnutrition among children doesn’t just mean hunger. It means poor growth, weakened immunity, reduced brain development, and long-term consequences that can last a child’s lifetime. According to UNICEF and WHO, millions of children across the sub-region suffer from chronic malnutrition—often in the form of stunting, wasting, or severe underweight.

But behind the numbers are real stories—of mothers struggling to feed their children, of communities battling droughts, and of farmers working tirelessly with limited tools.

This edition of the programme examines various strategies for addressing malnutrition issues, particularly in grassroots communities.
