Pakistan is currently facing a triple burden of malnutrition with unabated rates of undernutrition, micronutrient deficiencies along with overweight and obesity. Malnutrition levels in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) are marginally lower then national averages, however some of the highest levels are found the Newly-Merged Districts of KP (KP-NMD), formerly the Federally administered Tribal areas. Irreversible damage from chronic malnutrition occurs during the “first 1000 days,” which is the period from conception to the child’s second birthday. The burden of malnutrition among rural and urban populations and those representing the poorest and richest income quintiles also exhibits variation. Success in tackling malnutrition relies on cross-sectoral action plans encompassing at the very least health, food, agriculture, poverty, water and sanitation sectors. Provincial strategizing must be supported with federal coordination through the development of a national nutrition policy, funding commitments under medium term budgetary framework and links with key federal programmes. Nutrition advocacy, community education, defining of affordable interventions, technical capacity building at districts and interim progress monitoring are key areas for investment in KP.
