Pakistan is currently facing a triple burden of malnutrition with unabated rates of undernutrition, micronutrient deficiencies along with overweight and obesity. Pakistan has the largest population of stunted children in South Asia, an indication of chronic malnutrition in children under 5 years of age. Sindh has very high rates of malnutrition that are unevenly distributed across the province. Irreversible damage from chronic malnutrition occurs during the “first 1000 days,” which is the period from conception to the child’s second birthday. 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 Sindh.
