Dire levels of childhood stunting present a major public health threat and it remains as a key human development challenge for Pakistan. Adequate food intake, environmental health, and care for children and women have a strong association with Pakistan’s stunting levels. . The repeated waves of COVID-19 since March 2020 in exacerbating food insecurity and disrupting provision and use of basic health and nutrition services, have put an even larger number of under-five children at increased risk of stunting. Nutrition is prominent on Pakistan’s policy agenda as evidenced by the comprehensive Pakistan Multisectoral Nutrition Strategy 2018 (PMNS).
