Childhood stunting (defined as being too short for one’s age) has long-lasting impacts on children’s physical and cognitive development. These impacts, in turn, reduce productivity and compromise health well into adulthood. Stunting is a direct and largely irreversible result of inadequate nutritional intake on the part of both the mother and child, coupled with frequent infections and illnesses during the frst 1,000 days of a child’s life. The underlying causes include dietary defciencies, lack of exclusive breastfeeding, as well as inadequate access to water and sanitation services, poor hygiene, and caregiver neglect. Stunting can be reduced only through concerted multisectoral action, an approach that the government of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Lao PDR) has adopted. To improve children’s nutritional intake and mitigate childhood stunting requires coordinated efforts focused on WASH services, infant-focussed education, and nutrition. Policy makers would do well to consider the indepth research connecting WASH services, hygiene practices, and nutritional outcomes.
