Multi-country Formative Evaluation of the Key Result for Children (KRC) #2 ( Stunting Prevention) in Nigeria 2018-2020
Overview
This multi-country assessment will focus on UNICEF initiatives implemented to both prevent stunting among children in the West and Central Africa region - defined as “Key Result for Children or KRC 2”) and realize the
human right to health and to survival and development. KRC 2 is defined as follows: “By 2021, 80% (74 million) of girls and boys under 5, especially those who are marginalized and those living in humanitarian settings, receive high impact nutrition servicesto prev ntstunting” . The area of intervention is quite crucial as the lessons learned from the last 15 years show that no lasting results for children can be achieved without the reduction of stunting. Reduction (and prevention) of stunting is a key marker of development (or lack of it) which entails significant economic and societal costs over the long term. Moreover, even if the technical solutions and opportunities to face the challenge of stunting exist, they are not yet optimized. Hence not
only the need to increase the speed and scale of interventions and investments in this area, but also the need to
understand more systematically what works and what does not in the prevention of stunting.
This evaluation will capture the complexity and plurality of interventions and strategies put in place in the field of
prevention of stunting and will focus on the multisectoral and multidisciplinary approach which is now a pillar of the strategy adopted for the realization of the KRC2.
