Malnutrition is widespread across Karamoja - 33 percent of children under 5 are stunted, whilst 14 percent are wasted and unlikely to reach their full cognitive and physical potential. The overarching objective of the FNG was to bring stakeholders together to identify and prioritise context specific policies and programmes, aimed at improving the nutrient intakes of target groups across the lifecycle. These groups were defined as the first 1,000 days from conception to a child’s second birthday, i.e. including adolescent girls, pregnant and lactating women and children under-two.
