Africa-Press<\/a> – Ethiopia<\/a>. <\/strong>Addis Ababa, May 10\/2021 ( ENA) African Development Bank (ADB) and Ministry of Finance have signed over a 31-million-USD grant agreement to support the efforts to end stunting and child malnutrition of children in the country.<\/p>\n

Finance State Minister Yasmin Wohabrebbi and ADB East Africa Regional Development and Business Delivery Office Deputy Director-General Abdu B. Kamara inked the agreement today.<\/p>\n

The agreement under the Seqota Declaration will be implemented in Amhara and Tigray regions, it was learned.<\/p>\n

During the signing ceremony, Finance State Minister Yasmin said the grant will be used to further support efforts to eradicate the underlying causes of chronic under-nutrition and ending stunting among children.<\/p>\n

It also supports the implementation of the Food and Nutrition Strategy of Ethiopia which aims to deliver high-impact nutrition-specific and infrastructure interventions across multiple sectors such as health, agriculture, water, education, and environment, she stated.<\/p>\n

East Africa Dev\u2019t and Business Delivery Office Deputy Director-General Kamara said the financial commitment is part of ADB\u2019s continued support to the development of Ethiopia and will contribute to the country\u2019s plan to reduce and end stunting.<\/p>\n

The Government of Ethiopia has signed the Seqota Declaration in July 2015 to end child malnutrition by 2030.<\/p>\n

The declaration reflects the government\u2019s plan to improve nutrition and recognize the role of nutrition to propel sustainable development.<\/p>\n

Under its 10 year prospective plan, Ethiopia envisages to reduce stunting from 37 percent to 13 percent for children under the age of 5, and from 7 to 3 percent for kids under the age of 1 by 2020, he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
