Gender Barriers to Nutrition Services: Lessons from the WINNN Programme

Abstract

Northern Nigeria has a high prevalence of child malnutrition, with around 10% of children (aged 6–59 months) acutely malnourished, one-third underweight, and over 50% stunted. This brief summarises learning from Working to Improve Nutrition in Northern Nigeria (WINNN) programme which supported the implementation of three nutrition-specific interventions for mothers and children in five states in northern Nigeria.
