Other health care programmes

The following programmes also have the potential to improve child nutrition.


  • UNICEF’s Accelerated Child Survival and Development Programme in West and Central Africa, focussing on immunization, antenatal care and malaria prevention, operates in Nigerian states where stunting rates are highest.
  • The State Drug Revolving Fund Programme in Jigawa has a Deferral and Exemption Component, under which certain social groups, usually those living in extreme poverty, have free access to drugs and medical treatment. Katsina has targeted health services for children (measles vaccination).
