Where this comes from

Abstract

Despite multiple policies, child undernutrition in Mozambique remains high due to poverty, weak health and food systems, limited community engagement, and poor multisectoral integration. Strengthening coordinated, community-centered governance is urgently needed to ensure effective implementation and sustainable impact.
