With a 38% stunting rate, Rwanda needs to accelerate progress on under nutrition, according to the latest economic update. The report notes that stunting rates are highest among the poorest households, and those living in rural areas. Recommendations include to adopt a pro-poor approach, targeting the poorest children and those under two years of age during the critical 1000-day window, beyond which stunting is largely irreversible.
