DPM urges ongoing nutrition investment in local communities
Laos still needs to continue investing in nutrition at the local level to create an enabling environment in which communities can produce and access nutritious food for themselves.
While the Lao Social Indicator Survey (LSIS-II, 2017) reported stunting has decreased from 44 percent in LSIS-I to 33 percent, significant disparities remain across the 18 provinces because some nutrition projects still lack support.
