How Ethiopia's Seqota Declaration is uniting a nation to end child stunting in a generation

Ethiopia has spent over a decade building the evidence, financing and political will to end child stunting, and since joining the Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Movement in 2012, that ambition has been carried forward through the government-led Seqota Declaration, a 15-year roadmap uniting nine sectors behind one goal.

This case study explores:

• How Ethiopia built a home-grown, governmentowned roadmap to end child stunting.
• What SUN Movement membership added to national coordination.
• How a package of multisectoral interventions reaches families at home, at school and in their communities.
• Which programmes are reaching families on the ground.
• What results have been achieved, and what challenges remain.
