Overview
Chronic malnutrition remains a significant public health threat despite improvements in this regard over the years such as halving the prevalence of underweight and wasted among children under five years. Ghana has made great progress toward achieving a number of malnutrition targets, particularly for children and women who are of reproductive age, according to the 2022 Global Nutrition Report. The nation is making steady progress toward achieving the objective for stunting (17.5%) and the target for wasting (6.8%) among children under the age of five. However, Ghana is making only modest progress toward meeting the objective for obesity and diet-related non-communicable diseases (NCDs) due to the rising prevalence of NCD during the past few decades.
Household food and nutrition security, which is unevenly distributed throughout the nation, is a significant underlying factor that contributes to the double disease burden associated with malnutrition in Ghana. Currently, rural and peri-urban communities across the nation, as well as northern Ghana, have the highest rates of malnutrition. This is explained by, among other things, the stark differences in food and nutrition security between the northern and southern regions of the nation as well as between rural and urban areas.
