Target 2.2 of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aims to end all forms of malnutrition by 2030, addressing the global nutritional challenges that hinder the well-being of millions, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. The target emphasizes the need to combat all aspects of malnutrition, which includes stunting, wasting, and hidden hunger. These forms of malnutrition are interrelated but distinct, requiring tailored interventions to ensure the overall health and development of individuals, especially children under five years of age. Stunting is a condition primarily caused by chronic malnutrition, which results in impaired growth and development. It occurs when a child does not receive adequate nutrition over an extended period, particularly in the first 1,000 days of life (from conception to age two). The impact of stunting is profound, as it not only affects a child's height but also their cognitive development and immune system, leading to long-term consequences on learning abilities, economic productivity, and overall health. Stunting is a direct reflection of inadequate dietary intake, poor maternal health, and a lack of proper infant and young child feeding practices. The global prevalence of stunting remains unacceptably high, especially in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, where the majority of stunted children live. Wasting, on the other hand, refers to acute malnutrition, characterized by a rapid loss of weight relative to height. It is often a result of recent food shortages, illness, or poor health care, causing the body to lose muscle and fat. Wasting is particularly dangerous as it weakens the body's ability to fight infections, leading to higher mortality rates, especially among children under five. It is a major indicator of a crisis or emergency situation, such as natural disasters, conflicts, or pandemics, where food access is restricted, and health services are inadequate. While stunting is a chronic condition, wasting represents a more immediate, severe form of malnutrition that demands urgent intervention to prevent life-threatening complications. Hidden hunger, also known as micronutrient deficiency, refers to a lack of essential vitamins and minerals in the diet, despite the person being of normal weight or height. It occurs when people consume sufficient calories but lack the micronutrients needed for proper bodily functions. Common deficiencies include vitamin A, iron, iodine, zinc, and folate, which are critical for immunity, brain function, and overall health. Hidden
