Country

The country I chose to speak upon was Nepal, Asia. Nepal is a South Asian country that is known for its temples and being in the mountains. It holds a population around 29.3 million people. Statistically Nepal would be considered a country in poverty as 25.2% of the population lives below the national poverty line (Elmer, 2019).

Statistics

In Nepal, around 1 million children under 5 years old suffer from chronic malnutrition and 10% suffer from acute malnutrition (UNICEF, 2019). Good nutrition is extremely vital for not only the health of children but also their overall survival. Statistics also show that:

· 95 per cent of children live in households that consume iodized salt.

· Vitamin A prophylaxis coverage for children aged 6 to 59 months stands at 86 per cent.

· Nepal was recognized as an “early riser” by the Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) movement for successful nutrition programme.

Recommendations

Dealing with a scenario like these recommendations I would look to make would include looking to have organizations and volunteers start programs in Nepal that would have nurses, doctors and just helpful individuals go out to support. This would allow for not only these children to be checked but could put them on some sort of program by having them come to the program or clinic started every few weeks to be checked and given resources to get those nutrition rates up. I believe that having the proper resources of people and supplies would be the best recommendation for Nepal as a whole.
